Well, I thought that I should try again, but NO MORE. The second FLD, with hundreds of listings, and ZERO sales, is the final straw. This camel ain't going to get 'humped' no more!

I think a lot of sellers will do the same thing you're going to do ... give up on Yahoo. Auction Bytes publishing the listing numbers before and after the Yahoo FLDS so it will be interesting to see those figures on this last FLD and the next one.
I still think a good move for Yahoo would be to make all listings free as long as the seller offered Yahoo PayDirect on every auction.

I gave up on Boohoo a long time ago!
Every time I tried to list, there was something wrong with my wallet.
A real PITA.
But they never had trouble taking their fees from my wallet!!
I was paying them to aggravate me and selling nothing, and if it did sell it was to a deadbeat!!!

PERFECT SCORE this time around with FLD at Boohoo....
Eine perfecto: 0.00000000000000000% STR!
Why waste the $0.00 I spent there??

The only way to change things at yahoo is to quit listing anything there. Everytime the listings drop they have a FLD. Sellers need to stop listing items and demand another fee setup.

Haven't listed anything in a year!
I see no change.
we need you & stonecold13 to quit being their RA-RA team.
You tell us to quit but you two are rolling in the money off your sales there!
How can newbies resist?

We do very well at yahoo, but this is our off season. We have nothing on ebay either. We usually run auctions September-April, and we do all our buying this time of year. I got items so cheap off ebay this summer it should be a crime.....great buyers market.

(We do very well at yahoo, but this is our off season.):
No doubt about it you two are the top sellers on BooHoo!
Should we take it then, that you and Stonecold13 are one and the same?
I've already pinned him as (austbounty)
Who has nothing to say except. blah,blah,blah,!
Would you care to add to this?
Or is this your off season?

I'm not really sure what to think.
I had a really poor sell-through percentage (33 sales/8000 listings=Under 1%) which is pitiful and sad. It's too early to count my NPB's, but there will certainly be a few.
Actually, these numbers are VERY nearly the same as on the previous FLD!
However, those 33 sales were still a couple of hundred dollars worth of sales that I wouldn't have made otherwise.
I would have to say it's still worthwhile to list for FREE, but there is no way I'd pay for the honor of listing at Yahoo with these results.

Free is good. Even the nickel a listing is too much when you list 300 listings at once.
My enjoyment of the Vendio boards increased immensely when I put StoneCold and a few others on my automatic ignore list.

My advise for you is to grow up. No wonder you do so poor.
Glad you had some sales replaymedia!

Don't feel bad. There are a number of posters that are convinced that I'm DimView.

Well, I'm not doing auctions w/ Yahoo, used to be in the "free" store, which I thought was a good idea. Obviously, they didn't but I'm sure they did better with the free listings than they're doing w/auctions.

I must be the third best seller on Yahoo then. I did very well even with the fact that I generally don't list many top quality items on Yahoo. I listed 175 items and sold 25. My guess is the items you are listing are crappier than the items I listed. For the price, Yahoo is much better than any third tier site.

We're they sportscards? It's easy to sell a lot of sportscards if you combine shipping. If Yahoo Auctions ceased operations tomorrow there's be about 4 sad people in the world, that's it.

Nope. No crappy sports cards here. They are just as bad as those recipe and how to sell anything on ebay CD auctions. Yahoo did us a favor when they rid the site of those worthless garb. The listing amounts are less than a couple of years ago, but the quality has gone up. The bid rates are decent and deadbeats are nearly non-existant.
