Not certain, but weren't eBay and PayPal owned by the same people at one time and didn't they recently sell off PayPal? If so, maybe they are now short cash and tightening up the screws.
I have noticed there seems to be more flipping of items than in past years. Seen it a lot with military pocket watches that get sniped at the last second and within a week you see the new owner flogging it with a significant mark up.
