Store Count = 110
I put the active sellers much lower, figure on around 75 individuals.
It seems there is a new showcase store as a show of faith.Â
Found this over at peebay, you might want to checkout the new wagglepoop UK forum.Â
Quote:That's one way of looking at it, but I also see another. Instead of seeing it as a customer retention problem, one could say that far too many of the wrong type of people were drawn to the site in the first place. The site would have been better off if people who didn't pay their fees or didn't even stay for 30 days never showed up in the first place. They were nothing more than a drain on valuable resources. What WP may be thinking now is that they'd prefer to attract a far smaller number of sellers, the small percentage of the online selling community that can clearly recognize and appreciate a great opportunity when they see one. We may just be a lean mean selling machine.

A study released Sunday by the Pew Internet and American Life Project revealed about one in six, or 25 million, of online American adults sell goods or services online.

SNEAKY MATH
75/25,000,000=0.0003% of the US online selling community
need to lay off the crack pipe Ray gave them recognize a "great opportunity"
75/150,000,000=0.00005% of online buyers
would buy cow dung and smear it on their privates if their master Ray told them to shop at Wagglepop

If they're so perceptive why aren't they Titanium Powersellers? Why are their monthly sales so low? Why! Why! Why! :imptongue:

The first 'We the People' polls:
poll 1 Wrote:This WTP Poll:
Marketplace Admission
To date we have operated under an "open door" policy of admission to become a Wagglepop seller. While that policy in theory has it's benefits, in application it has been an abject failure and a key root cause of many of the current participation and revenue issues.
Please vote and ofer your input in this Public Poll about how you fee the Wagglepop Marketplace should add new members in the future to the existing base.
-------------------------------------------------------------
How should new sellers (if any) enter the Wagglepop Marketplace?
A. Keep the Wagglepop Marketplace as-is with open registration.
B. Require new applicants to pay a Marketplace Fee of $50.00 for entry.
C. Close the Wagglepop Marketplace entirely to new applicants.
poll 2 Wrote:What do you think is the best way to keep Wagglepop available as a smaller community in terms of the Fee Structure?
A. Keep Wagglepop as-is. I will deal with any service and performance issues that may arise.
B. Keep SmartSell Pro at $9.95, but raise Final Value Fees to eBay levels.
C. Raise SmartSell Pro to $19.95, but keep Final Value Fees as-is.
D. Raise SmartSell Pro to $19.95 and raise Final Value Fees to eBay levels.
E. Raise SmartSell Pro to $39.95 and eliminate all Final Value Fees.
poll 3 Wrote:Seller Accounts Credit Policy
As noted in a pervious post, our "100% trust-based" community has not withstood what has shown itself to be an intolerably high delinquency rate for seller accounts.
Please vote and offer input into they best way to address that so we may build and keep a Marketplace of trustworthy and dedicated sellers along with collecting proper revenues.
------------------
What should the Seller Account Credit Policy be?
A. Keep as-is: 30 days at zero interest extended up to $110.00 maximum credit.
B. Lower the credit limit to $3-5 range and have the system automatically lock accounts and require accounts be brought current and/or pre-funded.
Here is my votesÂ
Poll #1 - C but force the sellers to pay $50 to keep the doors open.
Poll #2 - F all of the above based on spam-ability
Poll #3 - C float Ray a loan by prefunding all fees for the 5 year plan
Did anybody else notice how many times Ray said I & me? Wonder if the hamster had to be let go.Â
Let the Truth be Told
Here's my vote:
Rename WTP forum to WTF forum.
