I think that there are some sellers there that are starting to see the light and have maybe listened to some of what has been said in this thread. The same cheerleader who responded above posted that some of the sellers there have contacted her to help them set up a website. Of course in her post she said
she could not help them with that and discouraged them from doing a website stating that they are better off selling on WP. Â

Is that the answer of a serious business person?? At least take them up on the offer, make some money with your talent, then, if you are so "afraid" of people jumping ship (as suggesting so proves you are), then say something like "it would be a great addition to your WP store".
Duh!!
You can have
YOUR OWN website for even less than WP a month!!
Help me understand.
These Poppers are not being held hostage. They are free to go at any time. No one has a gun to their heads. What creates this kind of fear?? It's just stuff with listings to be moved to a better venue. Help build a website for someone=income. Why would this person be afraid to generate income?? If they have these skills, it would be so easy for them to close WP and move on. I joke about my closing as I had to do each listing one at a time that somewhere in the Ray world someone was shouting "Hey Ray, we have a runner!!"Â
So what-there was no death threat, what would I fear?? I wanted Freedom to build my business. After finally closing my Ebay store I knew I could do anything-jumped into WP-found the facts here and closed. Moved to Plunderhere-found what I was looking for and Freedom Rings. Building a website for my homemade dog treats and more. I need to understand the fear. They must know his hand is on the plug!
Wake up!

OH! It just dawned on me... Now I know what Wagglepoopers get for their $9.99 a month!!!Â
!!!
How refreshing!Â
Will Ray's overpriced yellowed magazine cutouts get a bid before Overpriced Floormat Guy gets a sale?
Will Meg follow Ray's lead and open a store on WP so she can keep tabs on the competition?
Stay tuned for the answers to these questions after this important message from our sponsor The Cult Leader Training Institute of America.
My question remains. What are they afraid of?? :blinkie:

Just a wild stab in the dark guess... the ones left (and active) have formed friendships. To leave, would mean siding with us - "the enemy". Consciously or unconsciously, I think the fear is of rejection by their "peers". WP isn't a business, it's one big, warm, fuzzy family. God forbid you run out on the family. (Ewww... I just had a visual of the Manson family).

That's been my thought-when people have a cause, they will defend to the end.
But family? They must be lacking and lonely but I get that. We have friends that are addicted to My Space and blogs. Thanks for the input, so they will not ever see the hand on the plug Â

A few of them were there when the plug was pulled on WP1 and still rushed to sign up when WP2 was announced--and they'll probably be among the first to join WP3.
