Pros: Easy to use (selling AND buying), great features, plenty of items, easy to navigate
Cons: as with all auction sites, you are never safe from the occasional 'bad seed'
Remember a few months back when the earthquake hit Taiwan and all of our memory prices went sky high? If you don't recall that. . . a few months back an earthquake hit Taiwan and all of our memory prices went sky high.
During this time I was...

Pros: easy to navigate. prices don't inflate quite as high as bigger auction places
Cons: needs more separation in categories and more sellers
I have been an active online auction shopper for a while now. Yahoo Auctions is where I got started and where I got hooked.
I have made quite a few purchases through Yahoo Auctions and have never had a bad experience. I believe that this is...

Pros: Some great deals can be found
Cons: Pales in comparison to eBay, so why should I stop at Yahoo! Auctions first?
Yahoo! Auctions is not a bad site, but it tries to be too much like eBay, and that's just not going to cut it these days. Yahoo! Auctions, like eBay, offers tons of categories, user ratings, a notification service that you can set to e-mail you when...

Pros: Free listing and other services
Cons: lower viewership
Granted, there are lots of things that are nice about Yahoo auctions - free listings being the best of them. But, I would much rather spend the $.25-$1.00 per listing on eBay for the type of response I get. I sell kids clothes on eBay, namely Gymboree...

Pros: free, provides more space for feedback
Cons: no insurance or escrow. limited stuff, E-Bay is better.
If you want to buy and sell stuff on the web...go to E-BAY!
I made the mistake of bidding on something (And winning) and I've
regretted completely. I had bid on a stereo component which
ended up costing me about $580.00 US including...

Pros: There aren't many bids
Cons: The prices start too high
The first time I did a search on Yahoo Auctions I thought my computer was crashing again. No bids for the first 100+ items, how can this be? So I did another search, and another, and yet another. I am not exaggerating when I say that I looked at five...

Pros: good prices, user friendly
Cons: too many crooks!
I thought I was getting a great deal. To be honest, I have to admit I was addicted to Yahoo! Auctions. After 40+ buys from Yahoo.com, Auctions, I have decided not to purchase items from them again.
I will tell you what I loved about Yahoo!...

Pros: easy to find items you want, free auctions
Cons: not as big as some other auction sites
Until recently I had been a die hard eBay fan, to me there just was no other auction site. Then feed up with eBay's site being down so much I stumbled into Yahoo Auctions one day. Let me tell you it is much better than I had expected.
First of...

Pros: less buyers= lower prices
Cons: sellers cancelling auctions= can't leave neg. feedback!
I have been a frequent buyer on both Yahoo! Auctions and Ebay. I have had almost exclusively good experiences on both. But I had one bad experience with a purchase made from Yahoo! Auctions that I think merits writing about. No, it's not just a...

Pros: No commission for sellers, less competition for buyers, easier interface for some
Cons: Too much to load making the site slow, not enough bidders for sellers, not enough sellers for bidders
Yahoo Auctions seem like a great auction site. The auctions are completely free for buyer and seller, and there's a handy "clock" that shows you how much time is left in the auction. Also, for people who use Yahoo for things like shopping and...

Pros: Nice Set up...free
Cons: Not enough traffic
I love Yahoo for their search engine, their chat rooms, and their boards, but they just can't compare to Ebay in their auctions. Now, I am not saying that their auctions are awful, just that they will never be great (and I will eat my words if I am...

Pros: Free, easy to use
Cons: Too many irresponsible bidders
I first stumbled across Yahoo auctions when an Nsync website I frequent, had a link to it, advertising some Nsync merchandise. And since then I've been hooked. In the beginning, I was mostly a buyer. Then I was a seller and I'm back to mostly buying....

Pros: listing fees cheaper than ebay
Cons: some bidders don't pay or don't leave feedback, less traffic than other auction sites
I registered with yahoo auctions because it was free. I had a whole bunch of books I wanted to try selling on the internet and I didn't like the fact that ebay charged so many fees to list items. So I decided to try yahoo auctions.
It has...

Pros: Good selection with occasional good deals
Cons: Can be habit forming
I sort of migrated to Yahoo auctions, after trying several others. My first foray into auctions was an attempt to find some cheaper computer components below retail cost. I first tried Ebay, but found that their average prices tended to run very close to...

Pros: Lots of extra's. Free listings.
Cons: Not as much traffic as eBay.
When I found Yahoo auctions I immediatly placed my first listing. The reputation of Yahoo combined with a listing price of FREE caused my hopes to go through the roof. Imagine my disappointment when my ten day auction ended with a grand total of 2 bids...
