In a continuation of the fallout from Overstock Auction's introduction of its Trusted Merchant program, a group of Overstock sellers have formed the Trusted Overstock Auction Sellers Affiliate. Sellers who meet the criteria for membership will be able to display a "Trusted Member" logo in their listing descriptions.
The criteria for membership is:
1. An active Overstock seller for 3 months before applying
2. At least 20 ratings from unique buyers (ratings received from the selling of recipes or gmail accounts will not count towards this total)
3. Sellers with less than 50 ratings need at least 90% positive feedback. Sellers with over 50 ratings need 95%+ positive.
4. Sellers listings and home page must not violate Overstock's TOS.
#5,6,7,8. some other requirements, including listing at least 20 items per month to maintain membership after being accepted.
The group's web site is at: http://www.toasa.org/ and the complete membership requirements are at: http://www.toasa.org/criteria.htm
