this is good information. Keep us posted on the decline over the next few days.

Also, the listing numbers are sure to decline more steeply during the "prime time".

One category in which I have a particular interest is the low-priced, but high-quality postcards. Now down to 18,114, but with some 100 due to expire in each of the next few hours.

Even more interesting, I've been tracking stamp auctions for the week, and the numbers are dropping fast, even with the re-listings. For example, here are the late afternoon numbers for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and today.


Stamps>Europe 12,362 12,326 12,318 11,309
St>Europe>Germany 2,463 2,508 2,523 2,273
St>Europe>UK 1,843 1834 1,854 1,573

In all three cases, and in many others I could cite, there was a big drop today. Does anyone else have coparable numbers for other auctions?

The early indication seems to be that for those auctions that have ended with no relisting, their sellers are saying a resounding NO! to paying Yahoo!Auctions a listing fee for an item that in all likelihood sit there with no bids for another week. Yahoo!Inc. has quite clearly demonstrated an inability to provide traffic.
