Forced upgrade - managed seller - excessive fees

Just wonder how other sellers feel about recent changes.

Sold a $200 item even prior to the 'managed seller push', had costs of actual shipping to Hawaii and ended up with a 16% fee that is not even itemized. Lost $33 on a $200 sale. No adjustments for the fact that I paid $49 for actual shipping.

I did not want my bank account linked. I did not want 'manages seller status'.

All I see is a hidden fee increase disguised under new forced policies.

There must be other Ebay random sellers as upset as myself, right? 

I think Ebay has gone too far, there ought to be some push back.

How do others deal with these recent changes?

The fee was based on the item, shipping charges, and any tax the buyer paid. Ebay has always charged a FVF on shipping, the only new charge is the full FVF on any taxes the buyer paid. Ebay has never adjusted their FVF on shipping when you paid more than you charged the customer.
