Hmmm...sounds like they're getting ready to require credit card verification and set up an automatic billing system. How else could you implement "

Like Platzki said... POPPERS GET OUT NOW!!!
So, if I understand this correctly (and correct me if I'm wrong) they have shut down at least 30 stores for non-payment or ahem behavior unbecoming?
It seems to me like they are hand picking their seller base. Â By doing this, they can weed out anyone who has ever questioned or challenged their dynamic business practices.
A new registration process? Â It's bizarre enough that you have to register to read the forums.
So, the chosen few will feel special and valuable to the WP community. Â This is all just bullshit from KaRay to keep the uninformed in place until the next Ebay exodus.
There are a lot of sellers on Ebay that I don't like, but I don't buy from them and unless they do something illegal, they still have the freedom to use the site. Â Geez..I never thought I'd put Ebay in front of any other venue, but WP deserves it.
Happy New Year to all!Â
Good job Sweet!
I sell on eCrater 2000 items between 2 stores.
I'm doing alright, not complaining. I use eBay for the the rarer items.
Remember to promote it like you would your own site. It is not a auction site. You bring your own traffic. It was posted somewhere (can't remember where) over 7,000 stores now on eCrater.
Read the boards there, lot of great ideas!

Or a combination of PayPal verification and PayPal automated monthly billing)

THAT's what they want us and the poppers to believe.

The stores are closing and the poppers are leaving... THAT's the truth...

I have PMS and I'm not afraid to use it!!
Maybe - a select group of sellers were given free stores through the end of the year? The last day of December is here, now they are supposed to start paying for the stores, but are refusing to do so, because of lack of sales/promotions/advertising?
Just a guess...

After being at WP, I have learned to appreciate eBay in a whole new way. Â From what I've seen on eBay, everyone is mostly upset because they feel that eBay is running out the small sellers who built eBay and are upset about it. Â While that may be true, and it definitely takes money away from sellers, eBay is a business. Â They are only concerned about their bottom dollar, yes, and one can't really fault them for that. Â They do stupid stuff, yes, glitches galore, pretty much ignoring their customers, but it's eBay. Â They dont' have to answer to us because they bring in plenty of cash. Â Maybe eventually that will change, but not likely anytime soon.
Now WP on the other hand. Ridiculous. Even if it doesn't fail, the nature of the seller hositility toward others will drive out buyers alone. Â But, Ray doesn't care, he just wants his money. Â The proven lies on WP are what bother me. Â The fudging of the counts, stores, sales, etc. Â UGH. Â I dislike WP a thousand times more than I ever felt toward eBay. Â WP makes me disgusted. Â eBay makes me roll my eyes.
Know what I mean?

I don't know but what I've heard from people who know Ray's ways better that I have pretty much indicated that he wouldn't give ANYTHING away for nothing... Â :-\
