Was anyone else enrolled in EIS without notice? | Selling

I have just realized that I have been enrolled in eBay International Shipping without being notified. Not sure how long I have been enrolled, but last time I made listings I did not see the information in 'create a listing'. I see it today. I just looked and last made listings just over 3 weeks ago, so sometime between then and now.I looked back and can't find an email saying I have been enrolled. There is one from August 25 saying to watch for EIS. Got an odd email saying to 'Take Action To Avoid Restrictions On My Account' on September 10. Then privileges were restored on the 11th. I have no idea what that was about, nor does the person from eBay I spoke to. I was just told not to worry about it as restored.Maybe this is what has been going on. Ever since the end of the Nationwide strike, I have been very slow. I sold more during and previous the strike and more in the summer letting my listings dwindle. This is usually the busy time of year for what I sell. I have been trying to figure out why sales are so slow, and yes there can be a number of reason, many of which would apply at this time.When I first noticed the slow down, I looked through some other sellers FB. I know it wasn't just me as one in particular who had 8,500 listings, 3/4's of which are the same as I sell only had a half a page of feedback left for buyers (auto FB set on) in 8 days that said 'PAST MONTH'. I had sold more during those 8 days.Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a link? Are my items being shown overseas more instead of here? Has eBay been costing me very important money?I have opted out. Although it says something about not applying to listings that were already commited when enrolled, I do not know what that means, anyone? Are those the new listings I made today? Do I have to end and remake them? Please tell me it is not the 925 that were previously made.EIS does not apply for what I mainly sell. I remember seeing US listings with global shipping and could never understand why sellers used it as the shipping costs were 40.00 and up. And they can track to us for letter mail prices... Doesn't eBay get that they are likely losing money in some cases? I looked in to what the cost to ship to various locations on one of my listings, and I don't know why anyone would pay that for what I sell. Maybe it is just best these days to list on multiple marketplaces... Time to look in to it I suppose. Any suggestions?Edit: I am also wondering why my Expedited Light Costs are out to lunch when I make them? I also noticed this a few weeks ago on a listing I made and it started at $15.50ish and went up (this is shipped to myself :/), I switched to 'Free Shipping'. I am guessing there is a link there as still high like that when I made listings today.
