Don't fall into the Promoted Listings trap.
eBay has set up a dirty trap for all sellers, it's called "Promoted Listings". Once a seller opts in, there is almost no way out
You may see a pump in sales when you turn this devil on, but if you dare think about going back you sales will be cut dead
So you may say then what's the solution? I need sales and the top 5 spots are reserved for those who double-pay... The solution is very simple, operate your account as if the whole thing doesn't exist, you will still get a share of the cake. As a matter of fact your sales will only be slashed by a maximum of 30% compared to what they were before this whole nonsense.
The more sellers are willing to pay the mob-fee, the more intrusion and thuggish behavior they will invite down the road.
Sadly enough our governments are not functional, otherwise eBay and Amazon would be handed hefty fines for this anti-competitive and mafiosi conduct.
Promoted Listings = +30% Final Value Fee
