But even if I did, I think you have to take the tactic that if you really want something and are afraid that the seller will end his auction early that you send him an e-mail making him a good offer for the cards. That way (a) he knows his cards have value above the current bid, and (b) you become part of the consideration if he decides to end his auction early.
If ending auctions early is a part of the ebay process, it is best not to ignore it and hope it will go away, but instead strategically place yourself in the best position to acquire the cards.
