Pros: Low bidder traffic
Cons: Low seller traffic
I found this auction totally by accident while I was searching for My Little Ponies. It seemed o.k. at first. I didn't want to judge it to quickly. The prices I found were stagering. Some of the same ponies that I've seen on ebay were 2 or 3 times the...

Pros: sorting, free listing, less hoaxes
Cons: more "pay to surf the web posts",
I have used both eBay & Yahoo for buying and selling products, and I personally feel that Yahoo is a much better service. First off, if you have a Yahoo account, you can use the Auction without re-registering. (I find this easy to check my auction...

Pros: user friendly
Cons: must pay now
The free ride of yahoo auctions is ending this month, Jan. 2001. Now you must pay for you auctions listings from .25 to 2.25 depending on your item. So with this new policy yahoo will fall to ebay! I used yahoo to sell for one reason only, no listing...

Pros: Free
Cons: entering multiple items can take a while
A few years ago, in search of those very hard to find Beanie Babies Bears, I came across Yahoo! Auctions. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone want to try to buy these things site unseen?"
That same day I went to about 10...

Pros: good service
Cons: can be unproductive
This a nice service, especially for those that love to use Yahoo. But they will never reach eBay status. The traffic and clients are a little more jumpy and less plentiful. I personally don't buy from auction, but tried to sell a few things. It often...

Pros: easy, free and fun
Cons: none
I began selling on Yahoo Auctions over a year ago. I'm an artist/craftsman and this is a wonderful way to get your work out there. For years I have been doing the craft fair circuit and it takes alot out of you, setting up booths, traveling, etc. This...

Pros: It seems to work
Cons: Not enough buyers
I know Yahoo tries to be Ebay, but there's one basic thing missing: you just don't get as many offers at Yahoo as you do at Ebay.
Also, for some reason, the people who use Yahoo seem to be less savvy sellers or buyers (less people offering to...

Pros: So easy to use, good content, free to sell
Cons: Content not as comprehensive as Ebay
This report is being written by a Uk resident, but I use yahoo, Ebay etc.
Yahoo has to be the best I have seen. It is well organised, much more so that Ebay, and is easier to use. The listings may not be so comprehensive, but this is a free...

Pros: FREE, easy upload of photos
Cons: Bogus bidders
I sell jewelry, antiques and a larger variety of items on online auctions. I used to sell
primarily on Ebay. I stumbled upon Yahoo auction quite by accident. I really didn’t
expect it to be any good, I mean after all it’s free ya know? Why...

Pros: cheaper prices
Cons: required credit cards and poor selection
During the summer, I discovered an easy way to make a little bit of money. I decided to post a few auctions on Yahoo. I was doing pretty well for a while, selling many of the items I placed up for bid. Then, one day, I tried to log into Yahoo Auctions....

Pros: you can sell multiple items in one auction unlike Amazon zShops
Cons: lower volume/selection, listing fee
Yahoo's biggest advantage is that its totally free when compared with the other two.
This was wiped out in Jan 2001 when they imposed a listing fee starting at over $0.25 - $2.
I don't mind paying for a successful auction but I do mind paying...

Pros: Easy Pocket Cash
Cons: Risky (at times)
I was introduced to YAHOO! Auctions about 4 months ago by a friend who started auctioning off some of her stuff. I was amazed at how simple it was to do so, and even more amazed at the amount of "pocket change" that seems to be rolling in.

Pros: none
Cons: little variety and selection
My wife and I used Yahoo auctions to try to find our children a double stroller because they're expensive and we figured we would get a better deal on an auction. We had heard about how people got great deals buying from auctions and how many people...

Pros: No fee charge
Cons: Lack of Security
Yahoo Auctions is fairly simple to use and offers services you would and would not expect from an auction site. “Anyone” can sign onto Yahoo and get an account as easy as 1-2-3. But there is a danger in that fast assumption of quick account. Say, some...

Pros: small scale, lower prices, no credit needed to sell
Cons: not a lot of content, not as safe as others
Yes, ebay has gotten so big that sometimes prices get too much. That is when I go and look on Yahoo! auctions. Yahoo! auctions have fewer listings so when you want something cheap, you should definitely compare prices on ebay vs Yahoo! Yahoo! does not...
