I found this from 2013 on the interwebs :

"Auction site eBay isn't really much of an auction site anymore. This month, a study from the National Bureau of Economic Research reveals that less than 15 percent of all eBay listings are auction-only. Today, the majority of sales are made with eBay's "Buy It Now" option -- that is, buying it for a listed price like one does on Amazon or any other e-commerce site. This is down from nearly 100 percent 10 years ago."
