Well that's answered how ebay will make money from private sales:

The Buyer Protection fee is applied to all listings* by UK-based private sellers. It’s not an optional fee, as we want everyone to be able to benefit from these new protections.

Most listings are sold by business sellers and will include Buyer Protection at no additional cost. When purchasing from UK-based private sellers on eBay.co.uk, buyers will pay a fee which is already included in the item price.

The Buyer Protection fee will be calculated as:

A flat fee of £0.75 per item, and
4% of the item price up to £300, and
2% of any portion of the item price from £300 to £4,000
There is also a cap on the total fee amount you’ll ever pay. Any portion of the item price over £4,000 will not incur any additional fee.

So ultimately still coming off the total meaning lower bids and the same position as before.

So if I sell something for £10, I get the full £10, but the buyer payed £10 + £0.75 + £0.40, so £11.15?

Also changing when you get paid to after "delivery confirmation".

Now, to give your buyers even more confidence when shopping, UK-based private sellers will be paid after item delivery, from 4 Feb. Your funds will be available in your eBay balance two days after delivery confirmation.***
