I think we are all just too used to getting things cheap. I figure that if some wants to give us a domain name for $1.99 he does want something from us, which possibley is linked business such as hosting or mail services. I think its only fair that a business like Yahoo should want to do the same.
However making the process of transferring a domain a PITA is not cool at all. You wanna charge a fee to release? Go ahead.... just make the process simple and quick.
I have not used Yahoos services ever so would know what the exact process is but I assume there must be some sort of form (online i guess) to fill out and a payment of some sort.
Yahoo Support would probably be the best place to get this info.
They have this page up for people wanting to transfer or point domains to Yahoo's nameservers. I am sure they must have a similar page if you are Yahoo customer for Domains or Hosting.
