Quote:The reason people pay to be on a auction venue is that it is supposed to increase traffic to ones listings. Precisely. ![]() ![]() Quote:If the philosphy is the 9.99 is for space until some undefined time. And it's the sellers job to pull all the buyers that would buy from them no matter where they were located then that is a bad plan. Simply because I can post to froogle already, I can send customers to my own site. I can and anybody else can for free (plus web hosting) set up the a E-commerce site with froogle feeds.. Your 9.99 would be far better spent ELSEWHERE! |

Quote:I'm a bit confused. If we are hitting 2007 goals, then I assume WP had plans financially to sustain itself to then. But seeing how the numbers are way ahead of schedule and virtually self-sustaining already, I'm confused where all that other life sustaining capital went that was going to be used to sustain the company for a year... Somebody over there is starting to think correctly. |

Quote:We've outlined it, and said it time and again. We have a plan in place, and while some of it is dependent on increased revenues for conventional advertsing, much of it is bold, innovative, and unconventional. If just "SOME of it is dependent on increased revenues for conventional advertsing" and RaKaren doesn't have revenue yet, that MIGHT be understandable but did he not have the startup capital that some on WP mentioned? And it sounds as if his "bold, innovative, and unconventional" ideas DON'T require money so where are they?? We all know that there are many low-cost and no-cost ways to advertise your self on the internet. Why isn't waggleflop doing any of it? And what's all this crap from RaKaren about needing money for upgrades? With the very small amount of traffic that waggleflop has now, if they need to upgrade already, then they really were not prepared for much, were they? |

![]() ![]() 795 sales which on 100,000 items equates to a sell through of less than 1%. 795/5700 sellers is 0.14 sales per seller this week. BUT WAIT-THE UNDER 1% SELLTHROUGH IS IMMATERIAL!!!!! Quote:Typically, on most existing online auction sites, "sell-thru percentage" is used as a gauge to compare the number of sales versus the number of overall listings in an attempt to get an overall picture of revenue relative to costs. It's a necessary consideration when each and every listing, in and of itself, carries an insertion or exposure cost. Because of this dynamic, insertion fees typically represent the bulk of seller expenses, relative to other costs such as inventory. Umm, in the WP world, besides sellthrough not mattering, apparently a seller's time spent listing doesn't matter either since these examples place a value of $0 on the time spent to list the extra 900 items. ![]()

Quote:On Wagglepop, total revenue from sales for SmartSell Pro sellers need be compared only to total cost of participation, whereby unlimited listings are not only allowed, but encouraged. So if I cast away my eBay think that sellthroughs under 1% suck and instead think like a true revolutionary... Wagglepop participation fee $9.95 +FVF Bidville participation fee $0 +FVF, or $5 +FVF with basic store, or $10 with no FVF with featured store ePier participation fee $0 +FVF eBid participation fee $0 with free store and no FVF i'Offer participation fee $0 with free store +FVF Yahoo participation fee $0 and no FVF You get the idea... : ![]()

There will be folks who willl actually believe and embrace what he's saying. That it's a wonderful thing to waste your time and money on WP, not sell a thing, and simply enrich his pockets.
It's so very sad it borders on being criminal. |
