I'm desperately in need of an "Upgrade Ad" feature. I created 3 listing packages, free, $50 and $100 (just as an example) and I want my free listings to be able to upgrade.

Underneath my free Ad there is a link that says "Upgrade". When I click the link and follow the process though, it just takes me through a renewal process - it doesn't ask me to select a different package.

I am confused. Is this how it is supposed to work? Why is the word "Upgrade" used when no upgrade is actually taking place? What is upgrading to? Just an extended expiration or?

Also, I was looking at the code and the word "Upgrade" is hard-coded in - not a language variable. Don't know if I should stick that in the bug tracker or not.

The upgrade was designed to allow the user to renew the listing and add "extras" to the order. Such as bold, featured, highlighted, etc.

I can confirm it doesn't allow you to add extra features only to renew. I also think it is a very important feature to allow a user to upgrade their advert to either a new package or add featured/bold at any time. Can this be added as an urgent feature.
