For once, eBay implements something that might actually have the intended effect (deterring ending an auction early to take an offer off-site) without severely hampering all other selling.
The only reason I can see that anyone would be against this is if they are in the habit of ending listings early, which either means they are already pissing off prospective bidders, or are habitually clumsy with their listings. I might fall into the latter category on occasion, but if it keeps items that I'm watching from suddently becoming unavailable, I'll take my occasional lump for the greater good.
