Promoted listings do not have an up-front cost. They cost you additional final value fees on items that actually sell. It is on a "bidding" basis. The more you are willing to pay ebay upon a successful sale, the more they will promote your listing. You can specify a fixed percentage, or you can allow ebay to adjust your "bid" to remain competitive with other listings. For reference, in stamps, an additional 5% will get you promoted, but not in the top tier. The top tier, last time I used it was in the region of 15%. That is in addition to whatever final value fees that you would normally pay. However, it applies only when the buyer was actually introduced to the item through the promotional link, whether they buy immediately or later.
I find I get more sales on promoted listings than I do by putting things on sale at 15% discount.
The best way, in my experience, of getting sales is to watch your link "Eligible for sending offers". Those are people who have already seen your item or put it on a watch list. You can send them (anonymously, you can't determine who is getting the offer) a fixed dollar or percentage discount on a specific item. It works.

Nah! It's easy. Click on the "Promote" link. Select the items you are willing to pay ebay more to sell for you and enter the percentage you are willing to add. Try "Fixed 5% " if you don't want to compete and see if you sell more.
No harm if you don't sell more, and if sales increase you won't even notice the 5% extra fees on what actually sells via the promotion.
