Santa Cruz actually shares it border with Santa Clara. They are very small counties (Santa Cruz being the smallest in the state) and in a state as large and as mobile as California, this is significant. When I lived in Orange County (over twice the size of Santa Cruz), I drove to Riverside, LA, and San Diego Counties nearly every day to visit friends, and visa verse. The fact that this seller's listings are "private" is a flag in itself. Personally, I don't deal with sellers or buyers who have "private" feedback or "private" listings.
Also, interesting that the number one lister lives in the same small county as the above mentioned "private" soap seller and that the sellers for the three REMAINING showcase stores all live in the same county and that two of the "big sellers" on WP not only live in the same country as the showcase stores but the same street and largely account for each others' WP sales. I'd hate to think where I'd be if I had to rely on my neighbor to pay my bills.
Nothing changes the fact that WP is, was, and always will be, an absolute rip-off for any serious seller. As WP fades, it is bound to distill into more incestuous dealings. It's not a crime to simply ADMIT, for once, PS, that you're not making money on WP? What makes you incredible to us, and why you become a target, is your incomprehensible defense of the non-defendable. The cult of WP is like the Flat Earth Society. Despite all evidence to the contary, members of the Flat Earth Society still hold the unwavering conviction that the Earth is flat. Fortunately, members of the FES do not rely on this conviction for their livelihoods, nor do they try to dupe others into believing this BS. How many more innocent sellers are you going to try to "convince" to join WP as the "best eBay alternative", by bragging about your "sales", etc., when all evidence points to the contrary? How many more sellers will have to waste their time before WP finally melts into the black hole of cyberspace? Not that Ray much cares, since he's collecting store fees every month from existing WP suckers and a smathering of "toe testers" each month for doing absolutely nothing. This picture doesn't make sense. Seriously, PS, what's in it for you?
