The amount of items listed on eBay these days is staggering, which is probably my problem.

I have tried the version that they take a percentage of the sale price. I have only tried it with a few items. I have sold several of those items with and without the promotion being on. It did bring more views but I don't believe it helped sell faster. I personally added the fee to the price so even though more people seen it the higher price slowed down the sale. So in my case it really didn't make any difference.
