I know what I'm about to say may shock some people, but
there are items on eBay other than baseball cards.
For example, take a car dealership that lists their pre-owned inventory on eBay. If a customer on the lot with cash in hand willing to pay the dealership's asking price on a vehicle that also happens to be listed on eBay at the same time, do you really think the dealership should turn away the customer with the cash in hand and hope that auction will bring what they're asking (and then hope the buyer is qualified to complete the deal)? And if they did end the auction early it would be unethical? Come on!
I could give many examples such as this from various eBay categories. My point is that you can't have it one way for some categories and another way for other categories.
