Great. I listed an expensive card and it sold. Here is the part I wanted to warn you about if you got the offer too and are considering listing an expensive card for sale or have done so: eBay did not honor the discount. The final value fees were $1,192.21. The discount applied was $154.38. Does $154.38 look like 50% of $1,191.21 to you? Me neither. 50% of $1,192.21 is $595.61. I contacted eBay and presented the numbers and they immediately credited me back another $200. Now, does $354.38 look like 50% of $1,192.21? Nope. I have to go back to eBay a second time and make them credit me back the remaining $241.23 of the discount that I am owed.
I am appalled.

Looks like they had the discount only applied to the first $2500 of value. I had a similar situation with a $5K card. Credit was not applied to the second $2500 of value. For me it was only about $20 of credit missing and I just passed on trying to get it but for $600 I would have been on the phone.
I think they just screwed up the formula but my discount was exactly the same as your initial one which reflects 12.35% of $2500.
I'm sure it will all work out in the end but the aggravation to save almost $600 is worth it.
