The whole whining and gnashing of teeth on the BGG site is an embarassment to the whole hobby.
First of all it's not price fixing (semantics).
Secondly, these whiners aren't interested in the growth of the hobby, they just want their 5% or they'll "never buy a game from Mayfair again."
Wah, Wah.
(Boycott's rarely work, even when they are for "noble" reasons...)
Mayfair is not worried about losing their business. Ultimately, Mayfair believes that this practice will sell more games. That is good for the Hobby, good for FLGS, and good for Mayfair.
