Yahoo matrix auctions

[_chz]

Yahoo auctions aren't nearly as popular as E-bay but Yahoo is still a place for matrix scammers to thrive. You can report Yahoo matrix sites at Yahoo abuse (http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/auct/cgi_abuse).

Here are the matrix auctions I have dug up so far:

Great job, _chz! We definitely need a lot more help on cleaning up all the illegal matrix auctions on ebay, yahoo and everywhere else :)

Here's the Link to Yahoo abuse, they have the same rules as Ebay as far as the info auctions.

Looks like Yahoo moved in fairly quickly on these! Three more shut down. Yahoo even sent me a friendly letter.:)

Btw, peterdragin put the yahoo abuse link up which is a good starting point. However, it took me a while to figure out how to report abuse. The direct link is:

This is actually in my original post but it is difficult to see because hyperlinks are very close to the same color as regular text.

I check Yahoo 2 or 3 times a week.

Yes they are much faster at canceling auctions, wish ebay was as fast as yahoo.

I have gotten about 6 or 7 sellers kicked off there also.
