I can't understand why everytime Yahoo! has a glitch somewhere, so many people start discussing fees? Then, how much you are willing to pay, etc.? What would be logical, what wouldn't, etc.?
Why not just do your auctions and quit worrying about the fees? If they come, we will deal with them then. Why start talking about what you are willing to pay, and give them the idea we are all willing to pay, and how much?
Relax, take a breather, and let them make some sort of legitimate move, first, okay? No need to plant ideas into their heads, when the site needs so many changes, that are being ignored.
I hope you all have a safe, and Happy New Years celebration!

THANK YOU, CharlieOne!!! You couldn't have put it any better!
I, too, have been in the dark pondering why in the world anybody would ask for MORE fees. I'm being fee'd to death on eBay as it is. And, yes, fees are a part of doing business but when your items aren't selling, then fees start chipping away at your bottom line. (Now, I didn't say that to get a lesson as to why my items aren't selling - just making a point about fees!) If it wasn't for the good Christmas season on Yahoo, I don't know what I'd have done.
For the record, I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY FEES TO LIST ON YAHOO - there are much more serious matters that they need to deal with like learning how to LISTEN to the voices of their community.
Anyway, a prosperous New Year to you and to everyone who happens by!!!

I have almost 200 auctions currently listed on Yahoo! Auctions alone. They all will end tomorrow evening, and so will my listing items on Yahoo! Auctions. Even though I could relist them prior to the 10th, I will not. I realize not everyone has the ability to walk away from a site that ignores our pleas, or fails to correct problems, that are impacting our sales. But I'm out of there. I will list on the other free sites and maybe help them to improve traffic to their sites.
I know it is not easy, but if you are able to do so. The best message you can send to Yahoo! Auctions, for their lack of respect for our suggestions, (while at the same time putting fees on us), is to close down all of your auctions when they expire. If a massive number of sellers withdraw and go elsewhere, the impact on Yahoo! Auctions will surely show them the error of their ways. If it doesn't, I feel, they will get what they deserve. Just watch their stock then.
