I can't think what that could be. We have a Q&A session with ebay staff between 2pm and 3pm today. Ask again on there. Here's the link to it:

If you go to Orders and then 'order details' you get a full breakdown of payments and costs.
Can you screenshot that in this thread?

Promoted general fee it says now

That fee is charged when you choose to promote your listing.

But I didn’t promote anything???

All items for sale have a large blue 'Promote Listing' button next to them. It looks as if you have clicked the button and then agreed to promote your item.
If you believe you didn't do so, you will have to speak to Ebay Customer Services again and convince them that you are not liable for the fee charged.
