Questions & Answers

Question:
Will this process really delete my Overstock.com account?
Answer:

Since you cannot delete your Overstock.com account in the traditional sense this is the only option. You need to make your information useless. Overstock.com customer services explains that they do not have any option to close the account. But, you can login to your Overstock.com account and in my account settings, you can update your email address to 'invalid.com'. Then, you can change or delete any other existing personal information thus making your account useless to them. It is essentially the same as deletion.
