How is it theft?
You pay the price on listing, nothing is added later.
Like a lot of companies, if you don't like the new policy you have option to close account.

no wise words, other than…”close your account”….
We can only explain it as it is. We're just other members like yourself.
The simple fact is that eBay has stopped charging fees for private sellers, and instead started to charge buyers for buyer protection when buying from them. Nobody likes the new charge, there have been endless complaints about it.
However, we all had the option to close our accounts when the user agreement was changed. As you didn't close it, you accepted the new charges so it isn't theft.
Other than closing your account, the only way you can avoid the charge is by buying from business sellers, when the charge won't apply. But keep in mind that eBay as private sellers now sell for free their prices can be lower than before.
