I don't see that this is changing anything.

If you're that concerned about a buyer backing out, just set it to a sale, not an auction, with the requirement that the buyer actually pay before they win.

Or just set a 2-day limit for paying, and if they don't pay, relist. You can get a refund through ebay for the service fee for the non-buyer, and ebay counts it as a strike against them.

The more I think about this, this change looks and works better and better. Sellers simply don't evaluate buyers, buyers evaluate sellers. Ebay has functions in place to limit any loss from a bad buyer, other than a little inconvenience.
