WHAT IS Ad Fee General FEE

[ebooksdiva]

It’s a promoted listing fee. Paid when you sell an item that you promoted. 

[wastingtime101]

It's a fee charged when your item sells through an advertised / sponsored placement. If you were charged that fee, then you chose to use the optional promoted listing service.

HI IT TOOK A EMAIL TO THE CEO OFFICE TO GET THE FEE TAKEN OFF AND CREDITED BACK. I HAD NO PROMATIONAL  SELECTED IT JUST SHOW UP ON ONE OF MY COINS I SOLD. AT 87 IT **bleep** ME OFF WHEN I GET OVER CHARGE FOR SOMETHING. BEING ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND WHAT INCOME I CAN GET ON SOME OF MY 50+ YEARS OF BUYING COINS AND THAT IS NOW SLOWING DOWN. 6.00 MIGHT NOT BE A BIG DEAL BUT TRY IT ON JUST SOCIAL SECURITY THANKS TO EVERY ONE WHO MADE A COMMENT

When you list an item, there is an on/off slider near the end where you can choose whether or not you want to promote your item. Make sure it is OFF if you don't want this.

When the new add policies are put into effect, I am just wondering how the add to appear at the top of search is really determined. 

If thousands of sellers are using a priority add strategy, there is still only one that would appear at the top.

So, basically all the sellers who are further down the results are being charged and NOT appearing at the top.

Seems like that would be a huge waste of money for 99.9% of sellers paying for that placement.

It seems to be just another way to charge sellers more without admitting they are just taking more fees for nothing. Just my opinion.

The listings that appear on top is the seller who is willing to pay more than everyone else. 
Promoted anything is more of a gimmick for eBay to make more$$.

I'm canceling all my promoted listings on Jan 13th... Recommend everyone else to do the same!
