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.

Alright, I'll bite. How did you calculate what the number of listings would reflect on PSU because you were spot on.  :o

Elementary my friend! I won't say exactly how I do this on TT but I will post it later today in X-POP NATION. Ray lurks here so I wouldn't want him to know how I do it. I will say this though, I get all my info from pages on WP that anyone can view and a few that I saved in X-POP NATION. I can't view the forums on WP nor do I want to. I will post tomorrow's listing count # late tonite again on TT.
Oh, yes the store count is 635 now but more important the # of stores with 50 or fewer listings is still 310. Think about what that means.

:oops: hanging my head in shame, last time I looked it was still open. Sorry Princess, I was getting cornfused by your posts because you still had a store over on Wankerbutt.Â
 Sorry.....
Good Morning Overhead!Â
I actually walked on the treadmill twice this week :blinkie: Wow, that means I did it two days in a row, I am gonna be soooo skinny tomorrow, woo hoo. Let's see two days of walking 15 minutes and not breaking a sweat or anything, means at least 30 pounds!! I could be back in my size 8's tonight! woo hooo!!

Actually I was quite embarrassed to re-read my post. Amazing what a few months will do for ya. I'm no longer a simp like I was in that post. And - last time I checked my stores WERE closed! But I'll check again.
I closed my WP stores for many reasons, not the least of which being the censorship that goes on there. The more I watch, the more I learn. I don't mind repeating tho it's hard to take y'alls info as facts at face value because there's so much venom behind them - usually indicative of a personal problem.
I can't change what other people are going to do. If they express dissatisfaction with what goes on at WP and I see it, I will direct them here, but I will also tell them to inform themselves, as I did. I made the decision based upon the whole of my business and schooling, but I'd hate to see sellers get sucked into some garbage either.
Either way, facts or no facts, there are only 2 (1?) people who know the truth about WP. And they aren't likely to tell us any time soon. So, I advise everyone to make an informed decision and if you want to stay on WP, I don't fault you, just watch your backs, keep a backup, and watch your PP and invoices.
Amen?
edited to add no longer, not just longer
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.

Terry is a very nice person and don't want to get in the middle of anything. I understand that and respect it.
I wonder how many are still open also. I was there 4, 5 months and got sick of giving my money away and being a bad person for asking questions. I just hope the other sellers wake up soon. Shame people can be pulled in and taken like that. I amit I was  :'(
I don't view the Wagglepop experience negatively, however. I learned a lot from being there, lurking, watching. I didn't have to market my eBay store, but I certainly did on WP, so I did learn a lot - and about business in general. Amazing what happes when you pay attention!
I'm grateful for what I've learned. certainly I could've learned it elsewhere, but ya know, things happen for a reason.
Oh yeah .. and I also learned I will NEVER OWN AN AUCTION SITE! :blinkie:
Forgive me for yakkin. I just had a cup of coffee.
I felt like a kid on Wagglepop, too. Like when I'd tell someone what I did - Oh I'm a Wagglepop seller. And they'd look at me all crazy and say a WHAT?
I don't feel that way when I talk about eBay. Wagglepop, albeit rememberable (is that a word), does not really have a professional ring to it. Eh?
A major announcement on the WP forms. I wonder if the falling store count has prompted this.
edit: Well its a major announcement for WP
Quote:Hello Members,
I am extremely pleased to be able to update everyone regarding the often-asked dynamic of site marketing and exposure.
Beginning over the next 10-14 days, we will begin the marketing of Wagglepop on what can best be described as a "very large" scale.
While I cannot discuss precise details of our internal marketing strategy, I can relate in generalities that it will use elements from targeted search engine paid placement, strategic text and banner ads, and some conventional print advertising.
The print advertsing will likely appear in 45-60 days due to publication lead times.
In addition, we'll be releasing our first press release and running a handful of charity auctions. Although we contribute as a company to charities regularly, we feel that running public auctions sponsored by Wagglepop will benefit both those charities and WP membership alike.
Between now and the "launch" of the campaign, we will be reviewing each and every seller account to be sure that those accounts are active and in good standing, and reflective of our dedicated seller body.
In doing so, we will ensure a shopping environment that buyers who will be visiting us for the first time can count on, and that potential new sellers will want to be a part of.
Based on internal projections, we anticipate this campaign has the potential to triple organic site traffic in just 60-90 days.
We would like to thank all of our membership for their patience and support while we worked together to bring us to this important point as we create the future of Wagglepop, together

Going to be interesting to see how many more drop off as invoices are becoming due. I think a large part of the 310 stores with less than 50 , are from people who have left and told them to close store , but for some reason it was not completed. Is there anyway you can figure out how many stores are actual real stores and not made up stores. I would also like to see a list of the stores that have closed down, with a bang or quietly going away. I can no longer read boards.... so cant see who is posting. The  new sports cards,  one sounds so fake to me...
