Hi there. I have been selling on ebay for quite awhile, with success. I am though, at this point, going to also start posting auctions on Yahoo.
I am tired of all the fees on ebay.
Beginning in October, I am going to list some items. I am hoping I will have some success on Yahoo.
Can anyone give me any seller's tips before I start posting? I would really appeciate any advice.

That's what I gathered from the Yahoo posts. But at least I won't have to wait to get my fees refunded. That's a big hassle on ebay. I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thanks!

I have not had a single deadbeat on Yahoo, although I can understand why some do. Yahoo is better for fix priced items. All of my Yahoo auctions are fixed price. Because Yahoo does not have the volume, it takes longer to sell some things.

My experience has been that there are several categories that move faster than lightning on Yahoo. If you are fortunate enough to sell in those categories you will be ecstatic! If you "first bid wins" things & if you have the right merchandise & sell at reasonable prices it is possible to achieve a VERY fast turnover. Lots of us have listed, sold, received payment for, & shipped items in under 24 hours. I'm thinking that there will be lots of that going on over the upcoming holiday season! People like instant gratification!
