Confusion between promoted listings cost | Selling

The language they use is no doubt meant to be confusing. I tried out the promoted listing fees at suggested rates of 10%/12%, but have seen no sales. I see one "campaign" has racked up $540 in ad costs. What if I cancel those listings, am I on the hook for $540? Am I charged nothing additional unless the item sells? I get the "daily ad spend" of $1-$3 may literally cost you cash every single day, of which you can at some point end up paying more in adds then you'll ever make selling the item in the end. But what about the % based campaign? If you list it at 10%, and eBay automatically has already "spent" 10% of the final value fee in adds, does the campaign stop, or do they keep running it at no cost? I don't get it.
