A smart seller lists items where most people see them. Its common sense,
the bigger the customer base the bigger the chance of selling for the
highest price in the shortest time.
I have nothing against yahoo, at least not yahoo auctions. But until they
are have the customer base that ebay has they will always be second (or
less) best.
