Like it or not, most of their changes, which are interpreted as a pain in the butt for sellers & buyers, have been done in order to reduce fraud, theft and inaccurate descriptions of merchandise. One thing I can think of is overuse of the term "mint" - they flag that and make you re-assess. As a watch enthusiast, I like that. I've bought a few watches over the years listed as mint that were anything but.
eBay has tried to become a competitor with Amazon, but they have backed off that a bit, I think. eBay remains the place where you can sell your vintage concert t-shirts and used DVDs with impunity. If they do away with the feedback function, they will perish. That one concept alone has become ubiquitous with online buying, thanks to them. I can't remember a feedback option before eBay.
They have raised their fees a lot. Expect more of that until they have a legitimate competitor. And then, they will both raise their fees at the same time...until eBay buys the site.
