That comment on BS about the credits is so bogus. I had no clue what the credits were or what they were for, nor would it have mattered. (I still have no clue what the Karma, teddy bear, send money and see inventory are all about) I post when I feel I have something to bring to the discussion
, and I think most everybody else here would also. I certainly didn't post on SB for credits or any other incentive, other than to balance out the Wag-L-poop spamming poopoo from one who's been there and done that to any would be readers of the thread.

The poppers obviously have no clue about TT period. No clue that it is a "real" business, full of experts with more business saavy then the entire collective of WP members put together. They think TT is a chat room, and that we are all children.
Credits anyone?Â
The credits are a nice perk but I posted here before I knew what they were and I would continue to post here without them.

Double, triple, quadruple, infiniduple ditto for me.
Hi had to post to the article as well. I copied my reply below. I hope it does some good.
I must agree with Lindy 100% as I also used to have a Wagglepop store. I am a powerseller on ebay and out of 3 months had two sales on Wagglepop. I sell at least 60 items a month on ebay and could not average 1 a month with my Wagglepop store, so the traffic is just not there to warrant the fees. There are plenty of sites to list at for zero fees that get as much if not more traffic.
I think many of the current Wagglepoint store owners are missing the point as to why previous sellers of Wagglepop would even bother to respond to this article. Closing your store at Wagglepop leaves a very bad taste in your mouth, similar to the realization of just being conned does. The reason for such is like so many other online sellers eBay has become too expensive and we are looking for a place to set up shop that does not take 30% if you make a sale or not. Because of our experience with eBay and the desperation, some feel hopeful and naive that Wagglepop is the answer. Why, because Wagglepop says they are, but you are not to ask, how this is to be. After a few months with no revenue you start to wonder, how Wagglepop is going to utilize the fees that we have been paying monthly with a PROMISE of something great. I do not think you would find quite the resentment if it were not for all the promises and manipulation. If you were simply told that the fees were to cover hosting your items and it is up to you and probably always will be to generate traffic, that would be one thing. That is not the case, you are encouraged and mislead into believing that you are part of something really grand, instead of accepting the fact that Wagglepop is just a venue that is not performing, and you are not currently getting your money's worth. More and more sellers ask how they are to buy food for their kids or pay their bills and are given a response of hey if you can't afford $10.00 a month the same as a couple cups of coffee than that is a shame and they have no one to blame but their business plan. They are also highly encouraged not to give up and hang on until the middle of next year. Well, what if these people can't afford lunch at McDonalds either, is it fair to encourage them to hang on to Wagglepop's cause, when you can't even be told what if anything is planned for next year to reward the sellers for sticking with Waggelpop until then. I mean why not close shop and come back next year then? Why because Wagglepop reminds them that they must stock their shelves and prepare. Most know that many other auction sites have a very user friendly listing grabber that could actually grab everyones listings in one day, so the Wagglepop shelves could be stocked easily in one day if they would produce a working utility such as this, but that wouldn't pay the store rent for the next 6 months, would it? So to appease their customers they release one that does not work very well, if at all.
Customer service at Wagglepop is very much apart of the forums and is very good at manipulating sellers to pay their invoices with a smile. Store owners are taught not to question where there money is going, or how it has been spent. Questioning anything even system errors is heavily frowned upon an quickly turned around on the poster.Â
So when Lindy says she is just trying to warn others, that is the truth. She and others have read the forums, done their homework, and hope more will do the same.
If after doing the above and you still feel the same, and you feel free to post your questions or concerns on Wagglepop's forum without you account being terminated then maybe things will work out, but you owe it to yourself before you decide to hang on and invest so much time, energy and money first, don't you?
The above is what I posted on bloggingstocks, but I don't see it showing up yet, is there a delay after you submit before your comments are displayed?
Great post PC- right from the heart of someone who has been there and so done that. I am not sure about the delay but someone will be along here at some point and answer for you.Â
Gamer.
Great post! I'll check to see if it's there. You do have to verify your post by an email that Bloggin Stocks sends to the email address you gave, otherwise the post does not appear.
I see that much of your complaint is similar to mine -- the hypocrisy of Wag-L-poop -- saying it is something it is not, and promising what it can't deliver.Â
Gamer,
I don't see your post there. Check your inbox for the email Blogging Stocks sends to verify the post. If you do not see an email, it could be that you mistyped your email address, in which case, you have to go back and retype it along with your reply. Hope that helps.
That was it, I had to activate the post in my email. Wow it sure looks wordy now! I thought maybe if I used their lingo from the WP boards, maybe it would rattle their brains some. I read the forums many times where these people complained the did not have the money, and the others and Karen pushed them to stay. That really pissed me off, as hey don't tell them something that is just not true to pad Ray's pocket. I thought you guys could use some backup tooÂ
