mcelhinn001,
Excellent!
That must be what Yahoo!Auctions talked about in the Motley Fool-ED article.
Yahoo! won't confirm the totals but says its counts have indeed fallen. "There's been a drop-off," says spokesperson Nancy Gallinghouse. "We expected that. We knew it would eliminate the listings that were more like advertisements than true auctions. We expect more profit for the sellers now, because there's less stuff for the buyers to sort through."
I thought it would be fun to click through Neighborhood Watch on all of them, but then thought "what the heck, let Yahoo!Auctions straighten out their own mess."
Now I have a "Favorites" folder titled Yahoo!Scams.
LOL.

Kiss 168 "travel voucher" auctions bye-bye as of about 5 minutes ago.
And who is going to buy a 3 million dollar item off Yahoo from a (0) seller??????

"...there's less stuff for the buyers to wade through." What? The buyers could go over to Auxpal if they wanted less stuff to wade through. This is the first time I heard of companies competing by offerring less!
Plus, if they really wanted buyers to wade through less, they could have a better SEARCH that comes up with items that you want, and not wade through non-related items. Their SEARCH sucks!!
