Overstock Auctions Kills O-Tracker without any advance notice
Auctionbytes has an article on the elimination of O-Tracker:
Quote:Overstock.com Auctions told its sellers on Thursday it had eliminated O-Tracker, O-Gallery, and the Most Popular Gallery, giving them no advance notice. Overstock.com Auctions Director Meghan Tuohig told AuctionBytes, "The features weren't as effective as we hoped they would be. We want to dedicate the resources in a more effective way." full article: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y07/m01/i12/s01 |

Quote:sellers will no longer be able to view how much traffic is coming to their listings. Yeah--I consider traffic tracking and stats to be "just part of the "look and feel," too." NOT. They really did kill the auctions. And quickly, too.

Re: Overstock Axes O-Gallery, O-Tracker & Most Popular Gallery
They killed them very quickly and the listing count keeps dropping. 30,171 items today.
Our original plans were to start the year with 2,500 items on O...instead we started with 0. : EDIT to add: Quote:she said the features were just for "look and feel." What a clueless
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"
"thanks twat u must have nothing better 2 do. do u talk to all your members like that. will not be recomending your site. best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011 |

edit-last month Patrick said 95% of the listings were subscription plan: my prediction: listings will fall to 17,000 (340,000 -95%= 17,000 listings)
