Ad Fee Theft
Why is it that in 2025 I would be hit for ad fees 30-40% of the time, and now in 2026 it is 99.99% of the time. eBay is nickle and diming.

Mentor8 months agoeBay changed the way that ad fees are charged.
Seller Announcement: Updates to eBay’s Promoted Li... - The eBay Community
An attributed sale will be when any buyer purchases the promoted item within 30 days of any click on the ad, regardless of whether the buyer themselves clicked on the ad. The item must be promoted at the time of click and the time of sale. The seller will be charged the ad rate at the time of sale.
It is not theft and you are not required to promote your listings.

OP8 months agoI get that I am not required to, but you know as well as I do that items won't sell if you don't.
It makes no sense to charge the fee if someone rather than the buyer clicked the link. It's just them finding a way to apply the fee to more sales.
