Overstock Auctions will soft-launch its Trusted Merchant program on Thursday. The program will enable sellers to become bonded through BuySafe and promote their status in their auctions. The two companies announced the program in March (http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y05/m03/i18/s08)

The program will officially launch as early as next week. Once the program is in place, Overstock will display auction listings from their Trusted Merchant participants in the Overstock.com search results.

Overstock has been adding partners, which can be seen on this page http://auctions.overstock.com/cgi-bin/auctions.cgi?PAGE=STATIC&PAGENUM=102. Marketworks is expected to launch its integration with Overstock in the coming days or weeks.
