Thanks for the numbers Rosalinda. Unfortunately, I posted 6 test auctions, bid for placement, got bids and no one paid. So I guess I'll be asking amazon for my money back.
And I don't think they can really afford that

what is telling for me is how much choice bidders have, which also says something about where sellers are listing and meeting with success.
listings in my category. postcards.
ebay: 92,282
yahoo: 10,779
amazon: 1,497
each one a rough order of magnitude less (or greater than) the other.
