Judging my my own difficulties and comments found all over the OS discussion board, looks like the management at Overstock.com put the cart way before the horse.

Basic listings are flawed, searches are flawed, marketing preferences are set to send out unwanted junk mail by default (can't get it to turn off), etc., etc.

I realize this is a new service for OS but, come on guys, the money seems to be there for their huge internet and television marketing campaign. Why not put a halt to that end of the operation for awhile and put that money into product development?

There are millions of sellers salivating for an alternative to eBay and OS seems to have the clout to make it happen. But, the way things are at the present time is a big joke. Get it together OS!

I hope someone from the OS team is monitoring this board and can offer some input.. . . visit our continual online yard sales ... ... click here!

I'll agree on the search part.

Looks like overstock will have a small group of loyal followers, simil...

All I can say is that if OS is using this new auction scheme as a mark...

no one is ever gonna compete with ebay.
