As if they are actually going to listen to anybody or make any change in their plans because of it. :irollers5

I'll be dining with better company for lunch tomrrow, thankyouverymuch. :kitty4

[happy is here]

We need some non-net-cops to attend!

They're all net-cops on that thread with VIP eBay connections. :lol Non-net-cops get ignored on T & S, if you (in general) don't belong to the clique.
I'm a non-net-cop, but I wont waste my time attending a T & S brown bag lunch. There is no way that I give my time for free to a multi-million dollar business which uses the free unpaid helpers for their gain.

Yahoo Auctions Axes Listing Fees: Response to eBay Acquisition?
By Ina Steiner

Yahoo is making it free for sellers to list items on its auction platform. Rob Solomon, Vice President and General Manager of Yahoo Shopping, said free auction listings would benefit both buyers and sellers by generating more content of a higher quality and would provide diversification for sellers. Solomon said Yahoo Shopping currently has 50 million product offerings with 250,000 sellers with shopping-enabled sites (including those of key partners).

However, online-auction sellers are likely to be under-whelmed by Yahoo's announcement. "Non-paying bidders" are the bane of auction sellers' existence, and unless Yahoo backs up its announcement with a commitment to auctions, sellers may not find "free" worth it.

Yahoo Auctions first began charging listing fees in January 2001, causing an outcry from its users. Within several months of the fee implementation, Yahoo Auctions listings dropped from 1.5 million to approximately 350,000. A spokesperson at the time defended the fee, saying the company believed it would improve the quality of the auction platform.

This week's news from Yahoo comes on the heels of eBay's announcement it would acquire comparison-shopping site Shopping.com, which competes against Yahoo Shopping. eBay's planned acquisition of Shopping.com signals an entry into a highly competitive area. Yahoo, Google and Amazon all have shopping and search services, and Yahoo and Google have paid-search, an increasingly popular service that help etailers drive traffic to their offerings. eBay's Keyword program is a paid search service for its own sellers exclusively on its own sites, and it's likely to expand the service on Shopping.com.
