Yahoo! US and Canada Auctions sites are retiring on June 16, 2007!

After careful consideration, we have decided to close down our Yahoo! US and Canada Auction sites to better serve our valued customers through other Yahoo! properties.

Please Note: This does not impact leading Yahoo! Auction sites in Hong Kong | Singapore | Taiwan

The US and Canada Auctions sites will close June 16, 2007. We will continue to provide our sellers, bidders, and buyers with quality customer care and a limited set of features and tools through October 29, 2007.
Please keep the following dates in mind when using the Yahoo! US and Canada Auction sites:
• Last day to list an item: June 3, 2007
• Listings will not auto re-submit after June 3, 2007. (This could mean that your listings may not be submitted 5 times)
• Last day to Bid/Buy: June 16, 2007
• Last day to access remaining site tools such as My Account: October 29, 2007
Additional Note:
• US Buyer Protection Plan claims must be submitted no later than 60 days after you have been declared the winning bidder for an auction.
• As of May 4, 2007, the Auto Re-Submit feature and the Auctons Scheduler are no longer available for new auctions listings.

I'm moving some items to eCrater. Mostly original art... I'll probably list some other items there using a variation of the same ID. Waiting on confirmation on my first eCrater ID.. AsilisArt.

One more revision on my new ID Wink
