SELLER'S BEWARE OF THE PROMOTED LISTINGS
A week ago I had several Ebay items set as 10% promotional listings, I subsequently cancelled all promotions on all listings, as I had no interest and no sales after promoting them at least a week at 10%.
Since cancelling ALL promotions on All my listings, I changed tack, to rather than pay Ebay 10% for a promoted listing, I reduced my item prices by 10%, and subsequently sold an item today.
I read my sales account on Ebay, and for some unbeknown reason to myself, it states, "Sold via Promoted listings" Now it appears for the sale of a $105 item plus $19 postage, Ebay have deducted AU $33.29 from a total $124, at that rate it appears they have paid no attention or consideration to the fact a week back I cancelled and rechecked each cancellation to be non promotional listings. So Ebay isn't it good enough that you be taking your regular fees, so much so that you now see fit to fleece us all the more for promotional listings that are no longer current?? What gives Ebay, not making enough cash, so much so that now its come to unscrupulous erroneous extraction of pseudo advertising costs that really make less than a hill of beans difference even when they are actually in place.

·3 years agoAnother frightening tactic they use more recently, is that when I enter 2% on the promotion rate, the site instantly resets it back to 9% or higher! ~ so if a seller does not notice and manually type in their choice TWICE, then the listing will be listed with ebay's "suggested" rate ~ which is exorbitantly high ~ in keeping with their longtime sneaky greed tactics. How can anyone trust a site that does these things? I've been selling since 2006 and have seen them program in things like this time and time again ~ tactics that are intentional, and by no means mistakes or glitches! It's deplorably dishonest. I was mad they even wanted 2% minimum instead of 1% ~ that is a lot! It's extortion.
