I dont mind a final value fee IF Yahoo will REFUND the Final Value Fee if the bidder doesn't pay, as yahoo has a high rate of DEADBEATS! Last year alone, only like 40% paid, and others were deabeats, so if they can guarantee that I will be REFUNDED IF the bidder becomes a DEADBEAT I am all for Final value fee.

I have almost 200 auctions currently listed on Yahoo! Auctions alone. They all will end tomorrow evening, and so will my listing items on Yahoo! Auctions. Even though I could relist them prior to the 10th, I will not. I realize not everyone has the ability to walk away from a site that ignores our pleas, or fails to correct problems, that are impacting our sales. But I'm out of there. I will list on the other free sites and maybe help them to improve traffic to their sites.
I know it is not easy, but if you are able to do so. The best message you can send to Yahoo! Auctions, for their lack of respect for our suggestions, (while at the same time putting fees on us), is to close down all of your auctions when they expire. If a massive number of sellers withdraw and go elsewhere, the impact on Yahoo! Auctions will surely show them the error of their ways. If it doesn't, I feel, they will get what they deserve. Just watch their stock then.

I sent my message. That I would leave Yahoo since in it's current condition, it would no longer be economically practical for me to list there. Everyone let them know that! It probably won't make any difference, but at least we'll make ourselves heard!

I dont mind fees if you get something for them. But Y! is run by Hal the robot. No one is reading your feedback to them anyway.

Arghh! Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water
Send your thoughts to the addy posted by ilene anyway. You may not get a response, but your opinion should still be expressed before Yahoo flames out and goes to the land of Gold's and ExpressPay ... at least they will know why a good thing stopped working.

Don't bother. Accept the fact that it's over. No amount of bitching and moaning will change anything. Been there, done that when Amazon pulled this stunt.
