I forgot to include this tidbit.
Search by stores reveals 4 current items.

Now search this way. By clicking on their feedback and then clicking on 'view seller's items' . It only shows 2. What is wrong with this picture? Food for thought.Â

Analogy of a store.
Today I will 'showcase'
Stonehill Minerals. This store registered June 8, 2006. In the past 6 months this store has had a maximum of 11 listings but usually sits around 5-8. The average value of these listings has been and is $10.00. To date only 1 feedback is displayed that reads:
Quote:Super Fast Shipping, Gr8 Transaction, Highly Recommend this seller will be back .
Bolding mine. They didn't come back, this customer are themselves gone as evidenced by the deletion of their 'Me' page. Since June 06 to May 07, we are expected to believe that this seller has faithfully paid an accumulation of $119.85 in WP fees to cover these measley listings.
This store has played peek-a-boo with the total count since I've been aware of WP's existence. Active - not - active - not - etc.
I put it to you my intelligent colleagues; is this a legitimate business... or not. Â

I noticed this store too and that was my thoughts exactly who would pay the fees to keep that many $10 items listed. A lot of times when I clicked on it I would find 4 or 5 items listed hardly worth the fees. This just didn't make sense.
Sher... I like your store reports too!! I just never responded... sorry about that... I just always looked at them as a community service message!!Â

Fine... I have tons of earrings including mickey bling... save 15% too by using coupon code tulip at checkout!!
Sherry - I've lost count lol. Out of the 248 stores, how many do you think are ghost stores at this point?
Sher,
Please continue your public service announcements. That's exactly what they are. I'm not an active contributor to this thread. But, I'm here each day reading and finding out what is happening in the dark land of deceit. IÂ
in January. I had my say on this thread. Now I still come here for educational purposes and a few laughs.

Very strange...
from zaja, in the farewells forum:
Quote:I am closing my store as well, hopefully Karen got my email from 3 days ago requesting to close my seller's account. Unfortunately the money that I am investing monthly is not turning into sales, and I cannot do it any longer. One day in the future when the stats are higher and things get better I will be back Wish everyone here the best of luck selling, and of course I will always be around to check around for some cool sales
Ciao for now!
Then, just 8 minutes later:
Quote:Actually, you know what. I think I will keep my store. I will just change what I put in it.
I guess these posts will stay,even though the first one probably crosses the "positive posts only" line - the second one more than makes up for the first one.

Very strange indeed... They took the time to empty their store, have been waiting 3 days to have their store closed by KaRay but only took 8 minutes to change their mind.Â
