In October, I sold some parts for around $1300.00, and the fees were $63.94. In December, I sold a Go-Kart for $525.00. The listing fees were $8.35, and today I get an invoice for $100.00. Do they have a yearly member's fee of some sort? According to their figures, the selling fees should have been about $27.00. A hundred dollars is such a random amount, I can't figure out what it is. I've already checked, and it isn't spam. Just seems odd. Any ideas, or similiar issues?

That somewhat explains the recent decline in the number and variety of Ebay listings. A variety of fee changes (many obviously not well publicized) have made listing and selling financially riskier than in the past. Hope you get your issue resolved in a positive way.

That's exactly the problem.
I run a large eBay store as part of my daily routine and I can tell you eBay has been really pushing it with fee increases and crazy policy changes that make it hard to do business as a seller. Also, as someone else mentioned, if you paid by CC and do a chargeback you'll likely get your money back since PayPal does very little to protect the seller in that regard even if they're totally in the right (basically, "we didn't get our money so you don't either").
