I don't know how long it's been in effect, but I just discovered that Yahoo is allowing 13 images in auction listings now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can still only UPLOAD three onto Yahoo (which will all appear centered ABOVE your description, the first of which is the "thumbnail" for "show photos only" gallery viewing), but they're now allowing 10 ADDITIONAL hosted photo/image links within your "description" box on the submission page, which will be viewable on your listing along with uploaded photos. This is a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT for anyone with more than 3 photos per listing.
I also discovered that links to Yahoo/geocities-hosted photos/images now MUST use the "user name" address instead of the original "neighborhood" address issued by Yahoo/geocities, for those of you who were putting Yahoo/geocities-hosted photos or "Click here to see other photos" in your descriptions like I was.
The geocities home page URLs (addresses) were changed a few months ago to include the USER NAME rather than the "neighborhood" number you were assigned when you applied for a website, but BOTH VERSIONS were still linkable before. The "neighborhood" geocities address is no longer linkable. You should be aware of that if you have auctions running that contain "neighborhood" links in them.

Yahoo has also changed their software to allow UNLIMITED CAPITAL LETTERS and UNLIMITED PUNCTUATION MARKS in auction listing titles, as well as 13 photos per listing!!!!!!!
Now, if they'd just change the default listing order back to TIME ENDING, we'd all be
