Look at the listing counts for the people who are claiming those sales on WP. Check back at those listing counts again in a few days every now and then and you will see that there claims about sales are completely fudged.

What an utterly ridiculous statement! Â Nobody other than the sellers themselves could possibly know which items were sold (which would lower the listing count), which items were LISTED (which would raise the listing count and cancel out the reduction from sold items), and which items were sold from dutch listings (which would not affect the listing count at all). Â Someone could sell 100 items without the listing count changing at all or changing much. Â Get a clue and stop misjudging people when you DON'T have the facts.

I know at least one seller who CLAIMS tons of sales, so many the seller cannot keep up with them and does not hold dutch auctions. Â Although registered since July, this seller has only 91 FB, and 25 of those were from JUST ONE PERSON, another WP seller from whom this "seller" PURCHASED 25 items. Â
It's hard for a seller to support (and for any rational person to believe) his/her contention of having volumes of sales when there's no evidence in the feedback, the seller does not hold dutch auctions, the Alexa stats show abysmal traffic (as supported by post from other sellers) and hundreds of other sellers are abandoning the ship like rats, complaining of no sales and no traffic.
Thanks for the karma Â

I was planning to do the change by the 20th anyway, before the billing cycle hit again. Â

The seller that you're referring to HAS HELD and DOES CURRENTLY HOLD MANY dutch auctions. I have seen her picked apart senselessly and mercilessly on this thread and on PSU by people like you who don't know shi*t about anything. I don't care how many of her buyers have or haven't left feedback. She has nothing to prove to you or to anyone else. She is a fine seller and has my total respect and the respect of many other sellers who know her. You are another person who seriously needs to get a clue and stop misjudging people who you know nothing about. Try working on your own shortcomings for once instead of jumping on what you percieve others' shortcomings to be.
BTW the latest seller who left complaining of no sales never had more than a measly 14 items listed in their store. Yet another seller blaming the site for their own lack of common sense to actually LIST their items before expecting them to sell.

Gee don't you think I would have thought of that one, pleeeeeeeeeeaaassseeee point out all these dutch auctions that have thousands of sales. From what I can see the only dutch or fixed price listings that have sales on WP sell for $0.01 for a coupon.
I am so happy you responded to that post user391, I had begun to think you fled the poopland.
let the truth be told
u1it4less - "it's all in the name.."
P.S By the way I wasn't talking about the seller you are now talking about!!!

It isn't my job to point out every dutch auction run by every seller. The majority of my listings are dutch. It would not be possbile to accurately assess my sales by watching my store's listing count.Â
No, you weren't talking about that particular seller, but Designers was. Yet again. It makes me very angry to see that person being attacked over and over and over again. Posters here claim that they are not against the WP sellers, but I see daily evidence to the contrary.

NOT everyone here regularly posts against the WP sellers. I and the majority of TT'ers on this thread only want WP sellers to be informed, not attacked.Â
Please do not lump us together as we do not all feel that way.Â

Platzski, I saw you post unkindly about at least two different new WP sellers just in the last couple of days. I don't know if it's become such a habit that you don't even realize what you're doing.
Please refer to my post #1077. Here are two more replies to the OP on WP:

It seems like my traffic is worse than before the Grand Opening!
Very discouraging
And this one from one of the BIGGEST CHEERLEADERS on WP
Quote:16 Mar 2007 01:40Â Â Â
My hits (outside of here) are from Google mostly... and they seem to be looking for beads or designs, not finished products.
I'm generally very optimistic & supportive but I have to say I'm starting to get a little discouraged lately. Haven't had a sale since 3/2 and even DH mentioned tonight that I've got "more crap coming in the house than crap going out"
*HEAVY SIGH*
I know, patience patience
I, personally and only speaking for myself, do not have much respect for poppers who claim WP is the best thing since sliced bread and yet feel the need to spam for sales.
I know of one or two poppers with stores on many different sites. Good thinking, because sellers should not put all of their eggs in one basket. On the other hand, don't repeat (almost verbatim) your cheerleading posts on other sites, only replacing the name WP with eBay, ecrater, bidville, etc etc etc
If life is so good for you, wunderbar! Stay, drink yourÂ
and enjoy your selling experience. But don't drag your sorry ass over here and call us liars. We were there...we know.
