Yahoo! Auctions to close

May 8, 2007

Unfortunately, Yahoo! Auctions has announced that it is to turn off it’s US and Canada auction bidding service as of 16th June 2007.

The last day to sell an item is 3rd June 2007.

This is a shame as Yahoo! Auctions proved to be an extremely popular auction site for people who preferred not to use eBay.

We will have to wait and see where eBay‘s next competition comes from – will it be uBid.com or eBid.net or will the classifieds rise and rule the used/second-hand markets?
