I guarantee you that this is because sellers refused to sell to new buyers having been burned one too many times, essentially removing one of the last remaining ways to have any form of seller protection.
It isn't a hard stretch considering that this was their reasoning for removing negative feedback for buyers as the sole reason for that was "they stopped buying", not even considering that they may have been scammers that abandoned their accounts after having been called out then moved over to a new one, essentially making it easier to scam which is exactly what this will result in as well.

·1 year ago@theoldladysattic - you are preaching to the choir.
Many sellers are not happy and or pleased with the new message system.
I think eBay loves to fix things that are not broken AND pay their programmers by how many clicks that they can add.
