OVERSTOCK AUCTIONS FREE LISTING DAY SUN 26 DEC 2004
************************************************************
Overstock Auctions is having a Free Listing Day on Sun 26 Dec 2004
from 12:01 am EST to 11:59 pm PST Sun 26 Dec. Please note they are
starting at Eastern Standard Time and ending at Pacific Standard
Time. Overstock says this unusual move is to give all listers in the
US a full day on which to list no matter where in the country they
live.

This FLD is for insertion fees only. Overstock will still charge
reserve fees, any upgrade fees and final value fees associated with
all auctions listed during the free listing period. The insertion fee
for listing an item in a second category is free, but all other fees
are doubled when listing in a second category. The Free Listing Day
does not apply to Real Estate Auctions.

During the first Overstock FLD, there were lots of outages and
breakdowns, so many sellers were not able to list. It remains to be
seen if Overstock has made any improvements to prevent these
problems. Overstock currently has approx 89,000 auction listings.

If you have any questions you can call Overstock Auctions at
1-800-843-2446 and choose option 3

If you use the link on this page to register on Overstock, TAG will
get an affiliate fee.

OTHER INFORMATION OF NOTE
************************************************************
The head of the ebaY India site Baazee.com, was arrested and jailed
in mid December, when someone used the site to sell illegal porn in
India. ebaY US has managed to get their employee out on bail, and
obviously money talks and influence may be purchased, as even Condi
Rice (otherwise known as the US Secretary of State) was involved. It
looks as if the Indian government has not yet bought into the
"venue only" argument ebaY has used so successfully in the
US, to shirk all responsibility for what goes wrong on their site.
What is interesting is that the Indian government did not shut
the ebaY India site down altogether.

In January, ebaY is going to stop sending the PayPal winning bidder
notifications.
