Quote:We The People will house the Wagglepop Marketshare program, giving shoppers even more choices (in an appropriate fashion) secondary to shopping Wagglepop and acting as an important source of revenue generation for the site
Is this Wagglespeak for "we're plastering the We The People portal with obnoxious, click-back, affiliate program advertising crap"?

And WTF is this?

And another :wtf: :wtf: :wtf::
Quote:For Previous SmartSell Pro Subscribers
  Revolution Rewind Plus Program
  50% OFF SmartSell Enterprise Subscription for One-Year! A $179.70 Savings Value!
  Details
  Re-open inactive SmartSell accounts closed prior to 12/30/08.
Now, I ask you,
who, in his/her right mind, would make a NON-REFUNDABLE $179 PAYMENT (through PayPal, of course) IN ADVANCE to rejoin Wagglepoop after his/her pitiful experience the first time around? Oh, and in case you missed it,
this gracious offering is NOT available to deadbeats -- that should be about 99% of all sellers who left WP2, according to King Boinktard. The other 1% were "terminated" for bad behavior, so I guess I can rejoin, right? (hands clapping)
?

Quote:A. Two-Year Exclusive Free Upgrade to Featured and Showcase Stores
    A $960.00 Value!
So, all 53 existing sellers are magically promoted to "Showcase" -- big whoop!
--------------------------------------------
And, hey, all you sellers out there who are selling on other venues and were smart enough to not get suckered into WP2,
HAVE WE GOT A DEAL FOR YOU! Get in on the "trial" subscription, list lots of stuff and sell nothing. Oh, and did we tell you that the "close subscription" button is an email link to the big hamster in the sky who will first beg and plead for you to stay (hopefully until you receive your invoice for 2010), and if you still want to leave, call you an eBay paid informant, naysayer, morally-bankrupt miscreant, and chastise you for having little faith and being a "lazy bum". Oh, and you must have 10 active items at all times. Any less and we'll kick you out and keep the cash. And what if a seller just wants to try WP and list one or two items? Hmmm. Guess I'll just have to list my $10 million mansion on another site. :'( :'(
Quote:One-Year Free Trial Subscription to SmartSell Enterprise
  A $359.40 Value!
  Details
  Available to members or new members that sell online elsewhere at a venue or using a standalone solution (see example venues and solutions list below) and do not currently have or have not ever had previously a SmartSell Pro or SmartSell Enterprise subscription
Love this addendum:
Quote:Wagglepop Checkout - testing has shown the code to be incredibly "buggy" at best. We will keep at it....
Sure, Ray, admit your checkout sucks. Successful, business-minded sellers from other venues will be pounding down your cult door after reading that, Boinktard.Â

As is this comment, which shows the (lack of) knowledge and competency from staff:
Quote:IÂ’m Marcus here at Wagglepop and Andrew and I spent a few days getting Wagglepop Blogs up and running. WeÂ’re still learning the system ourselves but we seem to have a pretty good ability to bounce back from disaster, like when Andrew lost his password about 10 seconds after I gave it to him LOL

Umm............... Hello, Ray. Haven't you learned by your experience at eBay, including the parade of IDs along with a store name change, that THERE IS NO MAGIC POTION TO RESERRECT THE DEAD!
