Anyone else notice that on the Yahoo homepage, "Auctions" is no longer among the six icons on either side of the main logo? It's been replaced with "Calendar".

Maybe they've discovered that they're communistic mentality (see TOS) is casting a shadow over all of Yahoo, and they're getting out to avoid being sued for collecting payment 'in advance' for featured services they intend to turn right around and cancel moments later (with no refund of the balance remaining).

Personally, I believe they are deliberately driving out everyone except their Merchant & Premium Sellers. They can't defeat Ebay in the current arena, so I guess stepping on the rights of a few thousand people in the process is an acceptable risk if it speeds up the process.

Check out BidVille.com & eDeal.com (especially the message boards) if you want to know what Yahoo is really up to. Most of their victims end up there.

lovepotions,

I've gone through my favorite categories and found NOTHING of interest.

So, Yahoo!Auctions sellers, you'll get NO entries from me towards the "banner advertisment" contest which, incidentially, isn't worth squat.

CuFF,

I had to delete your post because links to auctions are not allowed per the Community Guidelines.

Sorry

Okay, sorry. How about a suggestion to search the word 'victimized' on ebay?

Thanks!

CuFF,

Post your letter here. They are your words and that shouldn't be a violation of AW TOS.
