Quote:HE IS TOO BUSY RUNNING HIS EBAY STORE AND DOING ALL OF HIS BUYING AND SELLING ON EBAY AS PRINTED442 TO BOTHER WITH WAGGLEPOP.
I wonder what would happen to printed442's feedback rating if WP store owners left WP feedback for him like they do for other sellers? ??? Too bad those who know him wouldn't give a penny for anything...
The irony of it all, is that most of the current cheerleaders left eBay due to the high fees and commissions (and were lured into the WP fold under that mantra), yet they are still paying eBay by Ray's use of their store fees to cover his eBay store subscription, listings and commission costs. They are footing the bill for Ray's eBay store and getting none of eBay's benefits. That's INSANE! Ray wins -- everybody else loses.

"list and list and list" on eBay is exactly what WP's CEO is doing today. He's up to 229.

People are searching on the term "baby nursery boutique". I know this because I often see visitors via my sitemeter who came as a result of that exact search.Â
JUST SAY "NO" TO JUDGEMENTAL IGNORANCE.
Quote:Hello Wagglepop Members,
We continue to have "holes" in the marketplace, with over 70% of keyword searches in the last 30 days resulting in zero results.
So, if you can say 70% of keyword searches resulted in zero, why can't you just post that research you did on the forum????
And you guys did hit it on the head. Bills are due and once again the Mantra of how it takes "time" to build a business. And the blame of how do we get people to stay, pay us money for no traffic and wait forever.
Even with as many stores as there are, it is still sad how little traffic there is there. A good site with a collection of stores would do fabulous if the site itself was doing something to help build it. But that just isn't happening at WP.
Quote:Even with as many stores as there are, it is still sad how little traffic there is there.
Andrew P said WP is
"individual websites strung together with a common search engine". WP doesn't offer much of a selection compared to other marketplaces of
"individual websites strung together with a common search engine" so its not surprising traffic is so low.
Ray, look, a new "revolutionary" trend that means more competition for you: hosted shopping cart providers creating "marketplaces" (search engines) of
"individual websites strung together with a common search engine"..and...gasp..at these marketplaces buyers don't have to go through a tedious registration process.
Monster Marketplace (MonsterCommerce)_ 2.5 million items (Alexa rank 3,340 which beats every US eBay alternative except Craigslist and Amazon):

Shopify Marketplace (just opened last week)- search items in 20,000 stores (free stores with an FVF on sales)

Hey, PS, as long as we have you on the line, answer these questions:
1) Why is it not a problem for your divine leader to go back to eBay to make a living, while many of the sellers on WP who did exactly the same thing were blamed for being impatient, hysterical, not understanding the big picture, miscreants and trolls?
2) How do you feel about Ray (who hates eBay and claimed he broke all ties with eBay) using your monthly store fees to foot his eBay store? Wouldn't the Poppers be better served by having the $$ he's handing over to Meg and Bill put back into WP in the form of site enhancements and advertising?
3) Does it bother you at all that while AndRay is bragging about WP being the best eBay alternative that the CEO himself wouldn't dream of selling his own wares there, because he knows traffic sucks and there are no buyers? Isn't that kind of like Michael Dell outfitting all his staff and family with HP computers because they work better, last longer, have more options and cost less?
4) In short, don't you think your divine leader is a hypocrite?
HEY, PS, ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTIONS! Defend your leader. If we don't hear from you, we'll assume YOU HAVE NO DEFENSE.
