Pay it forward.
Basically it works like this, Alskling:
I put an item up for auction at 1 penny with a BIN. Â You "buy" it, but I adjust the invoice so you don't actually pay for it. Â I ship the item to you and then you choose one of your items to put in a PIF "auction".
It boils down to shipping crap that nobody want to one another for nothing.

Hello Members,
Less than one week until the official Wagglepop Grand Opening!
We will have a separate post before then to discuss what to expect, how best to prepare, and how those who would like to help can do so on that day.
We will have lots of new members with questions and likely needing general assistance, so any help we can receive on the boards on that day from our existing membership will be much appreciated
Thursday, March 1st is only the beginning. The Grand Opening promotions will continue for six full months through September 1st!
We are as excited as can be and are looking forward to the big day as much as membership is

Dream on, KaRay. Lots of new members....what did you do, call all of your second and third cousins?
Why oh why must this ridiculous travesty carry on for 6 months?
You have not killed the slime thread, therefore encouraging sellers to buy from sellers and pad their feedback. How long do you think they are going to "slime" each other, pay you store and FVF's and keep on poppin'? Oh, wait, I forgot, you don't think it matters to buyers who feedback is from. WRONGÂ
Unless you are handing out gallons of freeÂ
, any buyers who happen to stumble across your site and are actually willing to go through the phone verification, the buyers are gonna run for the door, if it's not already packed due to your server issues.
If that doesn't do it for them, the first time you start deleting posts, they will notice. If not, we will be here to remind them of every single one. >
Oh, and by the way, KaRay - you are still number one in my books - here's to yaÂ

I believe they do this on Hibidder, or one of the other sites. The item has to be 99 cents, and the sellers buy from each other, but have to also provide a 99 cent item. This is for sellers only not buyers.

If the advertising (and I use that term very loosely!) started this week... why are the new members not coming til the 1st? What, are they holding them back at the gates?    And why do people keep believing, and getting all excited about, this unbelievable pile of crap?

I guess we can say we're not used to the slow start here (not one sale yet).....very unlike our booming business on that other site (greedbay). However, the fee increases really starting to cut into our business so we decided to move on. The PowerSeller status really brought back repeat customers and we hope to get the same response here on Wagglepop.
Just seems like our listings are invisible...lol.
Sounds like someone was given a very wrong impression of what expect at WP... wonder how long they will last?

If Bidville is any indication, the seller-to-seller slimefest could go on for 6 years :twistedevil:
1 week average alexa rank
wagglepop  =112,593
bidville    =105,052
blujay     = 97,538
hibidder   =  49,881
tazbar    =  35,291
ecrater    =  21,713
etsy     =   2,480
overstock  =    909
eBay     =    14
Please note all numbers are as of 2/21/07
Looks like the new marketing for wagglepop is really driving traffic in a direction. That direction is away from wagglepop. It's pretty sad that when you open listings on a site like wagglepop 9 times out of 10 you are the only one to have looked at the item.

This sounds like Ray has actually scheduled traffic to show up and visit WP on March 1st.
Wonder how much that cost him and who he's paying to generate a bunch of fake visits/buyers?

Remember he can create unlimited ID's through the admin controls, and go post with multiple aliases. No one would be the wiser.
Let's count how many
new fake people show up exactly on March 1st, like magic. As if new people would know to show up exactly the day WP's grand opening takes place.

Banana,
You are dead on!! And KaRay has recently created 'new' accounts' a fine stable of new accounts and there are hundreds he created back in the spring when he first opened WP2. I have compiled quite an impressive list of bogus accounts and am still in the process of looking for more.
BTW, I've also located about 20 'ghost' stores that he can (and for some has) switch on at his whim.
What a bloody deceiving crook. Hey Ray - me too, I greet you!Â
