I love this site and thanks to the wonderful Youtubers who have made me aware that I am not crazy. They mentioned wagglepop and I will never leave. Started on the big E in 1997 and left with 4,000 positive feedback and 99.6% rating.

Wagglepop is friendly and so very helpful. The tools are inclusive of the $29.99 and that is terrific. I have spent as high as $1,200 a month in fees on the other big site. Wagglepop is easy and user friendly. I haven't left since the first day I descovered the site.

Looking forward to Blogging, Vlogging and Chatting with other users here. I would never have found wagglepop.com if it weren't for the boycott and I am so thankful to have my eyes opened and faith renewed in the ability to sell safely and securely.

Thanks you Wagglepop for the venue and keeping all of us professional and happy.

Great site, if you don't jump in now, you will miss out on the fun times ahead. Great buyers and sellers and wonderful stuff.

I have changed my user name just for a change and to keep track of the two different sites. If any of you remember me, I had Cameo Collections store and my user name was showcasemerchandise. Had over 4,000 positive feedback and 99.6% rating but left it all for WAGGLEPOP.COM.

Get the word out there guys, blog, vlog, email and let people know where we are. Had 5 people join after visiting the "New Features" chat room over there. Welcome to all who have seen the light and let's help to keep this place safe and fun for all.

Wagglepop.com is an answer to my prayers. I sold exclusively on the big E and felt like an orphan until Wagglepop community took me in and made me feel at home.

Thanks to all of you for creating a wonderful haven for those who care to give the very best in on line auctions. Now the fun begins.

Arrived early April and sprung for a featured store but never listed anything before it was closed. Opened another store at the end of April and listed inventory. The current store shows 2 FB. One each as buyer/seller and both exchanged with the same 'customer' who happens to live in the same county.

The track record doesn't really support all the over-the-top excitement and endorsement for WP. Ya think?

I think he's really a male prostitute that delivers singing telegrams in fuzzy bunny outfits!

OK... new game!  Guess the occupation!! 

Umm, professional "delete" key endurance tester or maybe the fuzzy-slippered spin doctor for the American Neo Nazi Party. Maybe in his off hours he writes self-help brochures on outsourcing hamster-generated IT support.

Is boinktard an occupation?

The focus on fun and community and lack of concern for sales is rather strange for someone with 4,000+ feedback.

I don't understand in the poppers post where they make comment something to the fact that they "felt like an orphan" when selling on eBay (GASP! I actually wrote it out rather than referring to it as "E" or "over thEre" or "the other site"... I hope no poppers burst into flames!!) 

I have my own venue and sell on eBay.  I'm a professional seller and don't rely on the "company" of others to make me feel better or to give me sales....

I just don't get it... 

And I almost had to clean my laptop with the statement of being able to sell "safely and securely" on WP.... anyone thinking what I'm thinking?  Can you say... rscript holes?

Get prepared for more traffic!!!

Hi Poppers,

I just read on Auctionbytes Bidville has announced it is closing on June 17th....so More sellers and more buyers for us yahooooooooooooo.

So go start listing and make this site all that it truly can be!~~~xxxxx

Q.How many buyers and sellers did WP gain when Yahoo Auctions closed last June?
A. WP's listings and store counts both fell in June 2007.

Bidville has always been of great interest here as we aspired as companies to similar markets. The shuttling of Bidville entirely is a curious decision overall to us.

While we recognize the parent company (UBid) as seeking to support more of a business-to-consumer model rather than a comsumer-to-consumer model, the valuation they have assigned to Bidville seems designed primarily to ensure the closure of it.

We saw their announcement as a possible opportunity for action, but our own valuation of Bidville and the estimated purchase price range given to us by Bidville upon our inquiry are wildly disparate.

Our hope now is that the many Bidville members looking for alternatives find us here at Wagglepop to buy, sell, and continue or make new friendships and relationships.

Come on Poppers,

jump on the WP wagon don't you agree we have the best site out there on the planet?

OMG I just about peed myself when I read that. 

Things over there on wp just get curiouser and curiouser.  The newbie wp'er with 4,000 ebay FB and they are blowing wp's horn?

This is for you boinktard

What! I didn't even get a spew alert, and now my monitor is full of coffee AND puke!

Is AndRay REALLY trying to say he was considering PURCHASING Bidville? With what? Hamster turds? "Wildly disparate" is an understatement. Most sellers want real money.

If nothing else, WP will go down in the Guiness Book of Records as cranking out more  than any other ecommerce venue in the history of mankind -- I mean the planet.

Why do you people have a problem believing this?? And/Chris/Ka/Ray probably saw his offer of 2 dozen pairs of pink fuzzy slippers that once encompassed the feet of the exalted one, 6 exhausted hamsters inclusive of their shredded wheels, and 10 well used bath-robes sporting DNA contributed from various sources on Ray's body as an absolute bargaining tool. These artifacts are museum quality!!! Bidville would have cleaned up with the offer!

Geez, give your heads a shake. You are just not being dynamic enough. 

Edited to add: Great song Sneaky!

Well, smack my mouth. I stand corrected. Why did I not see that the two dozen moth-eaten, smartly-shredded fuzzy slippers complete with painted toenail shavings from the almighty himself would alone be more than enough to bag that Bidville prize.

You're always pointing out the errors of my narrowly-conceived, miscreantic (??) mind, Sherrand.

I wish I had some fvf included in the $9.95 but I have not had one sale the whole month of May but we must have faith that things will improve.

build it and they will come!

Wildly disparate

I think we can add that one to boinktards catch phrases, along with dynamic. 

Exactly right DB, no spew alert or nothing.  Boinktard just put it right out there Wildly disparate You would think th
