Usually, the transactions done in Taiwan are not charged. But now, there is a twist, Yahoo Taiwan Inc. plans to charge users for victorious deals on its sale or auction site. So as to carry on the improvement of service, abilities and competitiveness, we require spending much more finance and capital in the auction site. We believe users comprehend the necessity to initiate charging for this service," this was the statement made by the company on its website, for users.

This decision of the company to charge users may be quite risky, but then this may also be the right time. Because Rival eBay Inc. has set up its mind to move away its Taiwan site as it has signed the joint venture with local Internet auction operator PCHome Online Inc. in addition to it, Yahoo Taiwan also said that it’ll charge only sellers and not the buyers.
