Looking for Something?

Yahoo! Auctions makes finding something easy. You can search by an item name, description, or seller name. Or you can browse through the categories by subject.

Quick Tips

Did you double-check your spelling?
Be as specific as possible, \"Erin the Bear\" will give better results than \"Erin\" or \"Beanie Bear\"

Searching by item name

Are you looking for a particular type of Beanie Baby? Enter the words \"Beanie Baby\" in the search box and it will take you to a list of categories for Beanie Baby products. See here: Search of \"Beanie Baby\"

Searching by description

Perhaps you only want to see Erin the Bear Beanie Babies? You can search by description. Click on the Options link next to the search box. This will be pull up an advanced search form. Enter the words \"Beanie Baby and Erin\" in the description field and click enter. For this item, there is a category so the search results look like this: Search of \"Beanie Baby and Erin\".

If you searched on a more general item the search results might look like this: Search of \"Beanie Baby and Green\"

Searching by seller name

Perhaps you've purchased on Yahoo! Auctions before or you know from word-of-mouth that a particular seller has a great reputation. You want to buy from that seller, but how do you find them? You will need to know that seller's Yahoo! I.D. Return to the Options search, and enter the sellers I.D. in the Find a buyer or seller by name field. This search will take you to the seller's listings page.

Browse by category

This is one of the best ways to experience Yahoo! Auctions. You never know what kind of treasures you'll find when you're just browsing around.

Yahoo! Auctions are broken up into categories. A Yahoo! Surfer (a person who manages the categories, like a librarian who organizes books in a library), creates and combines categories based on user feedback.

Start by clicking on any of the categories off the front page of Yahoo! Auctions. Follow through until you've found your item of interest. If you return often to your favorite categories (example: Antiques & Collectibles > Memorabilia), you might want to bookmark them for quick access next time.
