Yes. I lurk at the E, they are always putting out ideas, the latest for me was a seller that suggested putting a magnet with you info on it with each shipment. OMG! I turned and looked at my cabinets and then my fridge :blinkie:. I lose business cards and flyers, but obviously I keep magnets. So, went to Vista and ordered magnets with my logo and web address. :carrot:. Today I was reading a post about a seller that just closed his store. His parting statement was you can stay here like "Rats tied to a sinking ship". WP image popped into my mind. Not a pretty image, but that's what the Poppers are doing. Sad but true.

If he had 50 sales, then add in the outrageous shipping for a freakin' piece of paper (he charges $4, over $3 profit) and he made an extra $170. Now, as you can tell, he is out of money until the poppers start coughing up their fees. eBay just took theirs from him, so he has to wait until the congregation pays it's dues to see how much he can list.

Quote:eBay has at any given moment about 150-200,000 Stores umm, try reading their quarterly reports boinktard...the total number is now over 500,000 Quote:I've done my research and there is absolutely no other site out there with our combination of features and performance. Umm, every other site running the same script has the same features. Since you're running an older version of the script and haven't enabled many of the features you have fewer features than the other 100+ RScript sites. As for performance... ...did you forget about your monthly outages? Your uptime record sucks compared to other auction sites. Quote:Many of our sellers are doing extraordinarily well, Based on the sales figures some of your best sellers have bragged about on the boards I think we have very different definitions of "doing extraordinarily well". I definitely couldn't live on the sales I've heard your cheerleaders brag about so I'll beg to differ with you when you say any of your sellers are "doing extraordinarily well" Quote:the fee structure which had priced their eBay business completely out of business. Talk about "eBay think" ...only someone who is completely mired in eBay think (R.R.) would use the term "eBay business" to describe their online business. Quote:Too many sellers are simply unhappy at having the overall eBay dynamic change so drastically as these individual but collective changes have done, making participation difficult and for some impossible. They want their "old" eBay back. I was upset about the dot com crash and I'd like it if the good ole bubble days returned but I realize that just like the "old eBay" those times aren't going to return and can't be recreated. If you want to survive in business you need to be able to adapt to changing times...and if you don't adapt your business for the present operating environment then you can expect "participation" to be difficult or impossible (i.e you'll make $6.15 in 2 weeks like a certain person who I won't name (R.R.) just did when they tried to use 2004 rules to sell magazine cutouts in the 2007 ecommerce "dynamic"), Quote:The world and retail marketplace has changed quite a bit since the introductory years of eBay, but we think that Wagglepop represents exactly what the "old" eBay used to be Yes the (ecommerce) world has changed since eBay's early years. When are you going to get it through your head that the vast majority of buyers have no desire to return to "the old eBay" way of buying? I'd suggest studying Etsy, Amazon, or Ecrater if you want some insight into what will work in 2007.

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I have one of what AndRay's drinkin'!
I (and at least one other) have called out Ray for selling on eBay on the WP boards, and exposed the fact that there is absolutely nothing returned on a Google search of the veteran marketing entrepreneur genius of 20 years named Andrew P... except with a failing auction site. Now he lies once again to the congregation to keep them happily floating along before he has to kick out another 20 or so sellers for not paying for his service. I guess if he ever addressed his selling on eBay, it would be called "studying the competition." As each big store closes, the new sellers don't have the year long patience to wait for sales, and they leave. That's not the way to build anything for WP. Plus, there are far too many negatives to find now than one year ago about Wagglepop when the "Founding Members" signed up. I'd keep writing if it wasn't so late, but maybe I'll think of more
