It doesn't impact the seller's profits, because the sellers aren't discounting the items. The discount comes via eBay. It's just a tax write-off promotion to encourage traffic.
As far as selling on there, it's really more like 12% after eBay/PayPal fees. Whereas Reverb is about 6%. I no longer sell on eBay, but these sales codes definitely help with certain items/sellers. Antique places & pawn shops still use eBay, so it can be a good place for used gear like pedals, drum machines, and odds & ends.

The decreased music item fees are noticeable. Ebay's billing system is way less forceful. I've had reverb lock my account if I didn't pay the invoice within 2 days of receiving. Ebay on the other hand is totally lax and gives a clear due date, opposed to reverb's "DUE RaIGHT MEOW" policy.
I think a big reason why items sell quicker on ebay for me is the imposed time limit, I'd like reverb to add 5-10 day limits, even without the auction format.

Now I feel better about never selling anything on Reverb.

That's what I thought.
I thought it was totally free.
Not that seller fees were calculated and paid automatically upon receiving payment from a buyer.
