I believe that any problem that she ever thought she had with WP was 100% her and nothing else.  Same with the other fellow involved in the current dispute.  Then we saw an endless stream of gullible WP sellers feeding off of those 2 posters' ridiculous lies, manipulations, misleading false information, etc. and giving up selling on the best [b]eBay[/b] alternative site that exists.  Now the truth has been told.

User did you almost trip over your keyboard in a hurry to finally feel that you had found an opportunity to seize upon and attempt to seek a justice, or think in naivety that you would be victorious by saying a loud and glaring I told you so?

User do you feel vindicated now? Do you feel that you have finally defended your friend(s) honor from the evil doers that post on TT?
Your above post insults all the WP sellers by insinuating that they could be influenced, or mislead by the likes of us. They like you have free will to decide for themselves what the truth is. Apparently over 750 store owners realized the only lies, manipulations, misleading false information came directly from the owner of WP. Many closed their ebay stores in haste, and in anger only to return back in order to make a living.

You think Ray is listing items for sale in his store on Ebay for research. User he has had an ebay store open for over a year and up until now never listed. What research does he need to do that requires a store. If transferring items using inventory direct was a priority why wasn't he testing that concept when he first installed inventory direct. Why wait until you lose the majority of the selling community.

I have been on TT for a very long time. I have said things I regret, I have made mistakes, and I have always made it a priority to share information with others not in an attempt to change them, but to give them an opportunity to make an informed decision based on facts and not in emotion.

There have been over 700 sellers that have left the site. The remaining sellers who know about this thread, or other sources online can take the information and utilize it or leave it and remain uniformed.

Life lessons, we have shared many in this thread. Dashed hopes and dreams, anger, and finally letting it all go, and beginning anew to bigger and brighter days.

To User and anyone else lurking for the sake of hoping for a brawl between TT members, you will be disappointed. We all have our own style, our own opinion, and our own mind. I would rather post here and have a spat with Truth or anyone else, than to silence myself into blind submission on the WP thread any day. I would rather speak my mind then live in fear of upsetting the other poppers, or of having my voice silenced and my posts deleted.

WP is already done. Ray has set his sights on yet another scheme of one kind or another.
Thanks TT for the opportunity to share and learn, and also for being the best hosting company anywhere online
Thanks TT friends for laughter, tears, and your friendship

Sigh again.  The POINT is that nobody knows if he does or doesn't (or will) have goods for sale on WP.  This is an example of another assumption which is par for the course around here. [/quote]

Sigh. Your explanation of defending Ray's reasoning for re-opening his Ebay store on the fact that he may be doing "supposed research" is exactly what you complain about, an assumption.

Unless he is only "testing" 10 or so items at a time with turbo lister, it is just doesn't make any sense at all.

FACT: Ray re opened his EBAY store.

The why will only be known by him. So if he feels the need for defending that, he can come and say so (highly unlikely).

We do not need your defense based on ASSUMPTIONS. Unless you have some facts, why are you bothering?

FACT: One WP cheerleader complained how people were receiving emails directing them to TT and how awful that was blah blah blah.

That same cheerleader is the FIRST ONE to email current WP sellers if they notice they haven't posted on the boards lately, or noticed numbers dropping. "Oh, we miss you on the boards..." Just like stalking. Nothing like someone to come along and lay a guilt trip. But of course she is making sales, why would she want others to go?

I am sure some of you lurkers know exactly who I am talking about.

But, I am sure she would try to say that it was "different".

So, please take your assumptions and join your other hypocrite friend on your own boards over at WP.

First let me say Chiquita very well said 

Quote:Wagglepop is a great place to conduct business or just make friends. We have some very unconventional and innovative ideas on how to "get the word out" as we move into the future regardless of any fiscal restraints, and we are excited and eager to learn what that future holds. Expect some unusual "stuff" to be happening. Raise the sail Wagglepoppers, we're setting out on this beautiful day to see where the winds take us.

One more thing User doesn't the above quote from the last paragraph of Andrew's (I'll call him that because you really think there is an Andrew) analysis sound like a broken record to you yet?

How many times have we heard these lines from WP throughout this year?   They never give any detail as to what they are going to do it's always a mystery.  It's always stuff will be happening or they have unconventional and innovative ideas.    According to Andrew the deal where they were restricted from talking about such plans fell through.  What is the reason Andrew didn't go into details this time?  Why is it still a mystery?

Ray was up early this morning trying to compensate for the lost revenue by listing more magazine cutouts .  See my signature for Ray's current listing count ovEr thEre.  He added another 14 today.

I can't say it enough how thankful I am that he didn't get to pull the thread fast enough to stop me from clicking on it  . 167 making progress.  I checked everything out that you have posted to the best of my compudah knowledge plus other posts. Then, I looked at his store on the Bay. YUP it's all true,  :o. The ones left on WP are the gallant few supporting the cause blindly and yes, are going to be surprised when the blindfold is removed  but they've had the same opportunity as the rest of us to check things out  but they don't and will feel like martyrs when it's over because they held up WP to the end. Guess who will take the blame?? YUP you guessed it  :cinqo2:

167 open 772 closed

DYNAMIC!

That brings the WP store status current as of this morning. This will be the last store update provided by me. I mentioned weeks ago I would be moving on and it is time to honour that statement. So many of us have bonded over the months, formed friendships, supported each other, helped and encouraged each other. We have all expressed so many emotions that were received with understanding, testimonials acknowledged as eerily familiar to our own and substantiated facts presented here. I felt so confident that a bond of mutual respect had been established amongst us all.  But the last few pages on this thread have displayed some serious cracks in this belief. Never, in the 1000 + pages composed in this thread has there been the tone expressed that has been recently witnessed. IMHO it is inappropriate and it is wrong.

No one individual poster owns this thread. No one individual poster should dictate what can or can't be expressed here. I would hope that, moving forward, if someone takes issue with the words expressed by a TTer, that they perpetuate the respect they claim to possess and take it up privately with them.

So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish...

Sherry, Thanks for another very informative post. I will be sad to see you go, but I can understand your feelings. I have drawn immeasurable knowledge from this thread.
Peace to you, in all you do.
