[quote author=RiverRat link=topic=3775.msg69706#msg69706 date=1209854273]
Is it just me or does PS's attitude seem a bit subdued these days? [/quote] Not from first blush. Her post on Pheebay last night: Quote:I can speak from experience that WP does indeed deliver buyers. I often have items listed on half a dozen or more different sites at the same time that are found and purchased on WP rather than the others. It is true that few alternative users seem to want to pay for anything. I think Wagglepop is taking a real stand and saying that they are NOT looking for "free ride" sellers. They are looking for the true business people who will provide the best possible experience for buyers who come to the site. I think it's great that they will be getting in the trenches with us sellers to help populate the site with the items that buyers come looking for. That will increase traffic, and more importantly, it will encourage buyers to return the next time they look for something online. It's a unique approach that I've not seen from other sites except for maybe Amazon and Overstock?? Mind you she hasn't drop in today on Pheebay to offer new encouragement nor has anyone responded to her last post. But she has been vocal on PSU. You know the routine. She disappears to lick her wounds, complains via PM to anyone who will listen that she is being persecuted and comes back after an interval to plug again. If she has any regret at this point it is probably for posting the WP announcement on PSU which has had the opposite effect to what I'm sure she expected. Patch and Mongoose tore it apart and I don't think she anticipated that reaction to the wonderful restructuring of WP. Perhaps we should thank her for doing more to expose the corruption on WP then we could ever achieve. BTW: where has the Dustbin gone on PB? The link is gone. It was so entertaining to read.

BTW: where has the Dustbin gone on PB? The link is gone. It was so entertaining to read. [/quote] It was mostlikely hidden along with the other 6,400+ posts in the old auction site unity section of the peebay forums. At the time of this post PB states 22,500 posts, a quick addition accounts for 16,045 viewable to the public signed in or not. Let the Truth be Told |

WP's nameservers, not the WP server itself, have been the problem the past 2 days. The problem is probably due to a DNS configuration error on the part of the dimwits at RScript or Ezzi. A reverse DNS lookup of the IP address of the ns2.wagglepop.com nameserver is returning gogoviz01.gogoviz.net instead of the 66-199-236-122.reverse.ezzi.net hostname that it used to return. http://www.robtex.com/dns/ns2.wagglepop.com.html http://www.robtex.com/ip/66.199.236.122.html FYI- gogoviz.net is a UK/US marketplace (based out of Blackpool) that also uses RScript [/quote] And now for AndRay's explanation: Quote:wagglepopCC2 03 May 2008 21:43 It's all about "weather" you believe this or not.

Any guesses as to how long it will take Ray to finish loading up all his dropshipped items, and then turn around and try and sell WP on Ebay?

Wagglepop's Ray and Ethical Technologies' Scott: Separated at Birth?
amy Wrote:PS Poppers A. bad weather doesn't effect data centers or the data center's peering partners (upstream providers) either; B. WP's server is located in a data center about 2 miles from me in lower Manhattan and there hasn't been any bad weather the past few days. Ray isn't the first conman to use the weather as an excuse for a server outage. He also isn't the first idiot to claim "bad weather" when the weatherman said otherwise. Remember drugged out Scott from Ethical's posts on the PeSA board 2 years ago? Scott S.

But please understand that recent changes may leave some of us old-timers and long-time supporters in a less than 30 day crunch... we aren't all bitter or angry, just very, very sad and disappointed and scared about the amount of work ahead of us. I'm just reaching out to my family on this site. I in no way want to attack your decisions or need to take the direction you are taking. But please respect me as a long-time, loyal member just reaching out to my friends to try and figure out any way to negotiate the changes or make a graceful exit. |

Did the InventoryDirect bulklister have the ability to backup listings? If it did it may have been taken out of service in order to discourage sellers with a large number of listings from leaving. If that seller doesn't have a backup of her listings there is no way she'll be able to manually copy almost 5000 listings before the new fees kick in. edited to add: boinktard Ray deleted her post already. |

Scroll down to the last 2 posts left on 5/2 and 5/3. A WP Founding Member is lashing out at WP and its management. The complaints: fee hike, crappy site search, buyer unfriendly checkout, WP blaming sellers for everything, deleted posts, and on and on:
