The easiest answer, in my opinion, is to have forced log-ins at regular intervals, with listings removed if users don't show. I believe eBid has already gone some way to enforcing this, which is why we're seeing improvements in the number of absentee sellers. I don't think they've gone far enough, or been tough enough yet though.
