Just to further the point, even if the sellers were to list double the following week, ebay would still feel it. Any transaction based business model is predicated on the normal flow of money. Disrupt that normal flow and the business will feel it. To put it into very simple terms; imagine your paycheck doesn't come this month but you'll get 2 next month. However, your mortgage and all your bills still need to be paid this month. See the problem?

Bottom line is, since an ending date was pre-determined, ebay isn't going to get incredibly nervous about this. However, it should shake them up a bit.
