My listings from the FLD have ended, & so has my experiment with OVERSTUFFED AUCTIONS!

What an awe-inspiring record:

$50 spent for:

6 "SUCCESSFUL" auctions, with a WHOPPING...

4 out of 6 DEADBEATS!!!

PLUS their CS lovingly embrace the notion of CANNED-RESPONSE, totally putting the slackers at feeBay to shame...

My own fault -- Ralphie warned me NOT to blow LISTING FEES on a wannabee site, ala CARNABY...

What a let down. I think most of us expected OS to give eBay a run for the money...Didn't happen.

I keep kicking myself for being such a PUTZ & blowing LISTING FEES on a minor (minor) league site -- something I swore never to do again...

ESPECIALLY, as Ralphie's feeBay STORE has really taken off --

Doing so well, that not only will SANTA bring him a RED SOX HAT & COAT, but lately he's been eyeing a really spiffy PATRIOTS BLAZER with GOLD buttons and EMBROIDERED crest!

Oh! The MATERIAL dog!

Hi Ralphie (and Tom)! I have to disagree with ya (amiably). My FLD sales on Overstock were great! Sell through rate overall has been 65%, and my customer service questions have been personally answered. It might just be the kind of items, estate jewelry is going well for me. However, I'm very glad that Ralphie is gonna get great presents - he will be a spiffy dog for the holidays, especially in the blazer.

I have sold many items on Overstock.com.
You have to be persistent in getting them to pay-some have no idea if he has or has not paid for the item ,since OS has their credit card on file,they assume they have paid for the auction item.
You can send them a paypal invoice,some prefer to give you their credit card ,some of course are deadbeats.

I did sell some items from the FLD, but must agree with Tom on this one. (I can't believe I am agreeing with him) Overstock had promise, but blew it. For the sell through rate that they have, 23 cents a listing is way too high. If they drop it to a nickel, then I might return, but with all of the glitches with their site, it would be a very tough decision. For now, it's Ebay, Yahoo and epier for my free site.

many of their bidders are loyal Overstock customers,if the listing fee goes too low,all the garbage which cant sell on ebay will show up on Overstock.

I sold some items, most of which were things that wouldn't sell at eBay and I sold them at LOW prices just to move them. I'm not going back...

Didn't sell anything from the FLD items I put up.

Have made 3 sales there 2 to an NPB who negged me - so my rating is atrocious and probably will prevent me from selling anything there now 8(

I'm going to list until my credits are used up and re-evaluate.
