You will receive your bills in your Yahoo! inbox on the Bill Pay homepage. The bills in the inbox need to be scheduled for payment.

When the payee has credited your payment, the bill will be displayed in the payment history box. You always know where your bill is and you can receive alerts to help you stay on top of the bills in your inbox.
