It's possible that ebay have thought it through very well as all announced changes benefit them financially:
1. Buyer Protection Fee - total lie, just pocketing the money
2. Holding private sellers money for up to 14 days - earning interest/investing
3. Simple Delivery - once mandatory ebay will make money on every postage label for every item sold
4. Hiding listings - ebay are hiding sellers listings so they have to pay to make them visible via promotion etc.
