I suspect EBay is increasing fees | Selling

In lieu of lost revenue due to trumps tariffs I suspect eBay might be trying to make it up on their end by practically making it so if you use promoted listings starting in January that each sale will essentially be mandatory for the fee whether the buyer clicked the ad or not and also pushing the triple the cost EIS program to take in higher shipping fees for the same item as before.Both seem like a cash grab to me in an effort to save some of their losses from trump’s shenanigans causing less sales so why not just take more seller fees and shipping fees per sale to make up for it.Obviously I could be totally wrong but that’s how it feels to me as a seller who relies on eBay income.Thoughts / opinions?I opted out of EIS and promoted listings because I don’t see why selling and shipping costs should fly to the moon when we are getting bombarded by trumps trade war, Canada posts constant protests and the overall less than ideal economy right now. It’s honestly a shame eBay isn’t doing more to help sellers right now.
