No matter if we gripe about fees, nothing we can do to stop this right? Someone has to pay for all those TV Advertisments Yahoo Auctions is the best deal now.

My Yahoo auctions have increased since alot of people have stop listing there. I think once the dust settles all of us will be selling on both platforms again. Auctions are still the best way to go no matter what, renting a store and selling your products will kill you.

I just checked Yahoo. 'Haven't been there for a while. I sell software, and Yahoo's categories are still filled with bootlegs. (Great if you want a "back-up" copy of Photoshop for $20.) Though to be fair, Yahoo is starting to crack down.
Less than 5% of the last-day auctions have any bids at all, and those that do are going for the minimum. Looks to me like I'd have more success pitching quarters in a fountain.
One interesting point though. I see a bunch of people are selling a knock-off version of a product I developed for eBay a while back. Nice.

Julesy, check out nobidding.com. I just listed one thing, to see how it goes. Its similar to BIN feature, but its free. It reminds me of yahoo when yahoo was free, but this one is no bidding at all. Maybe list things there that you want a set price for? Im trying it...and will see how it goes. (and no, Im not affiliated with the place. Just offering suggestions to folks I know...and dont know, lol).

It linkable from ebay, too, from my website to there. So, customers from one place will link to the other via webejamin. Time will tell, yes?
And if it doesnt work out, then all I have to do is dump the link.
