Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

I have been a buyer and occasional seller on ebay for about 10 years and last year started receiving notices from ebay that I could list 50 auction style items for free (pay when items sell). I started listing items and during the listing process, the items would show no charge or minimal charges (if I added extras) to my listing. But at the end of the month, I would get a whopping bill from ebay that included the full amount for the listing fees. Why is Ebay not required to notify sellers of the actual cost of the listings before the items are listed? They have a pretend 'free' cost on the listings page but then hit you with a huge invoice. Due to this deceptive ebay practice, I've paid almost more in listing fees than I've made from selling items on ebay. I've contacted Ebay on several occasions and was told that adjustments would be made in my account but none have ever been made. I was also asked if I read the fine print and said I thought I did. Ebay apparently uses the fine, fine print which nets them suckers like me.

Ebay should be forced to disclose the 'real' price of the listing before the item is approved for listing rather than the 'free' price that sellers like me are not going to get.
