    For me, this is eBay's greatest strength, and I can't see them stopping auctions because of the revenue from fees, surely it's better to have active listings generating revenue than thousands of 30-day BIN listings going unsold?
    I think you've missed how Ebay works, listings are about 50/50 auction/buy it now, the revenue from them is around 80/20 in favour of fixed price.
    That said Ebay won't be ending auctions any time soon it brings the punters in. As I said earlier the question is likely to just be them monitoring any changes in how their users use the site.
