Yahoo has desided since all you fine people have taken the time and trouble to list on there site, they need to get some money out of it! Interesting way of doing things but one problem (THEY HAVE NO BUYERS "DUMMIES"!!! I have listed with Yahoo for some time and think it is bad when you list 70 items and are luckey to sell two do the math you lose money and that is not why I am their. So what I am doing is dropping YAHOO and selling my hot items on ebay that has some buyers and my slow moving items on BIDBAY (Till they start charging.) If things dont pickup on ebay or bidbay then I will sell out and get out of the auctions except to pickup some things I want when the other sellers go under and start almost giving their items away. As far as Yahoo go's you people on the chat lines and in the game rooms are next look in the not so far future to have to start paying monthly fees when Yahoo cant make what they want from their auctions their money hungry eyes will set on you. Between what you pay for the items and what the auction sites charge in fees and dont forget the charges if the customer buy the electric way paypal buydirect ect, and the server and the phone I no I am missing some but you get the idea you loss money and time. I could go on and on but will stop here. I feel better tell me what you think maby it will help you feel better LOL.

I think you stated it well. And writing it out and having others read it helps to relieve that stress. It doesn't make sense to sell on Yahoo. Yet there are a few who would have us to believe that it does. And I think you are right about the email, etc. If they can't make up the extra $$$$$ at the auction site they will have to look for other means of generating money. I have moved to a new site, am doing better on it than I ever did on Yahoo and quite happy with the whole thing. I wish everyone else the same!!!! I would hate to think of the auctions fading out. I just love the goodies way to much!!!!!
