I think the only real solution is that, if the top bidder doesn't pay in time, e ceases to be the winner and the next highest-bidder wins (with a fairly stiff penalty to dissuade this sort of tactic). Of course that drags things out a fair amount.
To do this, you'd also have to allow bidding lower than the top bid so a high bid doesn't stop all the bidding. And possibly allow the withdrawing of bids.
