I have been selling for over 2 years. Just completed my accounts and during the last 2 months, I have earned a net profit of over $2000 on yahoo. Thanks to yahoo for that. But o'course yahoo did gain from my membership to its auctions... it got more members (as buyers). And now when it became big, it wants to twist my arm and get money. They comfortably forget that it was my loyalty to yahoo that made it *big*.
Also, they also forget that if I have the capability of making them grow, I also have the capability of bringing them down. I have planned to spend atleast 1% of my profits in the last one month to let the buyers of yahoo know about what yahoo does to its loyal members. I will post approx 200 auctions in the next one month (for $20) and the winner of my auction will be sent an email containing why I will NOT send them the product that they have won. I will blame yahoo and their policies as the cause of my misbehavior. Over a period of time, people will develop the much-needed lack of trust and hatred for yahoo and quit and move on to other auction sites. I have vowed to take down yahoo from their ivory tower !!
