You can count on what Steve has said there - the included eyepieces generally with those scopes are reasonably good, especially in terms of suiting someone who is a beginner at observing (like I was just over a year ago when I bought my GSO dob from Andrew's).
You will find that the ep's that come included with a scope will vary from dealer to dealer (ie GSO dob at Bintel & Andrew's Communications used to come with different ep's) - for instance when I bought mine I received 2 GSO plossl's (25mm and 9mm) and 2 x Series 500 plossl's (15mm & 4mm).
Another thing to consider is that it takes time to learn how to observe, a skill that will increase with time and practice. This is a matter of both the eye learning to "see" better, and of training your brain to better interpret what the eye is seeing.
In short - go with the included eyepieces, get familiar with them, enjoy your observing! Later on if (hopefully "when") you get a chance at a star party to view through someone elses more expensive ep's you'll be ready to decide what factors you like or dislike about other ep's, and whether those factors are important enough to you to spend some money, or lots of money, or huge amounts of money, to buy "better" eyepieces.
