I decided to return Yahoo again, after Feebay's price increase. I have been delightfully surprised at my results. 90% sell thru, some BIN sales (these are FUN!). I sell mostly antiques and collectibles, while ebay is still the place for high-end, rare, and unique items, Yahoo is opening a new market for me in the $1.00 to $50.00 range. Hopefully this trend will continue. I enjoy the low fees and the most user friendly site out there.

I am doing well on yahoo as well. There are many new bidders on yahoo and none are deadbeats so far. I dont know why so many sellers are scared of yahoo. If all ebay sellers would just list 10 items the site would explode in growth, and it would cost them only fifty cents, the cost of a can of soda!

I move all of my unsuccessful eBay auctions to Yahoo and at 5 cents for 10 to 14 days they get a whole new audience.
The excellent sellers manager tools let you rotate your auctions and unlike ebay ebay the items/photos stay on Yahoo's servers for a long time.
I think the Yahoo tactic of promoting all 4 shopping areas at once in concert on Yahoo search engines may work. That may be one of the few ways they can compete against eBay in a wide area of shopping venues.

All I have to say is I am very happy I dumped Carnaby and Bidville went back to Yahoo.

Still impressed, closed 4 of 6 last night, not the 90% from earlier, but not bad. At .05 re-listing is no problem. The prices realized were what I would have expected on ebay. More profit from lower fees. Yahoo may be on the upturn.

Someone mentioned a 1.00 to 50.00 price point for yahoo auctions. I will refocus my product mix and see if that will generate sales. I have been on yahoo for 3 weeks and no sales, plenty of viwers but that doesnt pay the fees. I'm ready to bury Yahoo next to Amazon.
