    5 Stars bargains at the auctions 13/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages its free and easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages you need a credit card to register to prove you are 18 years or over.

    I must admit i do like to buy a good bargain when i spot one and Yahoo auctions are certainly a good place to start. I have been using Yahoo auctions for sometime now both buying and selling. The best thing about Yahoo auctions is that they are totally free whether you are buying or selling. It is free to register too. Most other auction sites i have tried want to charge you a fee for selling which can get quite expensive and sometimes they even want to charge just to register. The first thing you need to do is register yourself on Yahoo's auction site. It is all fairly easy to fill in and all ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's Free, Easy To Use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a big user base

    One of the things the internet has taught me is that one man's crap is another man's treasure. That's where online auctions have come into play, when I think of all the stuff I've sold over the years I'm also inclined to think of how much more money I could have got by selling it via an auction site. The dominant force in online auctions is undoubtedly Ebay, their user base is by far the biggest which means that you have far more chance of selling your items at a price you'd like. But of course Ebay do charge you for the service and that's all well and good if you know that you're going to ... more

    4 Stars wahoo 2 auctions on yahoo 05/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages get what you want a fair ammount of the time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages there is a few but it is mostly a good site

    Yahoo! Auctions is not a bad site, but it tries to be too much like eBay, and that's just not going to cut it these days. Yahoo! Auctions, like eBay, offers tons of categories, user ratings, a notification service that you can set to e-mail you when certain items up put up for bid, and a good number of items. Unless Yahoo! comes up with something to offer users that eBay doesn't, the site will always come in behind eBay. This, I believe, is because eBay always has a lot more things to offer that Yahoo!, so where are you going to look first? Also, there are more eBay users, evidently, so where ... more

    4 Stars Yippee Yahoo Auctions 10/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages search options are a bit weak

    This is basically the only online auction site i use, for one reason and one reason only, it is free to sell things where as all other sites (that i have come across make a charge) For the Seller things could not be easier, register (which is free) and browse the categories or search for particular items and bit on them, all the information you require is there. nce you go into the item your interested in the screen is fairly well layed out, you have the seller information which tells you who is selling the product (suprising huh), there is also a number nxt to that person, this is there ... more

    5 Stars bargain hunters paradise 15/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great bargains, many catergories, free to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can become addicted

    Oh no, not another place for me to find bargains! I am a self confessed bargain hunter. I can't remember now why I first went to yahoo but since then I am constantly there searching the thousands of items for a bargain. Yahoo auctions is part of yahoo.com and can be accessed through their home page or if you have y messenger you can go to the auctions through this. If you are already registered with yahoo then to use the auctions to buy you just need your id and password. If you wish to sell you need to register a credit or debit card, this is only for security reasons and there is no actual ... more

    5 Stars find some great bargains 26/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages really cheap stuff if you look for it

    Disadvantages Disadvantages people not sending you money when they have bid on something

    I could spend hours on auction websites, maybe it’s because I’m nosey and like to see what other people are selling but I think it’s more than likely to be because I’m a bargain hunter! I think that Yahoo Auctions is the best online auction website that I have found, I prefer it anyway. It’s free to list items so generally things are cheaper than they are on paid auction sites – ebay for example. Nothing against ebay though! I have both sold and bought things from yahoo auctions and I have never had anything that hasn’t arrived after sending payment ... more

    5 Stars Best Auction Site On The Web 18/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Massive Exposure. No Fees.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fees Will Be Eventually Introduced.

    I have used a number of the auction sites on the web, such as QXL, Ebay, Freeserve and Aucland but it has to be said that Yahoo! wins hands down. I have been using Yahoo! for approximately 3 months now and I am really glad to have done so. The website is easy to navigate and even easier to use making the whole auction experience pleasurable. The Sellers Perspective I have managed to sell approximately 20 products in that time because of the massive exposure you get from using the Yahoo! brand name. All of my auctions have had large numbers of hits compared to the other auction sites which is ... more

    5 Stars Tips for managing online auctions 01/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free - easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Be wary of fraud/time wasters

    Yahoo auctions is a well-known on-line auction service in the UK. The premise is relatively simple - once you are signed up as a registered user, you can bid for any of the items listed, or list items of your own for sale. Online auctions are very popular, and the volume of traffic through the site has enabled yahoo to develop a slick operating system. Unlike the very popular eBay site, yahoo auctions charge nothing for listings, either as a seller or as a bidder, so there are great savings to be made straight away. Once the auction has closed, yahoo will email both the winning bidder and the ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, easy, good website, lots of links and lots of users

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ???? cant think of any ??????

    Well I have got to admit it, I was really impressed with yahoo, I have heard so many bad reports but until you check it out for yourself you wont believe how good it is and how many different sectors you can access, I went on once to check out my horoscope and since then I have never been of the site, you shop, bank, chat, email, check out the weather and many more things. But my favourite part is Yahoo auctions, basically it is exactly what it says, a auction, I have found some real bargains on there, I have even bought Christmas presents for people at knock down prices and the goods have ... more

    4 Stars Great auction site 01/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its free to list your auctions, so good prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages As with all auction sites there are the odd few rippers

    Yahoo Auctions UK & Ireland is run by the well known search engine Yahoo. Its similar to other auction site ebay.co.uk but unlike ebay who charge you for listing items its free with Yahoo Auctions. But the only problem is that you will find that you items on Yahoo Auctions don’t always get as many bids as what they do on ebay. Listing items with Yahoo is easy aswell, all you do is, enter a title and description, then if you have any pictures you want to add to the auction page you can upload a max of 3 per auction for free. Once you have done that you just need to enter the starting ... more
