The fees are about encouraging people to change the way they sell more than anything else. If you list frequently on eBay, it's true that fees will be higher for some, but they'll be lower for others, and others still won't be affected much at all. You really need to look at all the changes - not just the increased FVF percentage - to see how you can still work the site to your best advantage.
To ozbarganz - look at the fee table for stores. If you've got 60k of camera equipment, look into opening a store. Even a Basic store with give you 80 free listings and mean you will only pay 6% FVF on your sales over $200 (items under $200 will be 9.5%). That is a pretty big break being given only to those selling Technical Accessories.
dotm - after May 1st, as a Power Seller, you'll be able to access 40 free listings per month. You currently have 57 listed and 93 completed in the last couple of weeks. I didn't check how many were unsold / relisted, but as you're a Power Seller, you'd currently be paying insertion fees on all listings - so at least around $75.
If you had a Featured store, you'd pay $50 a month and get 200 free listings. That's an immediate difference in fees, but you'd have to list as BIN and decide prices for yourself rather than auction.
If people are upset about the fee changes, I'm presuming it means they want to sell. If you want to keep selling, look at how you can continue to do so at the greatest advantage to yourself.
