I disagree. Yes it sucks to have to wait.....but consider this scam, if they did pay out in advance.
You have 2 friends give fake info to become bidders, they bid the item up to some insane price. The auction house pays out before their check comes. The bidders never pay. I know that's an unlikely scenerio, but possible.
