Yahoo Soon to Check Out Of Auctions
Yahoo and eBay have been working together on projects since May 2006. Their most recent deal brought PayPal to Yahoo as a payment mechanism for Yahoo’s online retailer clients.
Although it is not stated as such in the official announcement, the end of Yahoo Auctions in the US and Canada in June removes them from the online auction competition with eBay.
One of Yahoo’s deals with eBay has it placing advertising on eBay’s domestic pages. Although Yahoo is one of the most heavily trafficked domains on the Internet, that has never translated into online auction success; we have to think the ad deal is performing much better for Yahoo.
.June 16 will be the last day to bid or buy anything on Yahoo Auctions. Listings can be placed on the site up to June 3. Current listings will not auto-resubmit after June 3. Yahoo wants to redirect its customers to other properties like its Shopping, Autos, or Classifieds services.
