Dead and Buried

Advantages: Cheap because you can't spend money
Disadvantages: You can't buy anything

Yahoo Auctions have closed completely... This review used to say "It is difficult to use such a site if you live and bank in the United Kingdom (or Ireland) - almost nothing has overseas postage figures and the other reviews of this site date from before the purchase of the UK business." Now I need to say that it doesn't exist at all. It is quite difficult to take 120 words to say "this site no longer exists", but I am doing my best. Come on Ciao ...

Simple, Fast and Reliable

Advantages: Fast, Simple to use, Highly configurable.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.

I have used this free service for over two years now and have found it to be a marvelous service. It is very simple to use, with help and advice available at every stage. For searching for goods the site has two options. Either click through category listings until you get to the area of product you are interested in or use their search facility. I have found the search facility to be outstanding. Once you have placed your initial search you are ...
...find exactly what you want. The advanced search options give even more exact results. When purchasing goods from auctions, I have found the process very simple. You place your bid for the good and you are informed via email if you have been outbid or if you have won the auction in question. The seller then contacts you with payment details. One feature I especially like about this service is the Rating facility. This allows buyers and sellers to ...

Yahooooo to Yahoo

Advantages: Easy to use, FREE, FUN
Disadvantages: SOME PEOPLE NOT TRUSTWORTHY!!

Ok, here goes, I have been with Yahoo for some time now, as well as other sites like ebay and aucland, but still use Yahoo most frequently. I find it so easy to use. The auction is free to anyone, as long as you register. I use it for both buying and selling and never realised it could be such fun. I was absolutely terrified of buying on the internet but the sellers at yahoo put my mind at ease, My first transaction was gr8. I have had a few bad ...
...great. The transactions are fast and friendly and people don't mind waiting if you have a problem as long as you let them know. There is a rating system that allows you to rate each transaction, this really helps as it lets you know who you can trust. Also the escrow system puts some people's mind at ease, as the customer can send the payment and once the escrow gets it, the seller will send the item. I myself use Nochex as it is so easy and the ...

I'LL STICK TO EBAY

Advantages: Free service, good range of items
Disadvantages: Not as efficient as Ebay

Well, there are a lot of online auction sites around now and most people are probably well aware of Ebay as one of the largest and most well known. However, among Yahoo's many different services they also have an auction site which I have tried briefly but am not so taken with. The one factor they have in their favour is that for sellers no fee is charged for listing and selling your item whereas Ebay charge a minium of 15p depending on the price ...
...if you are having trouble getting your desired price for an item. I've dabbled with the Yahoo auction site but I am afraid it doesn't grab me. It looks and operates very similarly to Ebay with many different categories to buy and sell in - virtually everything is catered for from Cds, videos and toys to stamps, autographs and household goods and everything in between. A search facility should help you find what you want easily as long as you are ...

Under The Hammer

Advantages: It's Free, Easy To Use
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 ...
...Ebay do charge you for the service and that's all well and good if you know that you're going to sell your item. Thank's to my Dooyoo opinion in Ebay I was actually switched on to yahoo auctions by another user. This is an auction site with some advantages and disadvantages. The primary thing in Yahoo's favour is that they don't charge you for the service they provide. Your listing is free, there are no selling fees and you literally do take the ...

Buy or Sell. No problems with Yahoo

Advantages: User Ratings, good navigation, alerts, Free
Disadvantages: Risk of not recieving goods.

When i first thought about selling stuff on the internet, i was very sceptical. Worring about sending money and not recieving the product, buying faulty products, etc. About a year ago i though i would give it a go and try and sell something, thinking at least i wouldn't have to send the item unless i get the money. I had been using yahoo for its other services for a while, so thought why not try them. I checked out other peoples auctions, and ...
...or sells something off someone, both the buyer and seller comment on how good/bad the buyer/seller was. So at least you can get an idea of the kind of buyer seller is. I decided i would use Yahoo. So i went to the submit item to be sold pages, which were very straight forward. You can specify the minimum user rating you want to be able to accept bids from, minimum bid, sell price, photos, etc. Before i knew it my item was available for millions ...

Yippee to Yahoo

Advantages: Easy to navigate
Disadvantages: Can't think of any!

I love these auction websites and think they are the best place to pick a bargain these days. Never mind all that puching and shoving in the January sales, just sit me down in front of a PC and I'll find you the best value for money on the auctions. Yahoo has a massive selection of categories to choose from and the site is really easy to navigate around, or even better if you know exactly what you want just type it in the search facility. With easy ...
...a bit out about the person you're buying from, before you place a bid. It's not just the buying I like though the selling is just as good and there are no charges either like on some of the other auction sites. Putting an item up for sale is really easy with three step by step instructions. There is also a facility to place a 'buy now' button on as well if you have a high enough user rating, this enables bidders to just buy your item straight away ...

Yahoo auctions IS the best auction site

Advantages: Some excellent bargains to be had, easy to find things, FREE to list items.
Disadvantages: As with all auctions, you have to be careful who you're buying from...

"*Another* auction site" you may say? Well, this one is different; this one, my friend, does NOT charge you to list items unlike Ebay and fsauctions and QXL which do. Yahoo, offers a huge number of catagories and more often that not you'll be able to find what you were looking for (and probably a lot more that you weren't after but end up being interested in anyway!) One thing about auction sites (not just Yahoo) that some people don't seem to like, ...
...a business. This however, doesn't bother me; it often turns out that they're selling things cheaper than you could get them on a high street (or even at amazon!) and you get all the benefits of buying from a business. I mean, just because they're selling on an auction site doesn't mean they're selling dodgy goods-in fact they usually sell new products with gaurantees and I for one would feel more confident buying from a dealer than from an individual. ...

www.auctions.yahoo.co.uk

Advantages: Good quality bargains and nice people. The whole thing is great and its free!!
Disadvantages: Once auction on the way, you can't change the price if you decide its not going all that well.

A must for anyone who wants to find a bargain. There seems to be a bit of confusion between the american and english sites. As you can see from the address this is aimed at the british public. I have been using the auctions for quite a while now and to say i have never had a problem would be a bit over the top. I have sold alot of gear but i have also bought a lot of gear. I can't resist when i start looking. To register is free, compared to some ...
...can't see the point of paying a third party when you don't have to. As the old saying goes "Cut out the middle man". If you put anything up for auction. The site lets you upload 3 pictures, a discription, starting price and a reserve price which lets you dictate the least you will let it go for. Questions can be asked and yahoo inform you by e-mail when someone ask one. You can manage your auction at anytime. This is a quality service provided for ...

bargains at the auctions

Advantages: its free and easy to use
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 ...
...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 auction users are required to register with a credit card. This ensures that participants are old enough to use Yahoo! Auctions and that they are serious about bidding and selling. Credit card verification is completely secure. Your account is password-protected, and they never release your information or charge your credit card without ...

Advantages: bargains galore and quick selling.
Disadvantages: none

yahoo!auctions was one of the first sites i visited when i got on the internet,it is easy to use and selling goods is free.it's the only one that is .i like the fact that all the people i have dealt with have been friendly and helpful.i have made a few friends as well.i find ebay a bit time consuming taking far too much time getting to the right category,viewing the gallery and searching for similar items all takes to many pages to get to. with ...
...searching through pages of pictures of bargains. the rating system is good,so you can see what sellers and buyers are like with sending goods or paying on time,i have not had any timewasters either,which is what you want if you need the cash or cheque,i do not have anything negative to say about yahoo!because it is what i want from a service like this. ...

All the fun of an auction online.

Advantages: Fast good service
Disadvantages: You have to put your trust in others

I think that yahoo auctions is a great place to sell and buy items of any nature. I have had my own account on there for a while now and I have purchased items such as some VCD’s and a snooker cue. I have also sold 2 of my old phones. The users online have a rating, which changes each time something is brought or sold. This helps the buyer if they are not sure about sending money or cheque’s in post. The site has a good search facility, ...

You can get something for almost nothing

Advantages: Fun, easy, good website, lots of links and lots of users
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, ...
...I have even bought Christmas presents for people at knock down prices and the goods have been really good. Of course first you will have to register, but you do on most programmes these days, then you are up and running, you can sell, buy or just browse to see what takes your fancy. There are so many things on yahoo that you can buy, the last product that I purchased was a Wigan and St Helens Rugby programme for 50p dated 1966 but there are things ...

bargain hunters paradise

Advantages: great bargains, many catergories, free to use
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 ...

If not registered it is a easy and simple process which needs the minimal amount of information. Yahoo auctions include many, many sections including: -music and tv -toys and plush -memrobellia -fashion -watches and jewellery -books -entertainment And just about anything else you can think of. In each section people ...
