And you are calling this "hidden fees" because you never looked at your fee details before or read the policy on Promoted Listings and how the fees are calculated????
Promoted Listings Standard fees
You are only charged for Promoted Listings Standard when a buyer clicks on your promoted listing ad and purchases any of your promoted items within 30 days. (A click is when a buyer clicks-through to your item page from your ad, or clicks the Add to watchlist heart symbol on your ad.) This means you only pay when you sell.
The fee you are charged is based on the ad rate you set for each listing. An ad rate is the percentage of an item's total sale amount (including item price, shipping, taxes, and any other applicable fees).

Ebay doesn't "hide" any of its fees. They are clearly stated in the policy pages, the seller just needs to read them. It is after all our responsibility as sellers to know this stuff.
