The new head of Overstock.com Auctions is going “back to basics,” causing third-party sellers consternation at some of the changes going on at the auction marketplace. Despite apparent fears on the part of sellers that Overstock may be “deemphasizing” or phasing out auctions, Stormy Simon said her job is to create a healthy auction business with a lot of pleased sellers. AuctionBytes spoke to Simon and her colleague, Meghan Tuohig, to learn more.
Stormy Simon took over the auction platform after J.T. Stephens left the company in September. Simon said, “We had a change in management, and new eyeballs on the site, new management means changes.” One change that had auction sellers steamed was the addition of tabs at the top of Overstock.com pages that they felt overwhelmed the one and only tab that led to auction listings.
