Yahoo Auctions is closing their doors, which made me think we’d all be stuck with eBay. They seem to have a monopoly on online auctions, don’t they? Not a true monopoly of course, but the closure of Yahoo Auctions doesn’t bode well for other people trying to take on eBay. eBid Online Auctions is trying to show the world we’ve got other options, and right now you can purchase a lifetime auction subscription for only $99. I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent much, MUCH more than $99 on auctions at eBay, so this is a cool option. Once you pay your $99, you never had to pay anymore fees to eBid. It’s a great promotion, and a great chance for them to convert Yahoo users into eBid users!

With the imminent closure of the US and Canadian Yahoo auction sites, US and Canadian users of Yahoo Auctions can import their feedback for free to eBid.net. Included in this special offer eBid.net will also allow all US and Canadian citizens to upgrade to a lifetime Platinum account membership worth $99.99 for absolutely nothing giving them zero listing and zero final value fees for life.

New users should register at us.eBid.net and if they wish to import feedback email a screen grab from their log in area of their yahoo auctions account showing their feedback page. Do not screen grab the public view of your Yahoo feedback page.

They can screen grab by pressing the PrtSc key on their keyboard to save a copy of their current screen to their clipboard and then paste into an email or into some photo software.

This offer lasts until Yahoo closes its doors on June 30th, 2007.

Users should email the jpg/gif/png/bmp image to yahoo_offer@ebid.net along with their new eBid username.
