The only reasonable battle plan seems to me would be to re-establish your sales with eBay while exploring new worlds..er..auction sites. If you are a serious dealer, you need to anchor your revenue somewhere and work out from there. We've lost our free ride at Yahoo.
Some folks think dealers will stay because Yahoo's fees are lower, but ANY posting fee would be cause to leave Yahoo. If forced to pay to post, dealers MUST go where the buying crowds are to justify the expense of paying a posting fee.
When things are FREE, we can afford to post on the less seccessful sites (like Yahoo) or the new auction sites, because we are not risking much when we see large numbers of our postings close with no bids.
But when the chips are down, and we have to pay to post, we have to take our business to the buying masses, which are not at Yahoo.
