My guess is that eBay and sellers would make more money that way. It would be easy to see prices consistently driven up. For that reason, that's why as a buyer I would hate it. I've gotten some good deals with gavelsnipe as well as paying attention and that would take a lot of the fun out of it.
Even though it would probably be more profitable, I'm not sure they'd go that route. When you see eBay do things like encouraging the Buy It Now function, I think they ultimately want to be more like an Amazon and work on more of a fixed price model utilizing large-volume sellers.
