Hello Members,
I think it's important at this time that we post a reminder concerning the Linking Policy on Wagglepop.
The Linking Policy is as follows:
Listing Links
---------------------------------------------------
Wagglepop allows sellers to place the following links in your item description, or on any Wagglepop hosted page unless otherwise noted:
-One link to a page that further describes the item being sold in that listing.
-One link to an email address that opens an email client for potential buyers to ask questions about the item in that listing. However, that link may not display a website address as part of the email address, if that address offers items and products for purchase.
-Links to photos of the item for sale.
-Links to other listings of that seller.
-Links to an About Me page.
-Links that provide credits to third parties, if such links are material parts of an embedded element.
-One link to listing terms and conditions, provided those terms and conditions match those in the listing.
Wagglepop prohibits sellers from placing the following links in the item description, or on any Wagglepop hosted page unless otherwise noted:
-Links to web sites or pages offering merchandise, or static URL's directing to similar, are not permitted on Wagglepop.
-Links to sites that solicit Wagglepop User ID's or passwords.
-Links that encourage buyers to place their Wagglepop bids through a site other than Wagglepop.
Policy: Linking to web sites that offer to trade, sell or purchase goods or services, or including links for any purpose other than those listed above is not allowed. Listings or pages in violation will be cancelled without notice or refund.
--------------------
We would ask at this time that all sellers check their various listings and pages for proper linking compliance.
Thank you for your support of this important part of the Listing Policy

seller Wrote:The link issue is not the only issue, although I am infuriated now that Karen PERSONALLY sent me an email saying to remove links from my listings back in July, which I did and have never put back because they are not allowed -- period. What did you want me to do? Go through everybody's store and see who was using links and tattle on them - how professional is that? When I questioned why I wasn't getting hits, some sellers said I must be selling "junk" (their words, not mine), otherwise I would get hits, while the same item, selling for twice the price on eBay was getting tons of hits. Other sellers were telling me I wasn't working hard enough and should be putting flyers in supermarkets and laundermats. Whenever I questioned anything, I was basically told to put up or shut up -- there's this grand plan beyond the scope of understanding by we mere earthlings. This place has been one bid waste of my time, energy and money. While a few sellers here have really given me a hard time, I'm more angry at management for its cliquey nepotism and Swiss cheese guidelines. I'd be a fool to stick around here for more "surprises."

As you know as a business owner, business involves being able to adapt to your retail environment, and being able to have the flexibility to change your mind or reconsider important elements of your business.
That's exactly what we do each day, and are doing now regarding this particular link.
Today we say that linking to "Site X" is not allowed, but six months form now linking to "Site X" may be perfectly proper, based on a changing landscape or additional information.
That's just basic business common sense and practice.
If you do feel the need for account closure, we fully respect that as your decision to make. Please contact Customer Care should that need processing.
