Promoted listings

I wanted to know if anyone else felt like this is a shameful thing for Ebay to do? We already give them enough money in fees as it is and now they are offering to place our items on the first pages IF we pay more fees! Our items should already be there if we are top rated sellers right? Mine aren't and I've been a top rated seller for years. Greed, pure and simple. So does this mean that if we don't pay extra to PROMOTE OUR ITEMS our sales will fall because others do pay the fee and so we have to to stay in the Ebay Game? Just wondering want others think.
