Meadowlark - that's exactly right.
I sell item X that has been modified from the original. It will sell for $200. If the buyer has an original item X, I charge them an additional $100 until I recieve their's. I then refund the $100. That is a core exchange.
If the buyer does not have an original item X, they are charged the additional $100 with no core exchange.
You know, after writing this explanation, I think I've answered my own question. I'll make sure the "core charge" is included in the final price, eBay will get their FVF, and I'll just do the refund after the fact.

I'd never heard of eGold before. Checked out their site, and it's kind of interesting. I'm still trying to figure out how you get your money, though...

feasible,
I would be concerned about accepting Paypal for the original sale. If a customer thinks they deserve a core exchange refund, and they don't qualify, as in you didn't receive it, they sent the wrong item, or some such, they can refund themsleves the whole sale via Paypal.
I know as a bidder, though, I prefer to bid only on those auctions that accept Paypal. Hey, If I'm gonna blow my money by bidding on something, I want instant gratification and quick shipping!
