Thoughts on Overstock.com's new auction deal

Well, what do you guys think of it? For those that have no idea what I am talking about - check it out and let me know what you think. The fees seem a little lower and it seems to be a "little" more secure. I regestered so I could find out the fees, but I don't know if I will actually buy or sell anything though.
 
hmm will have to keep an eye on this might make for some good deals since many people don't know about it (less stupid people)
 
They have this 'friendship' network that is annoying as he!!.

Since it is a new site, they are looking to gain trust, so they encourage users to build up a 'friendship network' of other users.. kinda like to vouch for them. Overstock offered a prize to the user with biggest frienship network and it gave license to every user to inundate everyone else with invitations... like four or five a day if you ignored them at first. You would have to turn down every invitation individually. That is what made me bail.

But I checked out the site and the way things work and I think it is ok, but will probably never give eBay cause for concern.

I have been scammed on eBay before, and every damn time it was some piece of crap with 0 feedback. I kinda liked the fact that the "governing body" seemed to want some more info. to become "verified" (CC, actual address, phone number, etc.) I actually think eBay needs more info. about the users.
