Yahoo! Auctions to Close Singapore Site on Oct 6
With this news, we may have to change the name of this sub-forum.
 ________________________________________ 13 August 2008 1815 hrs (SST) 1015 hrs (GMT) SINGAPORE : Yahoo! Auctions is closing its Singapore site with effect from October 6. Yahoo! said it decided to do so after careful consideration. In June last year, the company shut its auction service in North America. In response to Channel NewsAsia's query, a spokesman for Yahoo! Southeast Asia said: "In examining where we allocated our resources, we realised we could provide more value to our customers through other properties and decided to close the Yahoo! Singapore Auctions site." According to Yahoo!, this latest action should not impact Yahoo! worldwide auctions businesses, including its auction websites in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The last day for Yahoo! Auctions Singapore users to list an item for sale is September 1, while the last day to bid on or buy an item on the site is September 21. - CNA /ls

Re: Yahoo! Auctions to Close Singapore Site on Oct 6
It's not surprising. If you look at both yahoo & ebay auction, they are quite empty.
For example: Out of 100 products listed, only 1-2 have a bid on it. |

Re: Yahoo! Auctions to Close Singapore Site on Oct 6

I still think EBay is useful and more common.
It's luck... And you must have things that people want. |

Not really, you can choose free listing on ebay like no fancy border, only 3 pictures in maximum, only list 7 days or less and no picture view on main listing, etc....
Not easy to sell online in Singapore! |

Re: Yahoo! Auctions to Close Singapore Site on Oct 6
Hi like to quiry, you said you have sold on overseas auction but have you encounter any problems such as money transaction, strange people who 1 2 buy?
Bcos I recently, received a email from a person. He said he is interested in my item which I put up on auction but he is from Nigeria. I felt not very safe to do transaction with him as he request to use west union payment, somemore Nigeria people always scam. Quote:
