I'm not doing to well on eBay so I've decided to list in Yahoo. Does Yahoo have final value fees? I know they have listing fees, I found that info. Thank you for any help.

This may sound very odd but we are all hoping and praying that Yahoo starts FVFs soon. Of course we are hoping and praying that they drop their listing fees too.

No they do not. But they did run a survey a few weeks ago and allowed for your comments. I am sure some sellers announced their displeasure with the listing fees. Many Yahoo sellers apparently would prefer to have ONLY a FVF and not a listing fee, 'cause it can takes a few rounds to move some things on Yahoo. Not always of course. I've been told it all depends on what you sell. I must not sell anything very popular on Yahoo because I am definitely one of those "one more time around" sellers!
Yahoo sent out a follow-up email first of this week that said they are planning on reveiwing their current fee structure.
Just hope they don't lower the listing fees (to appease those who think there should be NONE) and ADD a FVF (for those who think that would be better)
There does seem to be lots of new users. Just don't seem to be any snipers and they don't seem to gang up on any ONE auction!

I do highly reccommend reading the yahoo board!
I will be lising auctions on yahoo through the holidays. Contrary to popular opinion, there ARE customers there. I listed 3 auctions that closed 9/12/01. All 3 sold, and I got paid by all 3 bidders. I was happy with the ending prices (they all paid my buy price!) Sure, I would love to see a FVF only with no list fees- I'd list a lot more there (like I used to!) but they are a good alternative to ebay, especially in times like these...
