Patrick Byrne AKA Hannibal has commented on the Overstock message Boards the Meghan Tuohig is the new Head of Overstock.com Auctions.
Only weeks ago Stormy Simon was announced as the Head of Overstock Auctions and began implementing changes and removing site features. According to Patrick "Stormy wrestled through some necessary changes before moving on to another project ( know some may disagree, I know, but this is already a far healthier ecosystem than it was a few months ago). "
The thread was started by Meghan Tuohig as a personal introduction to site users stating "A goal of mine for the New Year is to establish a closer relationship to the customers of Overstock.com Auctions."
In our opinion establishing a close relationship with sellers will be a tough job since many of the site features have been removed and other features such as BBL, and the ability to combine invoices has never been instituted.
According to Megahn's post several features will be rolled out on Monday January 22, 2007 including a shortened NPB process, Auction Counters, and the removal of the Ask User a Question Link on individual homepages.
The removal of ASQ links on user homepages is a significant change which will further reduce the ability of customers and prospective buyers to contact sellers on Overstock. As previously reported Overstock Auctions O-Mail has been faulty for months and many site users have been using the ASQ links to communicate payment and purchase information to customers who are not receiving Overstock generated invoices and purchase notices.

If Overstock intends to continue with auctions they best be aware of the bottom line for almost ALL sellers...we won't invest another dime with them until they start regarding their auction site seriously...and that means get real as to what we need in order to sell, get rid of the glitches and ADVERTISE! Its as neat and simple as that! If they can't or won't address themselves to that then they don't belong in the auction business.
