The cost is a percentage of the final sale price, which you select when you set up your promoted listing. This can be anywhere from 1% to 20% of your final sale price.
You can actually control the fee amount by adjusting the percentage, typically eBay will start the percentage fee at 12%, you can then go in and adjust the percentage you want to pay and that will adjust where your listing appears in searches, of course 12% means that your listing will appear at the top of the page when somebody searches for your item or you can take that percentage all the way down to 5% if you want and a person would have to scroll through numerous listings in order to see yours, your fee is determined by the total of the sale and the percentage you agreed to pay eBay once the sale is complete if the person purchases your item based on finding it through your promoted listing, if they find it organically by scrolling through other items that you have for sale you do not pay anything in regards to promotion.
The options for promoting a listing are numerous, and the fee calculations can be complicated (or even unknown). So depending on exactly how you promote a listing, the fees can vary dramatically. Your fees could be nothing it the item does not sell. The fees could also theoretically exceed the amount of the sale.
It is easier for you to read the fee structure in the eBay informations pages that it is for someone to explain it to you.
lol, it’s not unknown at all, the fee that you pay for a promoted listing is the percentage that you choose to pay from the final sale, when you go to promote a listing, typically eBay will recommend 12% but you can adjust that all the way down to 5% if you want, and that will be the total fee you will pay from the total sale price, it’s not complicated at all.

@dr.vankmann5 Okay but you're just talking about General promotion. That is not the only type available, which is what Lucky was saying.
Can I get that, but the creator of the post was specifically asking about boosting or promoting your listing and there has literally only one way to do that and the cost is based on the percentage you choose to promote or boost your listing and that is what they were replying to, that’s why their response is wrong
