she compared it to Marketworks too. She didn't seem to understand that shopping cart scripts and auction management services aren't venues.

If she's a liveworld plant, she's an awfully dumb  one.

You don't think LieWorld actually employees intelligent people do you?  :blinkie:

Oh sure some of them have amassed "researched" mounds of information.
But the source and content of their research is usually skewed and comes straight
from the puppet masters themselves. (LieWorld, eBay and PayPal)

They have a complete handbook with scripts and passages to use too.
The handbook also teaches them how to effectively use different writing styles
as well as how to "SET UP" different ID's and to
make sure they assign different geographical areas
for each character / persona they create.

When posting with the many ID's they have, they
MUST appear to be different people from different walks of life.

The flaw with this training is that people are human and keeping up
deception is indeed a hard act to follow for long periods of time.

These people often DO forget to change their "personas" over when switching IDs.


REMEMBER IT'S ALL ABOUT BUZZ MARKETING.
And if the "BUZZ" is going the opposite way the "puppet master" wants.
They must ratchet up the marketing / rhetoric to ensure they
"fulfill" the puppet masters goals.

IT is a FORM of FRAUD and ebay is complicit with that fraud.

Very interesting.
The sad part of the LieWorld and ebays BUZZ for them is that

It Ain't WORKING ANYMORE.

So now they are so frustrated they are attacking their core customers.


Really pathetic.

The GOOD news is: WORD of MOUTH is indeed the best advertising.

The bad news for ebay is:
There is MORE ebay bashing via WORD of MOUTH
then ebay praise anymore.

Hence the ongoing shift in the market and ebays
insatiable NEED to continue to TRY different things
and combinations to TRY and regain what IT
has and continues to loose.

See?

LiveWorld was verrrry busy last night.  When I went to bed the thread on ebay had 188 posts...this morning only 154.  :

[xppman]

I told you that poster had LieWorld written all over her.
She's was more concerned about ebay bashing than anything else me thinks.

I wonder if one of my post were removed. I'll have to go look.

I'm telling you guys. I've been studying (reasearching) 
these  mileyazwipe: 's and this phenomena for over two years.

I think I will write a book about this someday.
Sell it on Amazon and become a millionaire overnight.

My TV "get rich program" tells me I WILL. :blinkie:

C'mon folks, can't you remember when you had 17 feedbacks and the eBay world by the tail?!

[Anita]

Darn it, the entire thread is gone!

[iron_chick]

They pulled it?

I figured they were finished after pruning it down overnight. 

Why'd they yank the whole thing??
