Well Yahoo has left the building. I would like a vote of AW members that would like to list on to Bidville & Bidbay from AW. There can not be many people left listing on to Yahoo from AW.
I have been doing most of my listing on Bidville a little on bidbay. Put would like to be able to list from AW like I did with Yahoo (So I vote YES bring on the new top dogs Auction Watch Bidbay and Bidville.)

Bidville...TOP DOG??? Pleazzzz...Be grateful for what you have for free. If AuctionWatch had launching capabilities for ever rinky-dink auctionsite that came along, their software would constantly be changing, and someone (sellers) would have to pay for it. JMHO.

AW will be charging soon, and I for one would like to be able to list off auction watch on some of the free sites. Right now it's too time consuming. I don't care what they do with Yahoo, they can leave it. I've never sold there and didn't like it as a buyer. But maybe they could charge some of these sites for the priviledge of being included and be able to keep the costs down when they reach of point of having to charge for services.

It is funny I hear all this Yahoo has left the building etc. . . I am still selling on Yahoo. There are still buyers on Yahoo. I have been to these other places and I see a lot of items and very little if any action. I dont' have time to waste. I will let those auctions build up and when and if the buyers come I will go there to sell. I will follow the buyers not the sellers. Until then I will sell on E-bay, Yahoo, just started at half.com looks promising and my web sites. BTW the key word is selling not listing and I am selling on these sites. Actually now with so many gone it seems that my sales are picking up on Yahoo. Some may laugh at me but I am going to the bank today with a fist full or 2 of money orders and checks and that is what it is all about.
Actually I think it is sad and childish the way many reacted to the Yahoo fees after such a long free ride. I also think it was really childish to wish them ill. When you wish a company ill you wish ALL the people behind it ill, single mothers, fathers brothers etc. . . and that stuff believe it or not comes back on the person who wishes it. Yahoo will be fine in the long run. Even if the auction thing doesn't work for them they have a lot of other "things" they do on the net. The stock will rise in time etc. . . despite childish and selfish wishes of other people. If you don't like the way a business does business go on your merry way. Wish the best for them and for yourself.
Yahoo is not by a long shot left the building.
I know this isn't going to make me popular here but I am not here for that. Maybe if all the negative energy would have been postive energy something outstanding could have happened. Can't blame yahoo for needing to makes money or stop paying for all the space auctions take up.
Do I fault Yahoo for charging fees? No, not at all. Any service that was once free and begins charging seem to immediately become vilified by former non-paying clients. Look at the reaction given to any other service that decided to charge rather than go under.

No I am not happy with Yahoo. Yes I understand they need to make money but they were making money of the sellers and add's ect check their records. The thing I did not like was the 6 day notice they gave about the fee's and the way they treated the sellers no respect. They said they would never charge (Did not want to be money hungry like ebay.) But this is not about Yahoo anymore they have lost their number 2 spot Bidbay is number 2 now, and Bidville is coming on "get real". I no AW trys to take care of their people the customer services is great all I am wanting to see is if the support is there for AW to start listing from their site on to Bidbay or Bidville like they do Yahoo (Yahoo has lost about 90% of their listings) So drop Yahoo and bring up either bidbay or bidville so the majority I hope and am trying to find out can get back to work! (This is not a debate about Yahoo Just wanting a vote yes or no.)

What the heck does this have to do with eBay? Would you please take this to either the Yahoo for the Other Auctions forums.
Thanks
Greg
P.S. I am getting really tired of the BidBay stuff under the eBay forum. I have no intrest in BidBay, which is why I am on the eBay forum.
