As of July, Yahoo’s auction site in Taiwan had more than 3.7 million items listed.
Its transactions in 2005 totaled $687 million, according to Hung.
Yahoo started charging people listing fees on its auction site in April 2004.
“Those who left for eBay started (coming) back to us in three months.
(This shows) this is where the auction sales can really be made,” Hung said.
With eBay’s exit, Yahoo has become the biggest player in the online auction market in Taiwan.
Meanwhile, eBay has said the new co-branded site is scheduled to debut later this year.
Julie Lin of CNET Taiwan reported from Taipei.
