Quote:CLOSED FOR SUMMER BREAK, WILL RE OPEN MID AUGUST!
Has this seller been paying $30/mo for a store that's been closed since June? Oh, and BTW, this seller is neighbors with Uneeksam (Silver Charm Liquidators/Just Sam Designs), who just disappeared from Showcase and has been "reconstructing" for the past two months.
More conundrums:
How can one of the biggest cheerleaders (and Founding Member), Tam2Win1 (Berning's Bargains) possibly justify a WP Showcase store at $69.99/mo when she only shows evidence of having $17.44 in gross sales on WP in the past 30 days?
The other major cheerleader, our friend PS, shows $46.97 in gross sales since August. Doesn't cover the storee fees, but at least she's no longer throwing her money away on a store upgrade.
And then we have PS's West Coast neighbor, FMG. Member since May 2007 and the highest lister, who has consistently maintained 1/4-1/3 of the total WP listing count but has YET to show evidence of selling a single floormat. Not to worry, though.
Since July of 2007 (that's 16 MONTHS!), he has managed to sell $6.54 worth of auto mits to the same buyer. Can't say that would cover the $240 he's "supposedly" paid in store fees since then, but with the "best SEO on the planet" and all the warm fuzzies he gets from PS, who cares! Right?
Addendum: WP's owner, Ray, is actually doing better on his eBay store (with half the store fees he charges his WP sellers) than his biggest cheerleaders are doing on WP. In the past 1-1/2 months, he's managed to sell two items. But then,
Ray fleeces his sellers to the tune of about $2400/mo for doing absolutely nothing, so anything he sells in his eBay store is gravy. Baaaaaaaaaaaaa!Â
Unless, of course, one of the WP "Council" member/cheerleaders is getting his/her palm greased by a kickback hamster in New York for clandestinely operating WP from a remote location on the West Coast.
