Using the logical approach will lead you to the false conclusion that apparently you have. You can list an item and have hundreds of eyeballs watching it and when it sells get 97 cents on the dollar on eBay. Or you can list an item on get a handful of hits and token bids that don't meet a low reserve and not move the item. If you can't sell items everytime you list them on Yahoo auctions then that is dead money until you can turn it over. eBay right now equals turnover. I have had 100+ transactions on eBay and in contrast have wasted too much effort of YHOO auctions for next to no results. eBay is a garage sale seller's dream come true. The search, Ending today, Going going gone, are all superior functions eBay has over Yahoo. The history already built into eBay's feedback numbers on buyers and sellers also is a comforting factor when compared to the constant zero feedback of the average Yahoo auction buyer. Where else could you glean so much attention from frothing bidders over obscure garage sale item. The answer is no where. I have sold oddball items on eBay that I never dreamed anyone would find. Regards from the actual trenches. Scott
