Quote:Dear Overstock.com Auctions Seller,
We are pleased to announce our new O-Subscription plans. Effective March 1, 2006, Overstock Auctions will offer subscription plans featuring 25 to 7,500 concurrent listings at a time. We are excited to be one of the only auction sites to offer a value-added pricing program. The new plans will enable you to get up to 75,000 listings on the site for one low price. In fact, the most you'll ever pay per listing is 3 cents!*
  * Select a Plan: You may choose a monthly plan or purchase a bulk plan in 3, 6 or 12 month increments.
  * Bulk Plan Discount: The 3, 6, and 12 month bulk plans will receive a discount (5%, 7.5% and 10%, respectively) off the total purchase price. See above chart.
  * Concurrent Listings: You will be able to list up to the maximum number of concurrent listings allowed on your selected plan without incurring any insertion fees. Concurrent listings are the total number of listings active at the same time.
  * Additional Listings: Should you exceed your allotted listing level, all additional listings will be charged according to our regular fee structure.
  * Closing Fee: As with previous plans, a closing fee of 5% will apply to all sold items.
  * What's Not Included: Please note that upgrades and other additional fees are not included in this new subscription plan.
  * Activation Fee: A one-time activation fee of $15 will apply to begin the plan.
   If you sign up for a plan by April 1, 2006, we will waive the activation fee.
  * Plan Changes: If you decide to change your plan level or duration, you are subject to a $5 plan change fee. If you are suspended from your plan and we allow you to subscribe again, a $5 reinstatement fee will apply.
  * Cancellation Fee: The cancellation fee for bulk listing subscription plans will be equivalent to 30% of the total subscription rate.
  * More details are available in the plan overview, plan agreement and contract, which you will receive shortly.
As a special thank you for listing on Overstock.com Auctions, we are extending your current subscription level through February 28, 2006 at 11:59 PM MST.
During this time, please review the plan levels above and determine which one best fits your needs. A Seller Relationship Member will follow up with you shortly to assist you in finalizing your decision. In the meantime, should you have any questions, please email our SRMs at xxxxxx@ overstock.com.
