Yahoo! US Auctions has finally closed down. This is a real shame for sellers wanting a free alternative to selling stuff on eBay.
Who will take their place?
Well I should imagine both eBid.net and uBid.com will rise to the challenge in an attempt to rival eBay but time will tell. Stay tuned.
Check out other auction sites.
uBid.com has been added to Auction Alfie’s tabbed auction search.
US shoppers can now compare products on uBid.com with ebay.com, ebid.net, Tazbar.com, InetBid.com and Liquidation.com.
uBid.com offers new, overstock and refurbished merchandise in their online auctions from established businesses. uBid.com currently offers around 200,000 items for auction.
uBid.com offers brand-name merchandise spanning over 200 merchandise categories including computer products, consumer electronics, apparel, housewares, watches, jewelry, travel, sporting goods, home improvement products and collectibles. More about ubid.
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?
