Yahoo has announced that it will soon be closing it’s US and Canadian Yahoo auction sites. A savvy company – eBid Online Auctions- has stepped in with an offer that I’m sure many who currently use Yahoo’s auction sites will find hard to refuse.

That’s right. eBid has created a free offering of their Platinum Lifetime subscription. This subscription is normally priced at $99, but until the 30th of June you can get it absolutely free.

The company has put out a press release regarding their offer:

With the imminent closure of the US and Canadian Yahoo auction sites, US and Canadian users of Yahoo Auctions can import their feedback for free to eBid.net. Included in this special offer eBid.net will also allow all US and Canadian citizens to upgrade to a lifetime Platinum account membership worth $99.99 for absolutely nothing giving them zero listing and zero final value fees for life.

New users should register at us.eBid.net and if they wish to import feedback email a screen grab from their log in area of their yahoo auctions account showing their feedback page. Do not screen grab the public view of your Yahoo feedback page.

They can screen grab by pressing the PrtSc key on their keyboard to save a copy of their current screen to their clipboard and then paste into an email or into some photo software.

This offer lasts until Yahoo closes its doors on June 30th, 2007.

Users should email the jpg/gif/png/bmp image to yahoo_offer@ebid.net along with their new eBid username.
