New "simplified fees" structure seems to be higher than their making it sound

I just finished reading the latest message on the new "simplified fee" structure. After looking at the coming fees it looks like I am going to be paying quite a bit more in fees than the advertised "Most sellers can still expect to see overall savings2." that is listed in the message.

Anybody else taken the time to do some quick math and see how the new structure is going to affect you? 

It seems Ebay is at the least being very misleading on this one. They act like it is going to save us sellers money but simple math and checking a few items vs what we are paying now quickly says this is not the case.

Yeah, it is a fee hike not a savings. We now get to look forward to being charged a FINAL VALUE FEE on the BUYER'S STATE SALES TAX PAID! Pretty slimy in my opinion.

I wasn't charged fees on sales tax.  This is no savings for us though, they just went back to the old fees. 9.15% + 2.9% + .30 = 11.5% + .30.   This is the time to be helping us, not raising fees. I know it seems minor, but they should be giving us discounts to help us through these tough times.
