Is it worth the time to list auctions on yahoo??
I list a ton of stuff on ebay, but I have not tried Yahoo or Amazon.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

If you list a ton of stuff on eBay, then it would be smart to use yahoo, and give all your ebay buyers the link to your yahoo goods. Since yahoo changed the stores it may be better to use a yahoo store instead of the auctions. Someone who uses the stores here can give you more details.

The last Yahoo FLD (Free Listing Day ) was 7/23/03 and the FLDs are about 90 days apart so you might want to wait a couple more weeks to cash in on the free listings.
I refuse to pay even the nickel listing fee at Yahoo as it is a total waste of time and money. There are almost no page hits there anymore as well.

As usual Auctiondunce is clueless. Yahoo changed the format a while back inwhich his crap no longer was welcome and the quality of items went way up at Yahoo. Along with his crap, the deadbeats went with as well. He hasn't been allowed to list there for some time now because of his complete trash he peddles.
No site will compare to ebay, but Yahoo is a very good site to sell some of you slower moving quality items. With the very low listing fees and even lower Final Fees, you will find it to be very much worth your time to keep items there. Don't quit using ebay, they are the king, but do add Yahoo. They are the clear cut queen. Don't waste your time with Amazon unless you have books.

As usual stonecold613 is babbling off with his personal attacks because his option is so weak and or worthless.
With Yahoo it all depends on what you sell. Throw $2.00 worth of listing fees out there and see if it's right for you.
Very few people praise about the success rate on Yahoo as you can well see by the number of threads on this board.

Just because you got your rear end booted for trying to sell fraudulant items you feel to the need to retaliate. You simply can't face the facts that items of real value do sell there. No one is stating it will be ebay like, but it is clearly when Yahoo started listing fees to rid their system of the crap auctions, then reduced those fees to allow the items of value to be listed and sold was very successful. And the best part is the listing fees rid the system of deadbeats like yourself.

LOL Stone, You are so clueless it's almost sad. Sorry stone but I've had the same selling name on Ebay, Yahoo, Bidway, Bidville and Epier, and as far as I know or care all my accounts are still open.
"then reduced those fees to allow the items of value to be listed and sold was very successful".
What dude your Crap, Junk and Clutter wasn't worth $.20 per listing.
Why is it that there are only a very few people or cyber twits like yourself who say Yahoo is better now then it was almost four years ago?
Just because your Junk, Crap and clutter still sells on Yahoo doesn't mean you have a license to bash anyone who says other wise about what they sell.
I recommend you taking some Prozac or seeking professional help, maybe your mom dropped you allot when you were a baby and you can't handle different points of views with out throwing a cyber timper tantrum.

Just because you can't sell your crap there anymore, you feel the need to bash and not accept reality. Maybe you and bids aka auctionloser should join forces in the I don't have a clue club.

Crowderscomics.
As you can see, everyone has an opinion on Yahoo auctions, and they are usually strong ones.
I assume from your name you sell comics. Give it a shot- it's doesn't cost much and who knows what you results could be?
There are many successful comic sellers over there, especially with the cheaper titles that aren't worth listing on eBay. If you have high-end titles, stick with eBay.
Check out these two guys on Yahoo:
shuyam2000
robcooke
They both list a bunch and see to have excellent sell-throughs. They do start their books out low, so be sure you can compete before jumping in.
Many sellers here would call $1.00 comics and cards "junk." Just ignore them. You have a business to run just like them. Of course if you list the same stuff week after week without sales, you may want to rethink that.

Posting and Ace,
In this case you are completely wrong. Stone is correct. Yahoo has improved greatly since the implementation of listing fees. Back before listing fees, the STR was vertually the same as it is now. On average about 10%. The biggest difference is the deadbeat rate then was around 50% and now it is less than 2%. Bottom line is Yahoo has become a vibrant place to sell items without the clutter of non-value items like low grade sports cards, recipes and school year books. Ebay is still the place to be, but for a very good supplement, Yahoo is a great additional auction site.

The best way to tell if Yahoo is for you is to list a few things and note any sells and page views. Personally I find Yahoo to be a complete ghost town at this time but some things may still do well there.
I still believe that if Yahoo promised TV ads about the Yahoo Auctions and had a new fee schedule that had free listings and a higher than ebay FVF that Yahoo could still rival ebay in listing numbers and sell through rates. The hardest part of selling at ebay is the high insertion fees on items that do not sell.

Many people try yahoo a few times and give up, but you cant do it if you want to succeed. When we were pounding out items on yahoo we researched the best sellers, and best categories. Use ebay as a selling tool for yahoo and you will do fine. I used to think they should bring back a FVF only format, but maybe all they really need is some advertisments.

I love Yahoo. Thanks to the complete lack of bidders I can purchase a plethora of items with nary single competing bid and the nresell it for twice as much on ebay. Of course you could not pay me to sell there.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Before fees, my STR was approx = 50% -- of course, it may have taken 4 or 5 relists to sell, but sell they did!
After fees, my STR on BooHoo dropped to 0% -- pretty hard for me to be enthusiastic about BooHoo now!

Now that's a crock of sh--. Yahoo has never has a 50% sell through rate. And no reasonable person would ever claim that. Before listing fees, the STR was around 10%, but the deadbeat rate we nearly 50%. Since listing fees, the STR is still at about 10%, but the major difference is the deadbeat rate is less than 1%. With the listing fees, it drove the junk commons sports card, recipe, and how to get free Microsoft software auctions from the system and sent them to bidville. And the best part is it took the deadbeats with them.

I agree with stonecold. Stuff is moving at yahoo. Common junk is a waste of time to list.....that can be easily found on ebay.

Stonedmold: Sorry, but yer talking out of yer georgebush!
Before fees, my STR on BOOhoo was 50% & I used to come here & rave&rave about how wonderful BooHoo was.
Now, my STR on BOOHOO is 0%, even when I list sure winners -- items that sell on feeBay 99% of the time for me at 200% profit & I can't give them away on BooHoo!
So, for me, BOOHOO fees destroyed BooHoo for me.
Why waste moola listing on BooHoo when I can practically guarantee a sell on feeBay??
For that matter, BooHoo FLDs are a waste of TIME, if not moola

I have the same results as TommyBoy. If others have any measure of Yahoo success then it must be category dependent. I can imagine that a few categories still do well. Perhaps sportscards for instance, since the 30 cents insertion fee at ebay limits the types of cards that can be sold there.

From my experience the best sellers are "hobby and entertainment" Video games, dvd's, sport collectables, etc. I find more rare NES games on yahoo than ebay. It all depends on what you sell.

How about the common NES games?
I have a bunch that most likely aren't worth listing on eBay, but I wouldn't getting rid of them, even for cheap.

They seem to do well. Type NES into the search, and hit "show closed items". You will get a good idea how they are selling.
