Been out of town and WP has really gone downhill since I've been gone. I can't thank you enough for this site and your ability to find information. In my world the problem with scammers-the smart ones-is when you think you've figured them out they do a quick turn and you're stopped for awhile. The police are always reacting until they can get ahead of them which is hard to do. They know the game and change the rules according to plan A B C etc. Police know the game it's just figuring out the rules as the scammer stays a step ahead. But, eventually they are caught and I'd get to listen to the big brag while they did they time in prison. Women are much of the time ashamed of their crime-men like to strut and boost for status. I'd tell the girls the only four letter wordyou don't know is WORK. Always after something for nothing. No moral conscience as to the damage done to unsuspecting people. They are good for laugh and just fools. Ray has all these behaviors, too bad he won't get to go to prison where he can brag and strut about all those fools. Or, could he? I'm sure he has ABC plans to protect himself.
Just me 2 cents this morning, now I have to go to the day job-it so interferes with my fun!!
Still waiting for the grand "analysis", AndRay. We're all eager to see what kind of wombat poo pooÂ
you're going to pull out of yourÂ
this time. Intuition tells me theÂ
supply is getting mighty low.
Update: 185 Stores found, 754 stores NOT found.

:ditto:
Some analysis for AndRay: our TS store (which is very small compared to other media/entertainment stores) compared to top level WP (phone verification required) categories:
consumer electronics: TS 735 WP 708
dvd and movies: TS 1830 WP 1473
music: TS 1104 WP 1170
video games: TS 1267 WP 492
A very limited selection combined with phone verification guarantees buyers in these categories will avoid WP. If WP can't even beat a small store like ours in these categories how does it think it can compete with eBay or Amazon for buyers or sellers?
Keep up the good work Ray

Was that the thread where he.she changed his name to -edit- ?Â

Yup, pretty sure that was the one. The boinktard.
It appears some sellers at WP are getting mighty testy these days - defending their darling corner of wombat poo poo like a dog defending a petrified bone.
Now we have Poopers publically admitting they couldn't care less if they make a sale. They'll gladly dump their monthly fees into Ray's wallet simply to spite TT. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: And others that are hauntingly similar to the Grand Boinktard's own style.

Is Waglepop worth $9.95 per month?
As a seller who suffered the Ebay madness for six years, I have to say YES!
I just recently shifted my Store listings from Ebay to Wagglepop as Ebay had been unprofitable for the last two years. Lots of sales there, but LOTS of fees and in the last two years way too many "unpleasant" people of various flavors have been allowed to run amok there.
I've sold on line at my own website since 1999 also and i agree with Wagglepop CC2 that the online market is like no other. Unfortunately, a small number of "unpleasant" people find it easy to seize the various online forums as pulpits to thoroughly trash any individual or business they wish.
Days after setting up at Wagglepop, I received a message from such an "unpleasant" character posing as a Wagglepop member warning me not to deal with Wagglepop. I reported this to WP, who promptly closed his account, but he's likely still active under other names.
An online business may have to spend much of their attention reacting to such harassments.
It is exactly because of these "unpleasant" folk that I don't miss Ebay and will support Wagglepop at $9.95 per month WHETHER OR NOT I SELL ANYTHING HERE AT ALL.
Wagglepop is professionally designed and excellently presented and well deserves a chance to survive this inevitable low point after their startup hoopla.
Ask yourself - Is it worth $9.95 per month to support this excellent alternative to the 800 pound gorilla that is Ebay? "If you build it, they will come" is still valid, but it takes way more time than one would think to make it happen.
Stick in there, Wagglepop. I'll support your alternative to the Gorilla for $9.95 per month.......Won't you?
And the reply by one of our favoriteÂ

Steve, AWESOME post and I agree with you 100%.
Also I am totally interested in making my own soap, so I'll be shopping in your store very soon! Best wishes to you for great success here! I personally would not consider selling online without including a Wagglepop store as part of my business. I would think that most intelligent online sellers would come to the same conclusion.
It is a very pathetic and yet apparently common practice for "unpleasant" characters to contact Wagglepop store owners, especially those who are new, to try to convince them not to continue selling on Wagglepop. Shame on them!
And, seems to be a bit of selective enforcement in board policy. Check this "positive, constructive, helpful" post. Actually, this one sounds very much like something their cult leader might have said.

HHHMMMM.... where to start. Wagglepop has been great for me. Listen, nature is always to self doubt when starting all over like many of us that are still here did. Some make it and some don't. Some tried, but not hard enough. And if the post and boards are more important to them then working the business that they so desperately wanted to make a success then let them keep being busy bodies and spewing the garbage and that is what they are and that is what they say. I have heard that they think some of the sellers over here have nice stuff and that some of us are nice, but they wont buy here because we sell here, well crap on them, I DONT want that kind of customer, NOT even for a $1.00, and I am sure that this post will show up somewhere and I will be trashed for it, but again, I don't give a BIG RATS BEHIND! THIS IS MY SITE TO SELL and I AM A SUCCESS without WASTING MY TIME, those kind of trash talking people are out of my life, off wagglepop and going no where in life as long as anger gets to them, no where in life as long as they continue to trash sellers who are here for themselves and for their business. Personally, I have made all my goals I set for this past year and other PAST (Read my lips PAST) sellers who have nothing better to do than waste their time bashing the GOOD sellers here and so they can go screw. Who do they think they are Gods of the internet .... NOT .... let me tell you something about people who do that kind of thing, they can brag all they want about where they sell now and how well they are doing, but it was their own stupidity that put them in a place to bark, let them bark, the more they bark, the more we can list, the more we list the more we can sell. So, let the rabid dogs pee where they want and mark their territority, we have ours here and the banned dogs can do what they do best, go in the corner and lick themselves.
ok, if any REAL wagglepoppers are offended by my rant, I will personally apoligize to you, but I really am defending your honor.
SO OVER THE BS

 Woof!
Which personality did he let out this time!
 For people who could care less of our opinions, they sure come here to get their daily fill of it.  They stew on it, let it fester.....and finally rage a bit.  Seems like it bothers them more then they say.  Truth hurts huh Ray.

Does anyone else ever wonder if posts like the quoted ones are just posted to get the pat-on-the-back-good-way-of-thinking sales? I know when I was testing things out I was thinking - I'd make a positive post about WP and almost immediately afterwards see some sales. That was about the only times I ever made sales there... so maybe this is a way to get some sales?
