Does anybody have a problem like Yahoo warehouse. I just sold an item for $25 and they sent me an email stating they had deposited 99cents into my bank account and to wire the 99cents back to them. Huh? What's that about? All they have to do is send me an email asking me to return the email. What's with the 99cent s***?
And when I went to my bank account I didn't see 99 cents. I saw 14 cents and 21 cents.
Can someone please explain? I'm pulling my items from Yahoo Warehouse.

You must be brand new. They verify a checking account by depositing 2 small amounts like 14 cents and 31 cents. The real deposit will now come when you are verified. You can probably find all this info in the new member info on their site.

I saw the deposits, but according to their memo to me I'm supposed to return the money to them. How do I do that?
I verified the email. What else is there to do? i emailed them (can't call) and am waiting for a reply. I think it's a waste to deposit small amounts in an account, expect me to return the money, and then to verify the email receipt.

When I did it a year or two ago all I had to do was tell them the size of the 2 tiny deposits. No one knows that data except the owner of the checking account.

That's right. All you need do is verify the small deposits to activate your Yahoo account. I don't think they expect you to send the money back. They get it back in final value fees anyway.
