......YAHOO Drops CC Requirement For Buyers
--------------
Y_hoo has dropped their Credit Card / Social Security requirement for buyers. The Credit Card requirement for buyers was the downfall for Yahoo Auctions. Should be better days ahead for Y_hoo Auctions. -- http://auctions.yahoo.com/ ---------------- This is very good news. Having a credit card doesn't mean a buyer is a good buyer afterall. After these requirements went into place years ago, my sales tanked. I sold quite a bit of ballcards to minors who would send me cash and SASE and I'd put the cards in the envelopes and send them on their way. -- http://auctions.yahoo.com/ ----------------- postcards: Thanks for the childish response but its the same policy as eBay. EBay has NEVER required CC#s from buyers. It would destroy eBay. -- http://auctions.yahoo.com/ ------------------ Same here. I moved my listings to Y_hoo when my eBay sellthru rates dropped below 50%. I had an immediate increase in sales and profits (with no fees). The good times lasted for approximately 1 year, up until Y_hoo implemented credit card requirements for buyers. Y_hoo buyers with substantial feedback were blocked from the site because they would not or could not provide a CC#. My sales tanked within weeks. -- http://auctions.yahoo.com/ --------------------- Yahoo should get a boost from this if they spread the word to all the eBAy buyers. Lots of great buys on yahoo right now! -- http://auctions.yahoo.com/ ---------------------- "Wrong. To be confirmed, a buyer must give ebay their CC#." Then I assume its not REQUIRED to be confirmed. I buy on eBay and have not given them a CC#. All that you currently need to buy on Yahoo auctions is a Yahoo I.D. and you are good to go. Bigger news than most sellers probably realize. -- http://auctions.yahoo.com/ ----------------------- If you use aol, earthlink, etc then you do not unless you want to set up a seller account. I know that, you know that, and da_lizard knows that, but qualifying every comment would eliminate all the "interesting" rebuttals. The main point being that Yahoo's Credit Card requirement for ALL buyers, regardless of email address, sent Yahoo into a downward spiral and has handicapped Yahoo Auctions for the last 5+ years. Now that Yahoo has removed all the "improvements" that destroyed their traffic, it's very likely they will make a comeback. Sports card listings have climbed from 110,000 to 156,000 in the last few weeks. -- http://auctions.yahoo.com/ |
