WAGGLEFACT OF THE DAY
Innovations and Features?
Bolding Mine:
Quote:We will continue to innovate and rethink convention whenever appropriate and possible. The internet reflects a rapidly evolving landscape of both opportunity and pitfalls, and our ability to recognize and act upon those forces will continue to drive the features, tools, and elements of Wagglepop with each passing day. As the year moves on we will start to market specific elements which differentiate WP from the other options available for online buyers and sellers.
Some of those elements include:
I see Ray, there is the marketing plan spelled out in bold. It's a little late however but lets take a look at some of those elements together.
First one on the list:
Quote:SmartSell Pro Package
The SmartSell Pro Package (available by subscription for just $9.95 per month) will continue to represent the most affordable and powerful combination of features, tools, and exposure available anywhere online. Included with SSP is the SSP Unlimited Listing Pack, allowing for unlimited free listings, and a complete Wagglepop Store with the entire suite of advanced selling and marketing tools of BusinessBuilder. If there is a better or more fully formed package than that available anywhere else online, we have not found it.
For example, a Store seller with 1000 active listings at $9.99 with a $14.99 BIN and Thumbnail Gallery Image weekly (and including the monthly Store subscription) with main site exposure would have the following insertion fees charged (and it is not a typographical error):
     eBay                              Wagglepop Â
    $3415.95                             $9.95
Ray I am proud of you, you got the math right for once, but wait you are not telling the whole picture here are you?
Always the same thing with you Ray the first thing you like to market towards is your customers, the sellers. That's right Ray these are your buyers so let's lure them in right out of the box with the new marketing plan if there really is a marketing plan to begin with.
***TT posters excuse me while I point out a few facts of the differences between eBay and WP. Please remember I am in not trying to toot the eBay horn but only stating the facts.***
I see you tried to gear this towards the new fee increases that happened already at eBay but it didn't work Ray. $3415.95 for a months worth of core style listings on eBay (1000 listings relisted 3 times). Remember the old adage it takes money to make money? In this case that is 100% true. Ray is talking about less then 1% of the sellers on eBay that run 1,000 core style listings or more and have a store. What he failed to tell everyone is that there are a few sellers that do pay that kind of money every month and a lot more for there eBay listing fees. please note they are nothing less then GOLD LEVEL POWERSELLERS. They are NOT the typical eBay seller or typical online sellers at all. They are what every online seller dreams of being, very well off. They have the ability through there niche markets to control price so most other online sellers will never be able to compete with there prices.
Your number is to low in regards to eBay. You will not find one of these non-typical sellers who doesn't have at least another 1,000 store listing items. Another thing you failed to relay in your message Ray is that if your item doesn't sell the first time on eBay you will get a listing fee credit if it sells the next time. That changes the numbers again. I would like Ray to show us just 1 of these sellers who doesn't have at least a 50% sell thru rate on there items. They are making money Ray. yes they are spending a lot of money in listing fees but the return on there investment is far greater then what any of WP seller will ever achieve on WP.
Have you ever heard of a company called channel advisor Ray? If not check it out. Many of the sellers you are talking about use this company to market there products on other sites like yahoo, amazon & a few more. The sellers you are talking about sell through there own websites as well. Something you won't even allow the WP sellers to mention anywhere on WP if they even have there own website.
Ray, SmartSell Pro vs. eBay get real Ray. There is no comparison. Stop comparing WP to eBay it only makes you look bad Ray. Compare WP to other alternatives to ebay. Try spending $9.95 a month on eCrater or blujay. Wait I forgot eCrater and blujay won't take your money they are 100% free alternatives. Maybe try Tazbar Ray. I'm sorry they charge final value fees only. I'm sorry Ray there is no comparison to your scam site WP.

Changing colors on your site pages isn't innovative Ray, it is part of the rscript software. Adding new features is part of the rscript software. The only thing new about the features is that you haven't pushed the buttons to turn them on yet. Your red carpet program isn't dynamically unique. Any rscript site can run the same type of program if they have turned the feature on.
The same thing goes for :
Buy More Now with DynamicDiscounts
Scheduled End Times and Automated Relisting
Expansion
They are all features of the rscript software and can be found on any number of rscript sites. There is nothing innovative about turning on a feature of a program Ray. It is your
Responsibility to Membership to advertize your site to new markets and places so your customers will have customers to sell to. That is where you have failed Ray. You had a chance to do it but that time is long gone. The members are long gone & they will continue to leave because of the limitations of the site due to you actions.
Ray one last thing tonight. You are the laughing stock of your community (WP), your town, your county, the state of New York and the online auction industry. Get that fork ready Ray & be preparred to stick it where the sun don't shine.
let the truth be told
