I'm back now. I had to take a short break and do the dinner thing. For some unknown reason kids actually think you're supposed to feed them...every day!!  Nobody told me that when I
signed up got drafted into parenthood. :blinkie:

Rat, my rodent friend,
Hoedeeey Doe and backtrack for a moment. Other auctions? Violations? WP spamming? Talk to me via PM. Seriously - contact me. And thank you for the rant. I love your rodenting reporter coverage. Â

River it sure sounds like somebody turned you in. Keyword spamming for an item that you use in a fish aquarium? Nonsense.

Maybe it was Karma! :blinkie:
Nah...Â
No biggie. I've already got it ready to relist. Â

My take on Brian: Mr. BuyIt has tons more AMBITION and ABILITY than Boinktard Ray. He has amassed a steadfast following and has proved he's more than just talk. Frankly, I think Ray's male member is feeling a bit threatened. If Brian were to take his entourage and either set up a cooperative of independent sellers or start his own auction site, Ray would be in heap big wombat poo poo.
The heavier-than-normal bombardment by CC of the WP forums with "pep talks," reitteration of "proposed plans" and features to come, and all the rah-rah from CC about how great '07 is going to be and how wonderful it is to be a part of Ray's self-glorification endeavor all appears to be a bit of an act of desperation. Most eBay sellers took the fee hike in stride, and the mass exodus Ray was counting on to replenish his coffers has not come to pass, nor does it appear it will. Furthermore, don't see too many sellers claiming many sales, either, just a bunch of Poppers "hanging in there" waiting and hoping that after this feature is actualized or that plan is implemented things will get better.
And yes, Bud and the Petals, seem to have gone AWOL from PSU. Once I started posting quotes from Ray, they packed up their thorns and went elsewhere. Pretty hard to defend such rantings coming from a leader who is obviously unstable and definitely not representative of someone capable of running a legitimate, multi-national business concern.

My karma has been petrified for a while now, but that's okay because I don't know what it is or how to use it either.

I also know that I see many current and former WP'ers listing tons of stuff elsewhere. Most of them have quit posting on the boards at WP.
Maybe the tide is turning for many of the decent, respectable sellers at WP. Perhaps there will be a place out there where they can share their wares, their wisdom and their experiences like we have here. I, for one, am learning tons of great information in this place where we can all be free to ask, answer, rant and rave.

I sincerely hope they are finding a better place to list where they'll get regular, steady sales. This place has been a wealth of information for me and ya couldn't ask for better company!Â

Considering it has been about 6 mos since the fee hike, many people are reevaluating their st. elsewhere choices. I have seen some of the WP sellers setting up in other places too. It also appears people are slowly delisting items, and leaving WP without a word. The relocation of goodbye posts to the netherworld was the catalyst that silenced those leaving WP.
Where I have seen tremendous growth and buzz recently is for ecrater. That is going to be interesting to follow.

I've noticed the 'delisting' too. I also think you're right about ecrater.
I need your opinion on something Chiquita if you've got a minute.
Look for a pm. Â
