Sponsored Listing Question

[rdjsystemservices]

I would like to start this by saying that it is NOT a complaint thread. I am genuinely looking for help only.

Thank you kindly in advance.

My issue: I have set most of my listings to be sponsored several weeks back. Today I am searching for my items and even though they are sponsored they are appearing at the bottom of searches. However IF it sells ebay is still charging me extra for the sponsored listing even though it isn't really sponsored if it just appears at the bottom with the rest of the normal listings. So I'm a little confused. Is anyone else seeing this? How can I correct this?

As an example listing you can search for : Playmobil 4240

My listing in question is the one with the title: 

Playmobil 4240 Egyptians Pyramid - Missing 1 tiny part w/ Game CD & Manual

This item appears pretty much at the end of the search results way at the bottom. There are only four others lower than mine. It still says "Sponsored" on it but I am failing to see how it is sponsored way down at the bottom below items that are not sponsored. And if it sells, since it is the only one listed, ebay will still charge me the extra fees for a sponsored listing. Is this a glitch that is occurring or is there another issue at play that I should know about?

Again any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty easy actually. Here is an example.

Dhbookds, Id like to sell you this chevy truck with a v8 engine. It gets 25 miles to the gallon.

Weeks/months later I take out your v8 engine and replace it with a v6 and when asked I say "well you werent getting 25 miles to the gallon were ya smart guy?"

Once you promoted your listings and expected a 2nd listing and then it got changed, warned or not if you want to call some fine print in an update nobody read a warning, and then the 2nd listing got pulled but you continued paying the promoted rate with only a generic listing............well that is called bait and switch. Its shady and dishonest.

LIE= something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture:

If im told that im paying for the extra exposure that a 2nd listing will bring to increase sales and then that 2nd listing is taken away then either I was deceived that I would get a 2nd listing............or that more sales would come from a 2nd listing.

Think about this logically for a moment. If EBAY believed more sales would come from a 2nd listing and they are in the business to create sales and final value fees then wouldnt they leave the 2nd listing there? Well they didnt leave it there because it wasnt creating more sales. So saying it did was .......there you have it...........a untruth.......something intended to convey a false impression.

Its not rocket science. Fix search so that people feel you have to pay more fees in order to get a sale. Since sales arent increasing they had to find a way to make more profit off each sale as the expense of anyone not willing to pay the highest fees.
