	About Yahoo Auctions

Solution Yahoo Auctions in Japan is basically Japan's version of Ebay. In fact Yahoo and Ebay launched their auction services worldwide around the same time. In most countries, Ebay became the most used service which resulted in Yahoo withdrawing their auction service from these countries. However in Japan, it was Ebay that was less popular, and Ebay withdrew their auction service from Japan leaving Yahoo Auctions Japan.

Like Ebay, Yahoo allow anybody from indivuduals through to retail shops to list items on their site. The sellers can start the auction at any price they like, can set a reserve price, a 'buy it now' price and even have the auction run over-time if there are last minute bids placed.

There are MILLIONS of auctions listed at any one time on Yahoo. Almost all auctions run for 7 days, unless the auction has a 'buy it now' price which, when reached, the auction closes and the person who bid at the buy it now price is the winner.
