Evening Dave, here's something ....Listings fall at Yahoo! auction - FT LONDON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - U.S. internet media company Yahoo! Inc <YHOO.O> has said it has experienced a large fall in listings on its auction service since it began charging users in January, the Financial Times reported on Monday. The decline comes as Yahoo faces pressure to diversify sources of revenue. Currently, advertising accounts for 90 percent of the portal's income. Merill Lynch calculates that Yahoo had three to four million active auctions a day worldwide, with two million in the U.S. The U.S. listings have fallen to 200,000, and will generate only a third of expected revenue. "Obviously, moving to a paid model we fully expected some of the listings would fall off the site," said Brian Fitzgerald, senior product manager with Yahoo auctions.
