"Quote from: Popper
I too look forward to the Wagglepop of the future. I have been revamping and expanding my store in preparation for the upcoming changes. I believe that the WP Marketshare will bring buyers to WP and we all will benefit so much from your insightful vision!
I am so excited to be a part of this new venture - and like a kid at Christmas I can't wait until the changes unfold and we get to see them for ourselves "
:turkey2: Hmmmmmmmmmm......I wonder if the remaining Poppers will be as surprised with this "new adventure" as they were with the infamous "Grand Re-Opening" ?Â
Kinda make me wanna
a little bit!

I'd suggest hiring someone to run your Waggledropshipping who actually knows how to sell (which you don't) if you intend to capitalize on anything Ray.Â

I ought to make a killing! There is a lot of sh*t there to shovel.
Welcome BlackEyed!Â
Sneaky, I started reading that thread and had to stop. I
was experiencing nausea. It's always the same people that step forward to worship at AndRay's feet. I'm more interested in the ones who have been eerily silent. I think their BS meter is finally registering in the red.Â
D-Day is a comin...

I want in on this deal! I want to sell those portable, hand-held disposable toilets en masse!!!!
I'm sure many a popper will need one handy when the new billing comes through as KaAndRay did not bother to mention the higher fees in his latest and greatest communication to the flock.

Hello Wagglepop Members,
During the preparations for the restructure on 6/1/08 I was reminded in "black and white" exactly how effective the Wagglepop Marketplace has been since the May 2006 launch.
Feedback Statistics - 5/16/06 through 5/6/08
----------------------------
Total Feedback: 45,736
Positives: 45,385 (99.2% of all Feedback)
Neutrals: 92 (0.2%)
Negatives: 259 (0.6%)
------------------------------
This is a remarkable testament to the character of not only our seller body but our buyer body as well. People come to Wagglepop to transact in an efficient and friendly environment - and achieve that goal - as evidenced by these statistics.
Additionally, less than 30% of all sales result in exchange of feedback but we will be making some small changes to help Feedback Scores better reflect actual transactions in numbers.
From everyone here at Wagglepop - thank you for being a part of these numbers and a part of what we believe to be the finest accessible "membership driven" ecommerce site available anywhere online.

Good job merchants, and a big thank you to all of our shoppers for considering and supporting the Wagglepop Marketplace.

For those that give credence to these stats you really should know that if a faithful, trust saturated, prompt paying seller complained to management about receiving a negative - it was removed.Â

So....less than 30% probably means about 100,000 sales in 2 years (assuming that in many of those "30% of all sales" only 1 person left feedback). An average of under 5,000 monthly sales since it opened. The average sale is barely $5. WP's average monthly GMV over the past 2 years has been less than that of several 'jealous types' who have posted on this thread (but WP's GMV is about 4X more than Plunderhere's and 8 times more than HiBidder).
Thanks Ray for confirming the fact that Wagglepop's sales SUCK!ÂÂ
tolensmiley:
EDIT: based on the feedback numbers (especially the recent 2-week numbers), it's probably safe to say that the number of monthly sales peaked in late 2006 (shortly before WP stopped posting sales numbers).
Thanks for the warm welcome!Â

This is Wagglemath at it's best.Â
1689, as paltry as that sounds, really equals half of that number in transactions.
Someone needs to tell the faithful to pull out a calculator and run the numbers while they are sipping theirÂ
 Each transaction has 2 feedback attached to it (one for the buyer and one for the seller).
Here's the real math for all the poppers who've been spiking theirÂ
with vodka and can't figure it out.
1689 feedback equals 844 sales. 844 sales really equates to about 4 purchases per seller in that same time period.Â
Now, that sounds about right.Â
I'd like to peddle pee pee no no's and KoolAid on Wagglepoop.
I had to throw up a little bit when I read all that BS on that praising thread.
Amazing, the praise that is dished out to the biggest cheerleader. Makes me wonder if this is the reason that she stays there in poopland. Some people just have to have their widdle heads patted when they do any sort of half assed job. However, she does do a damned good job of spamming the web singing the praises of Ray and Wagglepoop.Â
GOOD JOB! PS! I can see you now groveling at the feet of your master as he hands out your praises for spamming the web and toeing the party line.
Would be interesting to see a Sales Report to go along with all of the fahhhhhhhhhhbulous feedback daaaahlink.
The majority of REAL merchants would rather have hard cold cash than praises from the slumlord.

Andrew has said that they are considering the FB system, and that there will be an open forum on it...you sure don't get THAT anywhere else!

Quote:I think we will be stumbling over the buyers when WP reveals the new WP Marketshare,
Ray overprices his items. Ray overcharges for shipping. Both of which will guarantee a seller no buyers if they're selling new mass market products. The only thing you're going to be stumbling over is cobwebs. :
