Not having much luck on Yahoo as compared to Ebay. I sell mostly handcrafted kitchen items. Is featured auctions the only way to go on Yahoo?

Featured's haven't helped me at all. 99% of everything I sell is also handcrafted, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
I am still selling, it is just the featured items that aren't selling. Weird.
That is the reason I couldn't afford to list with Yahoo! if they charged listing fees. I sell, but not enough.

I don't sell handcrafted stuff, but I have had very little luck with featuring auctions. I get more page views but the items still don't sell any faster.

Featuring helps boost my sales quite a bit- but I sell mostly manufactured toys, nothing handcrafted. The visibility helps my auctions because lots of sellers have the same stuff I do and most buyers will just buy it from the 1st auction they see that has a decent price.

I just use "featured" to attract attention to the bulk of my auctions, and put a link on the featured to the rest of my auctions - I don't see featuring per se sells an item at all. In fact we were selling like crazy Sept. through November and never used a feature.
