Store count = 213
Just a reminder for all those wishing to get out of poopland. It is best to close all your listing before you tell raytardo to shove it. without doing so may result in your listings remaining active for months on end without the ability to correspond with potential buyers. Take it from me, my biggest sale at WP took place 2 days after my store was terminated.
Hey RayÂ
Let the Truth be Told
User saidÂÂ
If sellers who sell at a Gold or Platinum Powerseller level anywhere put the same level of effort into Wagglepop I would expect 100% of them to make comparable sales on Wagglepop. Not within the first few months but certainly within a couple of years or less..ÂÂ
Well here's more proof that User is full of wombat poo poo and WP doesn't have many buyers. The quote is from
a post that bashes PSU, TT, TCH, and Plunderhere and its former owner.
Quote:I probably get about 2 sales a month on Plunderhere, verses my 60+ sales that I get per month in my Wagglepop store.
60 sales = under $300 monthly gross after 2 years of selling on WP and she's one of WP's top sellers.
It's been 2 years since WP opened. According to User 100% of the Founding Members should be making what they did on eBay by now. Why aren't they? Could it be because User was full of wombat poo poo?ÂÂ
How can Ray justify charging $29.95 when nobody on the site is making any money because Ray doesn't advertise the site? Why are sellers willing to be conned by him?ÂÂ

I think it's the difference between being a business and being a hobby seller (or cult member). Hell, if I got to be a stay-at-home mommy and had a hubby that was pulling in a tidy lil salary with benefits, I'd probably be a WP cheerleader, too. Or, if I got to live off the state and was using my internet income for extra spending money - sure!
I'm sorry Rah-Rahs, but I have YET to see anyone on WP show enough sales that would buy me groceries for a month let alone pay all of my bills. I'm a single mom with NO child support, NO alimony and NO assistance. Whatcha gonna give me? Hugs and warm fuzzies when my power or gas gets shut off?
Ugh. Sorry for the rant, but I'm so sick of these people. (Ok, and I'm a little cranky today)Â

The blog itself makes you want to see what all the ‘bashing’ is about. The blog itself is counterproductive to WPs success. LOL Oh wizard (yes you who zaps all things negative) might want to work your magic zap on the wagglepop blog!
WP is kinda strange with its quiet store streets, vacant shops, magically disappearing posts / threads and its spin the bottle search.Â

That's not surprising considering WP's lack of traffic.
I'll repost this chart here for Poppers who are looking for a new home.  If you pick a site with no traffic you can expect your sales to SUCK so avoid the sites near the bottom if you rely on online sales to pay your bills.

I don't think she even said these sales came from WP. And didn't FMG come on the boards here and brag about his sales, yet shows no evidence whatsoever of having any since listing over 20,000 items a year ago. USER did the same thing, yet refused to tell us what his store name is or what he sells -- that's how proud HE is of his sales.
The whole site is lies, deception, and smoke and mirrors, mixed with one big, smelly pile of wombat poo poo from the master poo-poo maker.
Current store count: 211 and shrinking

Hope you all enjoyed your day!!!Â
Humor in two Thursday posts at Pheebay:
1. DRM joined as Monster and extolled the virtues of dropshipping.
2. DRM and PS, who posted minutes after DRM, are convinced Macy's and Sears will be opening stores on WP.
