Unless I missed it, I haven't seen anyone mention the most interesting Yahoo auction news I have seen this past week. According to London's Financial Times, Yahoo says the revenue they will realize from charging for auctions will only be about one-third of what they originally expected. The paper also says the listings have dropped to 200,000. Here is the link to the story.

Yes, and then there's this one reporting on the brokerage firm analyst that didn't even know the extent of the decline.
Now he says that income from "Fee-based services, particularly for online auctions, are lower-than-expected".
