Has anyone else noticed the number of listings at Pop Land? 24 hours ago there were 161,024 and right now there are 160,224. A drop of 800. I wonder how KaRayDrew will explain this one to the poppers when asked. Oh, silly me,Â
I forgot, that won't get asked since you can't ask anything pertaining to business there :-X

That number is still about the same as it was a week ago, and look how many stores have closed since last week

Obviously those were all under performing sellers that were not up to WP standards of excellence with only a few items in their stores.

I know her she does my Templates and went back to eBay. She said she is glad she left wp when she did.

She was one of the earlier stores on WP and a active poster on the forums. I know a lot of people were surprised she left, but who can blame her.
It would be interesting to find out how many stores that opened on WP in May or June are still open.
The listing count # on psu will be 116,414 tomorrow. If Ray didn't open that store up it would have been 115,948. The balance of the listings from that store were store listings and psu does not count them. Ray has more of these stores so look for them in the coming days.

I posted that thread on PSU because I was thinking about moving my E store over to WP. But I couldn't post that question on WP because of all the censorship. hmmmmÂ
[/quote]
Interesting thread Princess, I read pretty much the same information there from sellers who do not post here as I read here everyday.
Please tell me WHY you would want to move your E store to WP? You don't get it do you?Â
Sorry, if I sound harsh, but until you kick the habit you won't see what it was doing to you. Just look at Race, she drinks more cyber beer than anyone I have ever met before and can still type!!Â

Quote:Okay, I just paid my bill for this month and I'd like to add my 2 cents to this discussion.
First, I cannot find this new discussion topic. So, for those that wish to say farewell or those that want to wish them well...you've made it very difficult (if not impossible) to find. You've hidden it well.
I don't like arguments and really hate posts that do nothing but complain or are simply critical of everything. However, I DO THINK constructive criticism is necessary for everyone (including big companies).
I was already concerned about my decision to put almost all my inventory at WP....now, I am really nervous. With the time I've spent preparing templates for over 200 more listings to be added here, I feel a little foolish. I've always been very nervous when speech censorship is involved; it makes me think the company or entity in charge has something to hide.
I'm still not making sales here (well, not enough to pay the fees...same as at E before I closed my store there), but at my other "test" sites, sales are coming in.
When I posted this information before, it was ignored.
So......
all of the WP cheerleaders.....
please help me. If everyone is so positive about the future of this site, where is the support for someone that really wants to make it work here, but is experiencing problems?
This final decision to Hide those posts of people that have made the difficult decision to close yet another store seems a little scarry to me. What is there to hide?
Here I am...a store owner that could potentially and cheerfully provide a variety store which will fill shelves in many categories here (much needed)...yet when I have a concern, it is either ignored or I guess considered negative. I'm not negative, I'm realistic and a business person with 3 children to raise and bills to pay. Daily life and church 3+ times a week keep me fairly busy.
At first, it appeared that you really needed to post to make any sales on this site. However, I really don't have time to participate in idle chat, cheerleading practice, or motivational sessions.
Then I decided to just promote & work on adding to my store.
I check the discussion boards (lurking) occassionally just to stay on top of things (same as I did at Ebay).
I'm getting discouraged and more nervous as I read of more censorship.
Will I be banned because I'm not being positive enough? or are my posts considered negative?
Well, gotta run & de-list another couple of items that I sold on another site.
Signing out for now as
Discouraged,
[/quote]
OK, the bets are on!
Who wants to make a bet as to whether this post will be pulled, and if so when? This is going to be a toughy decision for KaRay, as the seller claims to have inventory in categories other than sports cards (yeah for KaRay - don't want to piss her off), yet is getting discouraged (boo for KaRay - can't allow that).
