Judging from the poor excuse for product picts she has, I'd assume most of the items are not drop ship. It sure is a sad site though. Some stock photos, some photos taken by children (flash glare)...LOL and some maybe from packaging? Nothing is uniform, and half of the stuff looks like products from Walmart and so on. I've seen lots of Carter's items at Walmart for sure.
I guess listing at 20 sites is necessary when you are selling items from discount stores and adding a markup to boot.
Don't forget about the watches, men's clothing and dog toys...LOL OMFG! I seriously have never seen men's clothing and dog toys at a baby boutique!
Yes, I apologize to the prostitutes that I have affended.
LOS:
Yes, PS does get inventory from WalMart. I recall her bragging about filling her shopping cart with a hall of plus size men's pants from WalMart for $1 each, and the looks she received when she wheeled up to the check-out overloaded with them. Although, I don't begrudge her for capitalizing on a sale at WalMart, if I were her, I wouldn't be broadcasting that I sell cheap merchandise WalMart coudn't dump.
She has also admitted to listing on 8 sites, but I think that was pre-Atomic Mall, so maybe it's 9 with AM . She has also admitted to having 20 stores, so some sites (WP, for one)Â have multiple stores.
Seriously, I don't know how she does it. I have a hard enough time managing two actively. But then, as PS has pointed out to all here and elsewhere, I am an uneducated, delusional old woman suffering from Alzheimer's, in desperate need of professional psychiatric help, so there's little else than can be expected of me.
Too funny. I wonder why she sells men's apparel in a baby boutique if she has so many stores. She must not have a cheap Walmart crap store then...LOL
Everything I've ever seen at Walmart super cheap, is cheap for a reason. Plus, everyone knows which brands they carry. Since I don't normally shop in the men's plus size department I must be missing those deals....
Not really, it looks more like sChITtIBANK'S stock.
Disillusioned popper:
"I opened a store almost 30 days ago and haven't had any sales or questions from anyone."
Cheerleader canned response:
"Be patient with your store. I've been here for 2-1/2 years. I didn't sell anything for the first 90 days. . .. YOu can sign up for LinkReferral. I get a lot of hits from them. I can't actually say I sold something to any of those hits, but it can't hurt."
So, there you go, Ms. Disillusioned Popper. That should make you feel a-l-l  b-e-t-t-e-r, now. My advice: go buy some lottery tickets -- the odds are better you'll actually see a return.

Funny, wasn't there supposed to be an explosion of new stores when Ray dropped the $30 fee?
Seems like the only stores opened were the duplicate stores opened by the poppers who continued to have to pay their fees for the old stores.

Quite right. Apparently, the Poppers never learned their grammar school math:
4 times zero sales is still ZERO sales!
