This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

It is after several weeks of incessant e-mails and long distance phone calls to Yahoo! Offices in U.S. from Australia that I finally decided to write to you. I have been a small business customer of Yahoo! And I own and operate my web domain through the company. My company domain is www.gameplanconsultants.net.

A few weeks, my Yahoo account was deactivated. I have made at least fifteen calls to the U.S. at different Yahoo! numbers but no one can tell me why the account has been deactivated. Instead, I get a form reply directing me to the Yahoo! Website indicating the terms of service. A couple of Yahoo! people that I managed to get hold of told me that the deactivation “may” be initiated by the Billing Department, but no one is available to talk to me in the Billing Department. My Yahoo! Bills were automatically charged to my VISA account, and there has never been a problem with paying Yahoo!

I have my business mail through the Yahoo! account but have been unable to access it for several weeks. The company has my address book with all my important business contacts as well as all my business correspondence. In a complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau of Silicon Valley, I had requested that the company at least send me a file containing my address book and e-mails, and I would happily move to another web hosting site. I have not done anything whatsoever to violate the terms and conditions of my contract with Yahoo! The company is arrogant and unresponsive, and a thief. What they have done is analogous to a landlord evicting you without any notice and confiscating your property despite your paying all the rent on time and abiding by the terms of the rental agreement. I would strongly caution everyone against doing business with this company, or even to use any of their free services. You never know when they will shut you down. The damage caused to my business by Yahoo! easily runs into thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, being so far from Silicon Valley, I cannot sue the company yet. The rest, please beware.

Your news feeds are horrible. You would think that they were controlled by the Democratic Party. Can anyone there at least make an attempt to be somewhat unbiased?

Could you please get rid of the "Spicy Lingeree" ads on my email. I realize you want people to use the paid version, but forcing offensive ads is a pathetic way to do it.

Sponsored news are simply fake news, promoting fake investments opportunities, potentially making vulnerable people lose money.

Suddenly I can't leave COMMENTS after articles of interest like I recently used to.
If I type article title in and choose from other news outlets reporting same story, SOMETIMES I can leave message, BUT suddenly when I click to SUBMIT, nothing happens and my message is gone.

I was just surfing on yahoo and found that link about article "5 super drinks that boost your memory" is pointing to article on "Different kinds of mutual funds explained".

As a such reputed organization there should not be such mistake. Please correct it.

When a client mail us from China which mail domain is @techpool.com.cn, our mail server does not allow him to deliver his mail. Many times either the mail will be bounced back or not delivered in our mail inbox.

This is my request to you that please list the domain in whitelist @techpool.com.cn

You need to be more fair in your news reporting. All you put on your page is anti Trump and anti republican stories. Is it possible for more fair and balanced reports?

I keep seeing the same false news items showing up every time I open Yahoo! I have flagged all of the "news" items I do not want to see in my preferences, yet you keep sending me crap.
Sports is not news. Quit sending me this crap.
Celebrities are not news. Quit sending me this crap.
Fashion is not news. Quit sending me this crap.

Still Yahoo persists in creating news bad mouthing conservative opinions while supporting other free speech like liberal agenda politicians. Very very
disappointing to see the same junk. Guess YOU REALLY DO WANT TO BE A
TABLOID AFTER ALL. Scoot over tabloids Yahoo is stealing your business!
