Do any of y0u know what policy ebay has for people that don't honor a trade. I sold something at auction or at least I thought I did. The buyer writes me back and says he's sorry he bought another one. I contacted ebay twice and neither time did they respond. Thanks

Robert: No, I view Yahoo auctions as a waste of time (at least now, for what I sell). In the past week I have sold 80 copies of my software on eBay at $30 each. I am also successfully selling on Amazon (though not nearly as many bids as eBay.) I have also had limited success on ZDNET auctions, and even have a bid on Lycos auctions (one of the few items ti have any bids at all). In all of these cases, I run Featured Auctions, paying $100 just to list on both eBay and Amazon. Yahoo does not offer Featured auctions, even as a paid option, which means Spector gets buried in the clutter. I'll give Yahoo another try soon, and will report on whether I receive any bids, and if so, whether they ever pay.
