Interesting conversation tonight.
As I have said before, I was a popper and did not have a single sale or traffic. I asked questions and did not get answers. I was told my questions were out of line and it was none of my business to know. All I asked back in August was: Are there any plans on advertising? If so, when and how. Who is the owner of WP? Why isn't there a page that gives information about WP, it's owner and location? These are questions that every business owner who goes into a mall or auction site wants to know and on most sites you can find this information easily.
When I closed down my store, I received nasty emails from Karen and was threatened with collections because WP did not claim my payment from Paypal.
When I came here I found others just like me. People who tried a store on WP and found it to be a waste of their time and money. People who did not get answers to simple questions and were attacked or shunned for wanting their businesses to be seen and succeed.Â
Nobody here is malicious or out to hurt sellers on WP. We are here to let WPoppers know what has happened to us and the unethical business practices that take place over there.
Sure we joke around and laugh, we are human and we share a common bond. We were shunned, censored, deleted and bannished from our friends because we asked questions. We have to let that anger out and we do it with humor, not maliciousness.
Sorry to sound preachy.
 I am just glad I have a place that allows me to speak freely, ask questions, get answers and have a little fun.

"Powerseller...seriously what gives?..what is your bottom line. Are you trying to convince some of us to go back and give it a whirl? or that the site is indeed an honest venue ..and not run by a dictator?...or that the sellers there are indeed making it quite well financially?"
Yes, the site is indeed an honest venue.  Sellers can indeed make it quite well financially if they have the brains to do it.  Everyone here can think what they want and do what they want, but I've provided some truth if anyone is interested.  If not, you can all go back to your WP bashing and forget that I was ever here.

I would love to here what you have to say as well. I would advise you to read this thread from the beginning. Any info that you could provide that backs up your claims would help us understand why you feel the way you do. I must warn you though this thread is quite long and based on fact so read if you wish, say if you wish but if you can't dispute the fact's let the truth set you free.
let the truth be told

Powerseller, just one simple question for you since I don't have enough brains to still be a store owner on WP.
What is the name of your store on WP, and besides feedback can you prove or provide a method that will let us see the fruitfullness of your store?
At least Scott B. was honest enough to come and discuss his views without being snarky. I respect him for that and for being open to discussion.

Sorry Finethings, I don't have enough brains to figure out what you saidÂ
 what is snarky :turkey2: :turkey2:
Edited to add:Â Just look at my catÂ
get the pictureÂ
Powerseller,
I was not a seller on WP. I was a buyer and was considering becoming a seller after the first of the year. I asked questions about advertising, I stated facts that were posted by CC1, questioned a few facts because things didn't add up. I questioned why CC1 was posting a sellers personal financial information on the boards for all to see. My questions, facts I stated and questioned got me warned not to do that again. After 2 nasty emails from CC1, I did not post a question or comment on the boards again.
But now I am banned. I guess CC1 didn't like the fact I was posting my opinions here about WP.Â
CC1. If you can't ask questions about business matters and ask why financial information is posted by CC without getting your hand slapped, your posts deleted, and have the cheerleaders trash talk you with no reprimand from CC1, that is not a place I will pay to sell my products.
I just sold $100 worth of my products this weekend. ALL of the money from the sales went to me and only meÂ

I don't have snarky brains? :blinkie:

If I only had a brain, why I would?Â

That is great and I am happy for this person you have told us about. A few more question's though.
Have you made any money on WP?
Can you name 5 more people that are making this $600.00 every few weeks?
Has this person done this $600.00 every month?
Has anyone that you know of done this for 4 months straight?
Actually you did not provide any truth to much of anything you have said or not said.....someone earlier ask you some questions which....you did not answer...see above...
As for brains...well ...we at TT are nice toward one another "the brains to do it" is kinda condensending...However, I wish you well...obviously you are a sect member and I for one won't waste my time trying to conform you. One day..when your own brain awakes....you will understand. Until then...happy poppin!
My sales have indeed gone down recently because I am sitting here posting instead of working....and just about getting ready to get all my IRS tax stuff in order as I am a little disorganized and have to start early.. My sales on WP were non existant...but I am now 9.99 richer each month....and I totally disagree with you my experience, inteligence, the facts and listening to other people that have been there and done it tell me WP is NOT an honest site... I am a very experienced seller and a pretty smart one too...and I was not always an seller. I am not a gambler either but....I will put my money where my mouth is and bet you double what you made this month that I am right ....and you are wrong...
Sorry SweetGirl,
Snarky is a word we use in Texas that is a cross between gnarly and skanky.
;D
