How to change basic subscription to premium subscription without termination fee?

I used to have a basic store subscription paying 21.95 per month (with 1 year plan) for 1k free listings. I need more listings so I would like to buy the next tier, 59.95 per month (with 1 year plan). I noticed that if you cancel before the last month the package I have, I would get a termination fee of 65.94, so if I just switch to the next tier, would I get a termination fee and if so, how to get it waived?

Will you get your money's worth in the monthly difference between $22 and $60?

At your store's current 25 cent insertion rate in the clothing category, it would appear you are already paying $100 per month above your subscription's free insertions, so it is probably worth it.

You can easily upgrade in the middle of your subscription without canceling or paying a penalty.

On your Manage subscription page, select Change subscription.

9. Changing your subscription

When upgrading your Stores subscription (i.e. changing your Stores subscription level to one with more benefits, or changing from a monthly subscription to a yearly subscription of the same subscription level):

Store subscription fees for your current subscription for the current billing cycle are prorated and the unused portion of your current Store subscription fee is credited back to you. Your upgraded Store subscription fee is also prorated for the current billing cycle and your upgraded subscription is treated as a new subscription.
Your ZIF (zero insertion fee) allotment from the subscription being canceled ends immediately. Any unused ZIFs from your previous subscription allotment donâ€™t roll over.
You receive your full allotment of ZIFs for the new upgraded subscription immediately. Each calendar month thereafter, you receive the applicable allotment of ZIFs.
Reduced final value fee rates that may be included with your Store subscription will be applied to all listings created, relisted or renewed on or after your Subscription Start Date. Listings created prior to the Subscription Start Date, or after your Store subscription is cancelled, will not be eligible for Store final value fee rates.
Your upgraded Subscription Start Date and renewal date is reset based on the date you change your subscription.
An early termination fee isnâ€™t charged if you upgrade your Stores subscription.

I pay $21.95 and I think it depends what and how you are listing items...I can list 8,000+ more with my plan right now plus auctions and the other thing I forgot what it was that I can list. I just don't have the time to list thousands of items for sale. You need to read how much more you can list.

Or maybe you are confused what plan you might actually have?

$59.95 sounds like a lot of money to me for a month...
