I have no idea. If I had to guess, I'd say the problems are that it's not cost effective and it could cause eBay to hold the bag in the case of fraud. I'm not sure that it would be as little as $20 to process shipments, and photographs aren't necessarily going to show problems such as defective products or counterfeit goods. It requires a more lengthy examination by an expert. I think there's a small market opportunity here though. Gazelle and some other companies are doing this for some electronics. Instead of essentially acting as an escrow, they are buying a tested, QA'd product outright from the seller, and then selling it for a more hefty markup on eBay and other outlets. Small, high value goods with high margins such as electronics, luxury clothing, and jewelry may be a good business here if it marketing can be scaled cost effectively.
