Is it me or has bidding activity slowed down in the last couple of days? It even looks like Featured Plus auctions are getting the same amount of hits as regular ones. I have been monitoring one competitor's auctions and he/she has 1 bid @ $9.99 with 1 day to go. Usually that seller has 10-13 bids @ $100+ with 1 day left.
Me thinks Yahoo! is having a big bang on eBay's business.

YaWHO? Is having a big bang on eBays business?!???!! Oh please, anyone who thinks that bidless, second rate auction site is taking any "bang" out of eBay is WAY OFF BASE. Personally my sales were a little slow last week, but this week is smoking! Folks I was at Yahoo for a year and a half and there is absolutely no comparison at all.

I believe in selling at the same place I buy. Considering I have never bought on Yahoo or anywhere else, this tells me ebay is the place to be! I looked at Yahoo maybe twice just in case I was missing out on buys-NOTHING was there. This was a slow week, but other weeks have been great That is the game we play, if you want consistency this is not the place to be.

>>"I looked at Yahoo maybe twice just in case I was missing out on buys-NOTHING was there."<<
You sure called that one right. When I do a search on Yahoo for an item I'm looking for I usually come up empty, or with maybe 1 or 2 items. When I search for the same items on eBay, I come up with several hundred. When I do find an item I am looking for on Yahoo, it usually has an unrealistic starting bid.
At this point, Yahoo is a waistland. Even their premium sellers aren't selling much.
