Wasn't the other sock puppet's name Christine and not Christina? ??? [/quote] Spot on Fine. Good catch and please allow me to expand on it. The last name given previously was Romano. But now the initial used is P. Oh my gosh, did she marry Andrew??? :blinkie: :blinkie: Quote from a WP forum post to verify this: Quote: Christine Romano is a part-time CC rep that many of you have had contact with, and we have created several different ways for her to stay on top of membership CC needs and concerns. Edited to add: The above quoted post on WP was made by Andrew Pittino: wagglepopCC2 25 Jul 2007 16:01 right after the "slip away into the night" departure of Karen Morrow.

Another quote from the same cheerleader: Quote:As a general statement, if you make good use of all of the tools that Wagglepop provides for you instead of complaining about them, you will do GREAT here. Lesson #2 Keep your mouth shut and just LIST, LIST LIST. The superior SEO will do the rest.

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Just curious: When any of you were Poopers, did you ever try using the WP's wonderful "Bulk Lister" that P.S. and all the other disciples spam throughout the internet as being the best thing since sliced bread? I tried and gave up, because it took me just as long to "tweek" it for each of my listings than to list each item from scratch.
I noticed in the recent listing blitz, Ray was able to list an average of 200 items in his eBay store using eBay's Turbo Lister in about 3 minutes, 20 seconds. As I recall, P.S. said it took A.F. two days to list his items on WP using its grand Bulk Lister. Assuming that claim could even be substantiated, according to my calculations, if he listed 8 hours a day, it took an average of 20 seconds to list an item as opposed to eBay's Turbo Lister which took a mere second per listing for Ray. I seriously doubt listing 19,200+ identical auto floor mats can be any more complicated than listing 488 individual mag ads. I challenge P.S., Marcus or any of Ray's other disciples, alter-egos and suck puppets to come on this thread and defend their contention that WPs bulk lister is state-of-the-art, comparable software. |

Quote:WP's wonderful "Bulk Lister" ... I tried and gave up, because it took me just as long to "tweek" it for each of my listings than to list each item from scratch. My experience with Excel based bulk listers (eBid's old bulklister) is the same. It's faster to list manually if the site has a "sell similar" feature than it is to use the bulklist spreadsheet. .csv based spreadsheet bulklisters (iOffer, LiveDeal, the late Amazon Auctions, ZenCart/osC's Easy Populate, etc) are much easier to use and faster than Excel based ones. |

This is how one cheerleader casually dismissed the untimely demise of WP1, when the issue was brought up. Quote:a bunch of sellers who apparently didn't have the logic to see that new things always have tweaks that need to be worked out- instead got p***ed and drove the man to shut up shop I think someone who was around for Ray's eruption should go over and clue them in on how it REALLY happened. |

Quote:a bunch of sellers who apparently didn't have the logic to see that new things always have tweaks that need to be worked out- WP1 suffered from 2-5 minute page loads because Ray took Matt's moronic bad advice and used Microsoft Access as a database. The problem was hardly a "tweak that needed to be worked out" or a glitch--the only solution was to shut the site down and start over with a new software platform because the site Ray launched couldn't even handle 10,000 listings and no amount of "tweaking" would have fixed it. Sellers were right to be pissed after Ray had spent months promising far more and then didn't deliver. His excuses for the abrupt shutdown of "emotional distress", "trolls", "death threats", "sh.it in the mail" were just a cover for the extreme boinkup he made when he launched a site that would never have been able to grow beyond 10,000 listings due to the software platform he stupidly chose.
