Overstock Merchant Auctions List and Sell your Items

For all of you eBay fanatics out there, Overstock.com has created a very similar website for merchants to sell items through auction-based listings that looks very promising. Lately, Ive become extremely frustrated with all the competition on eBay so I wanted to search for another auction website where I could list my items for sale and not be overwhelmed by 100s of other item listings that are similar to mine.

So I searched in Google and came across Overstocks Merchant Auctions website. At first glance, I thought theirwebsitewas simple to navigate and listed all merchants items by department category for quick and easybrowsing.

Well I wanted to see how easy their listing system was so I signed up as a member and listed one item for sale. My first impression of their auction listing system is very positive. It was easy to use and I was able to list my item for sale on their website in less than 10 minutes and my total listing fee was only 79 cents.

Overstock.com Auctions charges insertion, upgrade (if applicable), reserve price, and closing fees. If an auction closes with a winning bid, the reserve price fee is refunded. Fees are based on a percentage of the selling price. Overstock.com's fees are 60-67% cheaper than their major competitor's.

So if youre looking for another type of auction website to list your items, thats similar to eBay in functionality but has less competition, and is cheaper on your wallet, then I highly recommend Overstocks Merchant Auctions.

How can they offer such great deals?

Overstock.com has partnerships with many leading brand-name companies. Because of these relationships, they are able to buy items at significant discounts, which then allow them to pass these incredible savings on to you. Here are a few examples of how we do this:

Overproduced Items
Each year manufacturers estimate how many items they will sell. Many times they overestimate and produce too many items. The manufacturer is forced to liquidate these excess items. Overstock will purchase these items at below-wholesale costs and then pass the savings on to you.

Cancelled Orders
Store managers frequently change the items they sell in their stores. As a result, they often cancel orders they have with manufacturers. The manufacturers are forced to liquidate these excess items. Overstock will purchase these items at below-wholesale costs and then pass the savings on to you.

Company-Specific Issues
A company may be downsizing, moving facilities, or just need to reduce its inventory for any number of reasons. The company is willing to sell the items for less than it normally would (often below its cost) to get rid of the items quickly. Overstock will purchase these items and pass the savings on to you.
