"No sale fee listings" are an insult to both buyers' and sellers' intellect. Buyer protection cost is automatically added to all UK sales and in reality it's larger proportion of the overall price than what the sale fees used to be in the old system for low value items.
I'm now putting my stock on sale via traditional auction house, as the new ebay has managed to drive buyers out. Ebay should revert to previous system asap, before all sellers with less expensive items will quit.

Perhaps they want private accounts with lots of low value items to quit.

I think eBay have been pretty clear that they want to get rid of a lot of the very low priced listings.
The CEO has said publicly that he wants ebay to become a place where people mostly buy and sell higher value, designer goods. Will it work for the business? I’m sure he knows better than I do, I’m the CEO of nothing.

Yes, I used to have customers who combined lots of low value items to one shipment and haven't had any since the "new ebay" launched.
