Because eBay is full of scammers and the one characteristic of tickets that renders a sale vulnerable to complete failure, is that they are time-bound.
If someone sold their tix 3-7 days before the gig on eBay and didn't get paid, by the time it was sorted out, it's highly unlikely that they'd successfully sell them again in time - not at the same price of the bogus sale anyway.
Cash in hand has to be better than the promise of payment (minus all the rip-off fees), particularly with an item that has finite value.
