Private sellers have no need for multi buy,
they are getting rid their own unwanted items.

It may be that eBay have spotted that you're a business seller trading on a private account and have removed this feature already - no private seller has identical multiples of packets of seeds.
A private seller is one who is just selling off their own personal items such as clothes from their wardrobe, bits from their loft/garage etc.
A Business seller is someone who buys or makes items to sell on. They need to be registered as a business to meet the requirements of UK law. They need to declare income to HMRC once they reach £1,000 worth of sales (eBay will be providing HMRC with your details anyway so it's vital to keep correct accounts for your tax return). You can obviously offset more expenses as a business seller, but can't offset any at all as a private one.
Plus, 75p + 4% will be added to each order if purchased from a private seller (not on items listed on a business account).
To correctly register as a business seller simply go to your Personal Information in your account and to the right of Account Type, which will be showing as 'Individual' you'll see an Edit option.

This doesn't affect your feedback profile or any current listings, it merely upgrades your account so that you're compliant with current consumer and eBay policy.
If you're also selling your own items, just open another eBay account for those (you can have more than one).

This feature has been exclusive to business sellers since 20th January.
Maybe the idea is to encourage business sellers trading on private accounts to upgrade to a business account.
If you do so, the changes due to come in on 4th February will not affect you and you will be trading legally.

Register correctly as a business seller, then you could use It.
