Damn, I missed that kink in the offer and the (alleged) human I spoke with never mentioned it either. What I quoted is the fee explanation that eBay posted on my fee breakdown page, which makes no mention of the penalty on store subscribers. What a weird way to reward loyalty...
Jeff, I had chats with three alleged humans and spoke with what I assume was a human on the phone. There's a lot more to the story than just the discount confusion, though. They froze my payout for the card before it cleared authentication (which I get), opened it for a nanosecond, then refroze all of my payouts (Interestingly, not the account itself, so I can still sell more things that they won't pay me for until whenever they feel like it) as soon as the card cleared authentication. They have not been able to give me any explanation as to why, specifically, what I did wrong to get my funds are frozen, other than selling a card under their promotion, or even an accurate time frame as to when the payout hold will be lifted. They have told me inconsistent stories, and vomited vague policy statements at me repeatedly until I give up trying to get an answer. I am publishing the full transcript of my comms with their customer (dis)service reps on the subject. Kafkaesque is the best way to describe it. With REA opening a selling platform at 5%, and presumably none of the rando stuff I've been dealing with, I don't think I will be listing more expensive cards on eBay any time soon.

I feel like eBay froze my payment the first time I sold something at the ~$10k level. This was in the olden days before the AG service, so I'm pretty sure they held my funds until the buyer got the piece. It was a little aggravating at the time, but I got my cash in the end.
While I can definitely see your point about corporate greed, I think there's also an element where they have to comply with know your customer rules and all that jazz, just to make sure they're not funding terrorists or money launderers. Not that you should be under suspicion, but that's the price of living in an otherwise free society - sometimes there are extra checks when the stakes are high. I guess you could always sell another high priced item and see if they jerk your chain again?
