Yahoo! Auctions is a service set up by the online search giant Yahoo! in 1998 to compete against eBay. There are currently only two localizations of the service active in Taiwan and Japan; Yahoo! has discontinued the service in the United States, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, United Kingdom and Ireland. The US and Canada section of the site closed down on June 16, 2007. The Singapore section of the site was closed on September 22, 2008. The UK and Ireland service was closed on June 28, 2002. During the shutdown of the UK and Ireland service, Yahoo! had endorsed its main auctions rival, eBay, as their 'preferred' service. The Hong Kong service was terminated on May 31, 2020. Since Wednesday, April 6, 2022, the Japanese version of Yahoo Auctions has blocked access from the EEA and United Kingdom. Yahoo! Auctions was preferred by some sellers for its no-fee policy — all revenue was from advertising. Singaporean users chose to shy away from eBay after the closure of Yahoo! Auctions in Singapore, citing high fees and a cluttered website.
