"Canadian Powersellers where are ya ??"
I am here. I understand the new program and have no problem with it. Basically, if Canadians want to compete in the USA, they will have to do on a level playing field based on their rules.
For many years, eBay.ca gave preferential treatment to Canadian sellers not available to American and other foreign sellers. That was unfair.
And life does go on. Sellers will adapt.

Mister Lister was a great name, I still refer to my partner by that name even though we never actually used the program.
For the "kids" Mister Lister was the original version of TurboLister.
I think that its time for us to stand up and to request ebay to comeback to their old system.
You mean the old system that "everybody" hated and "demanded" be changed?
Personally I'd like to go back to the really old system when you could leave any feedback you liked for anybody regardless if you had ever had any type of transaction or not.

"it will mostly have an impact on sales gained from featured listings"
????
There is nothing preventing you, as a Canadian, from achieving TRS status and using "featured" listings if you feel spending the money is worth it for you.
If your volume is too small to qualify, you may want to rethink "im still running under 4 different ids " and consolidate all that volume under one ID.

"I'm sure it's quite high for eBay.com, might even be more than half. "
Yes it is. While no stats are publicly available, each seller with an eBay store has access to which site buyers come from. Sellers using AdCommerce can also accurately measure viewers on eBay.ca vs eBay.com
There is no question in my mind that more Canadian buyers visit eBay.com and buy on eBay.com than eBay.ca.

One day, someone will show some stats on how many Canadian buyers buy from a Canadian seller on eBay.com versus eBay.ca
You can get these numbers yourself (at least your numbers) by looking at the traffic reports from you store. Use the Referring domain report.
For example mine show that 60% of the search that landed into my store came from eBay.com. 23% from eBay.ca and the rest from other eBay site, google and misc web site.
Now from my sales (book keeping) last month, 57% of my sales went to Canadians and 43% international (most USA). So basically, more than half of my sales are Canadian but only a quarter came from .ca. I know that not every hit in my store gives me a sell but I think the ratio is a good indicator.
