Overstock Auctions Allies Itself With Google & Froogle

Overstock Auctions has announced that all its "Make It Mine" auctions will begin displaying in Google/Froogle:

"We began sending Google Base a bulk upload file containing all MIM (Make It Mine) auctions. We expect that sellers should start seeing their MIM Overstock.com Auctions items in search results on the Froogle and Google websites."

Contrast this with eBay's attitude - it refused to allow eBay users to offer the Google payment plan. eBay claims this is to protect buyers but that claim fools no one. After all, all kinds of payments options - besides the Google one - is offered on eBay.

We suspect that cooperation will serve Overstock better than eBay's tactics.
