eBay Knocks Out Yahoo! Auctions

The fight is over, and eBay won. In a message on its site, Yahoo! told users it would discontinue its auction service.

"After careful consideration, we have decided to close down our Yahoo US and Canada Auction sites to better serve our valued customers through other Yahoo properties," the U.S. auctions site told visitors on Tuesday.

According to Hitwise, Yahoo had little choice but to shut down in a field dominated by eBay, which has a 94 percent market share.

"It comes with little surprise given Yahoo's advertising relationship with eBay, and eBay's massive dominance of the auction category," Hitwise research director LeeAnn Prescott wrote.

The decision to dump the auction service comes on the heels of last week's move to scrap Yahoo Photos. The company told users to migrate to Flickr.

"We are making great strides in our ongoing efforts to align Yahoo's resources and focus on core strategic priorities," said Jeff Weiner, executive vice president of Yahoo's Network Division.

Create an About Me Page

Creating an About Me page gives you the opportunity to tell buyers about you. You can say anything you want to, and include links to external sites. Tell people your philosophy, why they should buy from you, your background, even add a photo. You can add up to 2 photos.

It doesn’t matter which eBay site you add your page to, it is automatically duplicated in all the other eBay sites.

You can follow their step by step creation process, or use your own HTML.
