Why do I need to verify my email address?
All Yahoo! Auctions bidders and sellers are asked to verify their email address. We can help ensure better communication and smoother transactions between buyers and sellers after the auction by verifying email addresses. Also, we can send email notifications when something happens with an auction in you're involved in.

From the Yahoo! Auction home page, click the "Sign up now!" link to begin the registration process.

During registration, a confirmation message with directions on how to sign in to Yahoo! Auctions is emailed to the non-Yahoo! email address you entered at the time of registration.

Troubleshooting

  • Did not receive verification email.
    If you don't receive the email, you may not have entered a valid alternate email address during registration. Please check the spelling of your email address to make sure it's correct. In addition, please make sure that you have entered only one alternate email address. To view or edit your registration information, please visit Account Information.

    If your email address appears correct and you haven't received the verification email, you may want to check with your email provider to make sure you aren't having difficulties receiving messages from Yahoo!

  • Email verification code does not work.
    The best way to make sure that the email verification code works is to copy and paste the URL of the code into your web browser. This will avoid any possible misinterpretations of the number one and the lower case 'L' or the number zero and the uppercase 'o'.
