So sad, as of last night everyone of my active listings now has an Ebay alert to update my Promoted Listings for more $$$. Ebay continues seek profits through higher seller fees vs new effective selling programs and finding buyers who have gravitated to other eCommerce platforms. 

Reported By: GreenEye

This may be useful to a seller that finds Promoted Listings a valuable tool, but for me, my preference would either be the option to disable this tab or completely remove.

I'm not clear what the problem is.

Greeneye is not required to use Promoted Listings.

If Greeneye does use PL, he can set the percentage wherever he likes.

Greeneye is not required to follow any suggestion that eBay makes.

With PL the seller only pays the additional fee if the item sells.

I am not sure if the sale has to be directly connected to the PL referral.

and finding buyers who have gravitated to other eCommerce platforms. 

It's been my understanding that PL is used on other platforms to bring buyers to eBay.  I'd be happy to be told I'm wrong.

I have  few dozen listings on PL, and have seen few views from the promotion and no sales from it in four months or so.

The promoted Listings Options shows on the ... Listings..... Page in Seller Hub.

A seller can click on ...Promoted Listings ...and then choose  which listings will be  .... Promoted'

Or....  a Seller can click .... None...

Saw this yesterday.. Friday February 15... Did some reading.... and then clicked   .... NONE

If sales are at a very good level.... Why does a seller need promoted listings?

I find the folks who complain about the existence of Promoted Listings have never used them and don't understand what they were created to do.

I've used Promoted Listings on several occasions for 30-day cycles. To date, I've yet to have an item sell or any of note additional traffic. To me, the tab is mainly a nuisance.

Just ignore the tab.  I don’t see it as a problem.

That massive blue promoted listings eligible button is very prominent. I found them distracting so I simply cleared the "none" radio button to hide them.  No big deal.
