On the run today, but yes - dropping again.
From memory ...

May 2000 ----------- 21500
Jan 10 2001--------- 68400
now ---------------- 3850

Just a thought about the numbers for '1st Bid Wins' auctions....
If the stated purpose of the listing fees was to eliminate the storefront mentality and encourage sellers to adopt more of an auction format (ie. low starting bids, no reserves), then couldn't we expect the number of results for 'bid wins' to drop to zero? And when this happens, for Yahoo! to deem it a good thing?

I track "bid wins" because I have for nearly a year now. I understand your premise but the count has dropped in proportion with everything else. VeryModern Space Junk
