As said, eBay's customers are their sellers. But if even more people leave than have in the recent few years, then more sellers might leave.
But you can still bid at the scheduled end of the auction the same way you always have with your "snipe", the only difference is that you won't watch the clock run out, instead you will get an email about payment, or you won't.

I don't understand why it would change what you would bid on a particular item that you are interested in.

I also have no interest in sitting on ebay all day or night, and I will still bid what I would have bid.
