It was added a few weeks ago and i did not read anyone anywhere talking about it or any news from eBay. It's pretty much blindly giving more money to eBay to be the most promoted. I tested it on some listings past weeks without checking how much it affect my sales or how much i pay. Today i did a $52.40 sale. I checked. My transaction fees were $6.26. Then i look at my promoted listed fee, it added $4.92 fee. The promoted listing was 'only' around 8%, sometimes it goes up as high as 12-14%. I have the top rated discount, i have the store discount, i'm logged in for the 9.5% trading card FvF promo. And my total fees were $11.18 on a $52.40 order. So, my eBay fees were over 20%! Imagine how high it could be without the top rated, store privileges, promo, and potential higher suggested rate. This is totally insane. Just wanted to aware people to be careful with this feature. I may remove it from everything at this point. I think it could be good to boost a multi quantity new listing, then quickly remove it after a few sales. But we can easily gets ripped off without noticing if you let it run, that's a dangerous feature. Anyone experienced it?
