No, what C'kayah is complaining about is more along the lines of listing some high-demand item on the marketboard, but then throwing up an advert in PF saying, "if you pay me this item's value, I'll take it off the market and reserve it for you; you can then trade me the listed price for the item itself".
But I don't see what's wrong with that, either? If people are willing to pay it, it's not exploitation, it's business. Either you want something badly enough to pay the extra gil, or you don't. It's not as if housing is mandatory or extremely important. Sadly that's just how it works when it comes to limited resources.
