How true that is..almost all of these sites are run by people who completely sucked as sellers (sucked as in they sold very little): Waggle Ray, Lynette Jester, Marktard, Adam Milbid, etc.

Umm, how many (WO)man hours are required ,and how many staff members do you need to handle customer service when you only have 134 customers? :

In requesting this, could i make a genuine suggestion to everyone. If you start to make assumptions and assertions about any site or in general, please dont any longer expect the site owners to simply sit quietly on the side and find there side of the industry under continuous barrage from unhappy sellers.

Auctionsworldwide.net falsified stats
This shows AWW getting 44,000 unique visitors this month.
AWW Quantcast stats
Correct me if I am wrong, but even if a site isn't quantified, having "NOT ENOUGH DATA" usually means it is so freakin low it's not worth their resources to be measured?
3 years he has peddled his site. He has added auction rooms, high street mall, etc, and can't get more than 1,000 listings. And don't forget the "First ever internet global fayre" he has spent thousands on advertising!
The sad thing is, people like him make MO and RAY look like OAI gods.

The vast majority (63 of 65) of the phpProBid mods for sale on Binarywebs website fall in the $5-$40 range. Only 2 mods are above $40: Google Checkout $47, and a Blog System $59
Mojavelyn Wrote:So why did you gripe and complain so much because you didn't get a shipping calculator... Heaven forbid that you couldn't use the free shipping calculator at usps.
Perhaps Mojavelyn should apply for public assistance if she can't afford a shipping calculator for her site. 2 shipping calculator mods are available for phpprobid: UPS/USPS $5 and UPS/FedEx/USPS $22

For reference purposes so you can see just how little traffic AWW receives - this forum and AWW.net are both 3 years old. Unlike AWW, we have never done any paid advertising and you won't find us spamming PSU, and yet this small forum generates 10X more traffic than AWW.
August page views
AuctionsWorldWide.net: 47,445
TT (forum only): 470,960 (SMF stats)/504,563 (webalizer stats)
conclusion: Like most eBay alternatives, AWW is run by someone who is clueless and all the script changes and mods in the world aren't going to change that fact.  Open your own website and avoid any site on PSU's
"other online auction sites" forum if you see the site owner posting in a thread about their auction site, classified site, or mall. 10 years of rinky dinks, forum spamming site owners, and OAI forums have proven that if a site owner is posting in a thread about their site on an OAI forum's "rinky dink" board it's a given that the site has no funding and will never be able to provide sellers with a steady stream of buyers. Â

It's good to see she's focusing on what is really important.
EDIT so the Plundies don't feel left out: Big spender Marktard's wonderful new feedback import mod cost $10.

Wrong...
Those mods don't cost anything when the owner of both sites sells them ;D
Plunderhere Listings 51,433
PH Listings on Google Base 20,918 (40.7%)
PH Listings on Google Product Search 9,876 (19.2%)
Compare those percentages to a site like Wagglepop which has 98% of its listings appearing on both Base and Product Search.
Plunderhere's Google feed mod must be another of Binarywebs bug ridden $5 specials.

I'm wore out with all of this. First Ebay, then Ray, now Mark. Where do we turn? I'm in over my head trying to build my own website, but continue to try, using Microsoft office. Failed on Go Daddy and CityMax. Can't imagine rebuilding my Plunder store. I am compuDah. But I'm learning and persevere. I have found a "a friendly auction" venue. That will enable me to get my listings out of Plunder, that is the most important thing for me right now. Then continue to work on the website. None of these people care about their customers and in my world that is the number one thing to do. I work in the call center for a large credit union. We powder and diaper out members. They get a live person to help them with anything. They love it!! Yes, it isn't always easy to be pleasant with some of them, it seems people are angry all the time. We win them over by caring and solving all their problems. High standards bring rewards. Thanks for listening, I so appreciate all the help you've given me over time. Now, to the task at hand.
