i dont use yahoo auction,i find it hard to use and the format not auction appealing,same with amzn format.
may be i am too used to ebay format,others will find it different.
but yahoo categories are weird??
i dont really know if my items does not get bids because it is in the wrong category,no traffic or just priced too high ??
personally i think online auction may be a fad which is fading,as more and more items come online,there is no need to outbid anyone so where is this auction fever to drive up prices??
auction listing can be expensive for sellers both in time and money,i would rather have a store and do a good job managing it and wait for the buyers

I've been listing 4-5 items once a month and relisting it twice (so about $3/month in fees - no, I don't have any credits). Listed 5 yesterday afternoon. Woke up this morning to find one BINd for $15... Right there my profits have covered my fees for the original auctions, and relists... and maybe will get more sales.. less than 24 hours listed, and a sale - that's not bad...
I'll continue to traffic Yahoo but not in the volumes I do at Ebay, half.com or my storefront.

i looked at yahoo auction last nite and noticed similar items like mine get bids,where you list must be important on yahoo,unfortunately yahoo categories is difficult to fathom
