The insertion fees are not hidden fees, and are no different than the other fees that eBay charges (12.35% variable and $.30 fixed). All of the fees, including insertion fees, are clearly defined in eBay's fee policy.
As a managed payment seller without a store, your first 200 listings per month are free to list. Anything after this will be charged $.30 at the time it is listed or renewed. The exception to this is of course when eBay has promos, which it has had for quite some time now (currently 100k free). You can track how many free listings you've used in Seller Hub, as shown below. Promo lisitngs will be used first (shown in blue) and then your standard 200 (shown in red). Listigns that are new, deleted, renewed, or sold all count towards these limits. They are always 100% accurate and as soon as you go over, you will be charged $.30/listing.
You are correct in saying that you will need to keep track how many lisitngs you have made in each calendar month to ensure you don't go over (if you want to avoid insertion fees), especially if there is no promotion.
For example, if you have 400 active non-auction listings this month (August) and they all renew in September, you would be charged $.30 on 200 listings ($60 total) when they renew if there is no listing promotion for September. That's why it's important to always keep an eye on the number of active listings you have and when they renew. It's also a good idea to check for eBay promotions on the first of every month to see if you have free listings over your standard 200. Also keep in mind that your seller limits and zero insertion fee limits are not the same thing.
If you want to check how much eBay has charged you for insertion fees at any time, you can always view it in Seller Hub > Performance > Sales > Selling Costs > eBay Fees > Insertion Fees.
This is what open when i click on my number of free insertions used:
Very nice... In other terms this is hidden fees!?
I did read we have 250 free insertions somewhere, so as non store seller it's not worth going over 250 items? Insertions cost 0.50$ each over that, my fees are already at 17%, it would raise them to 20-25% it would be totally ridiculous
