Yahoo Auctions Are Free!
Tuesday June 7, 2005
From Yahoo Auctions: "Yahoo! Auctions has changed its pricing to create a model that is free for all consumers listing items on our Auctions platform. We have eliminated all fees associated with Auctions listings, including listing fees and final value fees."
This certainly gives the edge to Yahoo for the sellers -- but what about the buyers? Will they come? Time will tell. Personally I check Yahoo auctions "when I think about it", but the selection in the categories I look for are usually lacking. It will be interesting if this changes.

This seems like an over reaction from Yahoo!. I think the volume of seller does benefit the buyers and the zero entree fee will draw in some garbage peddlers at the detriment of Yahoo. But maybe this price increase at eBay is designed to get rid of the garbage peddlers and reduce the number of buyers at eBay and Yahoo is just opening the door wider for them. One thing is for certain eBay does understand the game better than anyone and If eBay decides to change the game, everyone take notice even we at MightyBids keep our ear to the ground for the changes in the industry as we look for ways to increase the value of our auction for our customers as I’m sure all online auction operators are.
