Adding an optional Subtitle listing upgrade to your listing can increase buyer interest by providing more descriptive information about your item. We encourage you to evaluate your listings to determine if the Subtitle listing upgrade is right for you.
Change to Promoted Listings Standard ad fee calculation methodology
From the 1st of June 2022, the Promoted Listings Standard ad fee calculation will change to align more closely with how eBay calculate final value fees. Specifically, the ad fee will be calculated in all markets based on the total amount of the sale for each attributed sale, using the same basis eBay use to calculate final value fees (including applicable taxes, shipping and other applicable fees described here). Currently, in certain markets including the US, the Promoted Listings Standard ad rate applies only to the final price of the item.

Here we go. As predicted. Ebay taking more off sellers to make up for the failure to achieve growth.
Hi sellers. We are removing Paypal to use our own payment method. For most sellers there will be savings on fees. That lasted long 🙂
