Changes to Promoted Listings programme

I'm not sure I understand this, but it looks like pretty much every promoted listing will incur a fee when sold.

Turn promotions off. Turn them all off.

I have just spoken with seller support with regards to this and I would urge all sellers to contact ebay to log a complaint , apparently they are having a meeting regarding these changes this week  which are designed to get the maximum commissions out of us all with nothing to show in return , ebay's greed has now come to a point where it will no longer be viable to sell on this platform .

It's an idea but I think eBay has disabled the Search Engine. Attributing a sale to Promotion when that is not the reason it sold is just not truthful. Advertising is a "broad brush" and a wag once said "half of advertising spend is wasted but we don't know which half".  The sad irony is that High Street charity shops can sell items for prices we can only dream of on eBay: any hopeless tat is now labelled "vintage sold as seen £25" and sells in a charity shop! I don't understand it.
