It will takes ages before they would include your free submission and yes it doesn't guarantee if it would be included or no. If they will find it not very useful, they might ignore it. Well, ya your links in yahoo directory would effect your website ranking in yahoo a lot and to some extent in Google too but its not worth spending $299. I would recommend you to add your link to Dmoz and it will be more than enough if it would get approved. Although it take ages too for approval.
