| has gloss | eng: Yahoo! Auctions is a service set up by the online search giant Yahoo! in 1998 to compete against eBay. The US and Canada sections of the site were closed on June 16, 2007, and on September 22, 2008, the Singapore section of the site was closed. The Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japanese sites remains up and running. A UK and Ireland service was closed on June 28 2002. During the shut-down of the UK and Ireland service, Yahoo! took the unusual step of endorsing its main auctions rival, eBay, as their preferred service. |
