5200 items listed
200+ bids
40+ buy-it-nows.
Which ain't bad at 5%, but there's still 8.5 days to go (14 days version).
I wish Yahoo would eliminate the listing fees and implement a more serious FVF. I could list a lot more, and Yahoo would get a bigger percentage. My items are low-value, but obviously, they count up in quantity.
It just depends on what you list. If all you put up was stuff that doesn't sell on eBay, well...

I have 162 listings-three bids. One is from a bidder with a -1 feedback. The bidder got the negative 6 months ago. Any suggestions about what to do about it? I could end the auction early.

How much do you expect the item to sell for?
Unless you are really concerned about the FVF, I would probably give the guy a chance.
But it also depends on the WORDING of that neg. If he's a nutcase or crook, then cancel hs bid and place him on your blacklist.

Most sellers ban bidders that have less than a zero feedback rating. Ebay allows them ( less than zero feedback users ) to bid away till they hit -4 or get suspended.

blairwitch I have 40 items running, I listed stuff that I thought should sell. I could have slammed a few hundred but after Yahoo killed my category I figured why waste too much time over there.

In regard to the bidder with the -1 rating bidding on my item. The item is at $16.00 at present. When I submit an auction to Yahoo, I leave the default of 0 for the minimum bidder rating. According to Yahoo anyone with a negative rating isn't supposed to be able to bid. Can anyone explain?
This is the bad feedback rating left for this bidder by the seller:
Sellers Beware!I answered buyers emails,her antivirus returns ALL my emails as undeliverable.NO reason for nasty feedback she left me.

Sometimes when you list on Yahoo the (0) default turns into a (-1) for some odd reason. Must be a glitch but every so often it happens. I usually check the rating box when I list to make sure the glitch didn't occur. I've caught it in time a few times.

At first glance, since it very well could have been a problem with his/her e-mail, that I would tend to give her a chance. A single feedback of -1 only means ONE problem, ever. People often mess up their first transaction or don't understand the process. I usually allow -1 bidders the opportunity.
But then you get to the part where the buyer left the seller bad feedback for not contacting her. She/He obviously understands THAT much of the process at least.
I'd dump her in a heartbeat after reading that. Being nice is a good thing, but not to someone who is LIKELY to cost you feedback.

Listed 178. 12 BIN's 6 with bids on items I consider slow moving to begin with. Not bad with 4 days to go yet. I figure most of the bids as in the past will come in the last 36 hours anyway.

Well I had 10 sell by bids and 3 sell off site because the buyers didn't want to give Yahoo thier credit card number to bid. So I guess it wasn't a total waste of time.
I can only guess what might have sold if Yahoo had not deleted my category.
