WP's 3rd largest store is closing

doug Wrote:Actually, I looked at WP as a shopping mall rather than a hosting company. I rent space at a shopping mall because it draws traffic. It advertises that it exists. It offers services like security. I may put ads in the local newspaper that my shop is in the mall, but the mall operators have a GIANT BILLBOARD that entices people to go there for their shopping.

These are all things I thought I paid WP for. As that is not the case and I am derided for not knowing WP's unpublished business plan, this is my parting post. I spent a lot of time manually entering listings that could have been done quickly and easily, had a bulk lister been available at the outset (and I had installed Excel to make it work...). At one time I had the second largest number of listings in any WP store, so it's not like I wasn't trying. Even now I have the third largest number of store listings.

But as I have made my effort and WP seems reluctant to make theirs, I will be closing my store.

Good luck to you all!

Doug

Karen WP made an insulting comment to Doug and then deleted her own post.  What follows are sellers' responses to her post:

another WP seller Wrote:Oh Man! If I was on the phone with customer service and someone said that to me, they would have just gotten an earful AND lost my business.

You talk of upside and show us nothing. You must stop these unprofessional comments and I cannot believe you are talking to your customers like that.

Maybe it's time to redesign my business plan if this is what I have to look forward to...

I try to be neutral and listen to both sides but that wallet comment was uncalled for and ridiculous. When did ego come up at all? He is making a decision blindly because you provide him no information on which to make a good decision on... then you insult him.
doug Wrote:Karen -

As an American, I'll ALLOW you to say your comments about my ego, but I will not agree with them or accept them graciously.

Your position about low risk with high potential return sounds good... but I've also listed on Yaho*, where cost is free!!!! It sounds good too, but it's performance isn't guaranteed by low cost, any more than on Wagglepop.

At such time as WP has a bulk lister and has buyer traffic from sources outside of its seller community, I will consider returning. If my ego will let me..
another seller, formerly a big WP cheerleader comments on Karen's comments:
Quote:I have beed sitting here watching this and am amazed! I have been extremely supportive of WP but this is ridiculous. The comments coming from CS are getting far from professional. This is an Auction site NOT a Web hosting site, otherwise it would be named as such so yes a seller CAN expect for this site to do its own advertising as well. I have helped numerous people and even kept my mouth shut on computer related issues where the answers given are obviously untrue, and there are some serious unattended to problems. But all that Chain Man is asking for is a time frame of an advertising schedule from WP. There is no huge secret to that. Your not giving away your secrets here! a simple "we will be advertising within 1 to 2 months " most likely would sufice. The anwers are getting so round about its really kind of sad. And there are ALOT of patient people here who are saying I'll just be patient"...but that WILL run out. I had to close my sotre due to no sales, and I did promote my own store. Eventually its business and people will realize that and not be so patient for answers.

At this point you have a cheap listing facility with no advertising....wheres the upside at this point??

Karen returns:

karen wp Wrote:Hello Members,

It seems I have made a comment that is being interpreted as an insult, and for that reason, I have removed it from this thread.

I was rather enjoying the "give and take" with chain_man, and have every respect in the world for his ideas and the way he expresses them, and thought that we could speak openly in business terms.

In retrospect, that may have been a mistake on my part, and for that I do sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been offended in any way.

We work hard to not speak in "stock answer" type tones, but perhaps we've set the bar just a bit too high beyond that marker.

We speak in the same passionate tones as our members do at times, but I am realizing now, that may not be a luxury we should avail ourselves of.

Once again, my sincerest apologies to anyone for whom my words were unwelcome or inappropriate.

Maybe it's time for me to get some rest Smile

Quote:As a fellow business owner, I'm sure you can understand why we cannot disclose publicly any of the precise strategies or plans we have for the overall marketing of Wagglepop, conventional or otherwise.

In some instances we are precluded from doing so by signed Non-Disclosure Agreements.

While we do offer a tremendous value with SmartSell Pro for just $9.95, in spite of the low participation cost and corresponding modest revenue generated from that, our strategy is predominantly bold, innovative, and unconventional.

As such, for the most part, it does not require the same financial base as would a strategy based primarily on conventional advertising Smile

Karen - WP Customer Care

WTF?? If his strategy does not require the same financial base as conventional advertising (and if it's so bold and innovative), what is he waiting for??

This idiot makes absolutely no sense.  Tongue2
