Introduction Contd...
|
Yahoo Japan provided entertainment, Internet shopping, e-mail, search, and
information listing services in Japan. As of August 2007, Yahoo Japan's sites
were the leading websites in Japan as per comScore World Metrix5, with more than
41 million visitors (Refer to Exhibit II for a list of Japan's top websites).
One of the most popular services that Yahoo Japan provided was online auctions.
It started online auctions in September 1999 and was the first website to
introduce auctions in Japan. From the beginning, Yahoo Japan Auctions was highly
successful and competitors like eBay had to retreat from the market unable to
compete with the leader.
