Well, here's my $0.02 about the Yahoo auction ...
* It was *very* time consuming putting the items up there. As you can see by
the "Auction Start" times, it took over an hour to get approx. 35 items up
there.
* The feature to upload your pictures to their server is nice, but when you
have as many pictures as I did, it again was time consuming. I would have
liked to see a wildcard feature, so I could have done *.jpg and been done with
it.
* I haven't found a way to change the bid increment ... this is fine for what
I'm auctioning, but if I was putting up a $30 set, it would probably make more
sense to increment in $1 steps than the $0.10 that it defaults to.
The reason that I chose Yahoo is twofold:
1. I have been writing my own auction system as a "spare-time priject." The
problem is that around Christmas, there is not a lot of spare time.
2. It was completely free ... if I don't sell anything, I don't owe anyone any
$ for it.
