I listed 2 auctions on yahoo which were both posted 12/31/00. Both show end dates which end in the year 2000. Now is it just me, or did we go through this very same (un-necessary) scare exactly one year ago today?
One would think that these problems would have worked themselves out by now.

If you look closely at the auction pages, the year does not show. Just the month and day. Since you can't possibly go more than ten days, your auctions will close on the correct date. In the case of two auto resubs at ten days each, the same is true. They will close as listed. You would have to be able to list an item for a full year to affect the listing.

My auctionwatch auction manager shows the auctions ending in -359 days. You are correct that the Yahoo website does not show the year, but it appears that the code is showing up in AW.

The opening post comment was:

"I listed 2 auctions on yahoo which were both posted 12/31/00."

I was commenting about posting on Yahoo. I post directly on Yahoo's site. I do not post off of Yahoo to it, by any other means. My comments were not related to off auction submissions, from an outside source. I guess your guitar pick is going to be up there a looonnnggggg time.
