While I agree with Frank that it would be difficult to force a seller to have a card graded before he puts it on ebay, it would go a long way towards cleaning up one problem area. It's nice for everybody to become his own expert, but there are always beginners coming into the hobby and they could use the assistance of a third party. And if a beginner gets burned a few times he's going to leave the hobby as quickly as he came in.

Fact is, selling graded cards on ebay is actually a pretty sound idea.
