Poll: Who is to blame for sellers leaving Wagglepop en masse?

Alskling · 02-27-2009, 11:15 PM,

Sure, there's no problem with WP invoicing Happy001

From a new, BUYER on the boards. You heard me right. Buyer:

"I bought a jewelry set from a new seller. It has been 24 hours. I sent an message to the email address through the confirmation of purchase. Later I sent another message through Wagglepop. Do you think this person wasn't ready for the sale yet? ... Or maybe she doesn't know how to send an invoice. Geez ... if I made a sale I'd be jumping on it and doing what needs to be done faster than a speeding bullet."

And how does WP's Numero Uno cheerleader respond?

"She may be trying to figure out how to send an invoice or she may not be aware she has to send the invoice for sales on Wagglepop."

Good job, Tammy -- instead of pointing the finger where it should be pointed -- AT WP'S
CRAPPY, INEFFICIENT, BUYER-UNFRIENDLY INVOICING SYSTEM --a problem since day one -- make the seller look like an idiot in the eyes of the buyer instead.

Let's see...
Didn't Karen (MPD1) say it was in the works in 2006?
Didn't Andrew (MPD2) say it was in the works in 2007, 2008, and then again in January?

4 years, no results. Meanwhile, PHPProBid sites have had it all that time. That's sad to be beat out by FREE PHPProBid sites Ray.

Paying for Google Adwords to drive traffic to your WP store is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE A FRIGGIN' HOLE IN YOUR HEAD!!! BangHead

Wait, there's another cheerleader left in Poopland Wrote:[WP seller] will deposit $20.00 into your PayPal account plus a Free Surprise Gift, if you can reach 1000 new listings showing by March 10th. I know we have some stores on the first and second page that can make this mark.

Only on WP... BangHead

Does 1000 penny auctions for 1 cent qualify?

So if I buy something from WP, I have to wait for an invoice. dumbt dah dah

No wonder there aren't any sales. Buyers don't go for that sht. They want to checkout right away. Do they have to hand write their receipts as well...LOL

Of course, all the Koolaid-drugged are congratulating "WP Seller" for the magnanimous offer, although none of the devout have said they are able to accept the challenge. Their echos of praise sound curiously similar to the sound of one hand clapping.

Platzki · 03-04-2009, 11:47 AM,

If they're giving out money, they can send ME the $20 bucks!!! Tool

New post:

"Hi everyone
I have posted some want ads. No one has responded, so I don't know if anyone has seen them."

OMG! How can Poopers possibly think that they'll ever get traffic (or sales) when their own loyal brethren aren't even bothering to respond to their buying requests?

Alskling · 03-10-2009, 05:32 PM,

And for all your new Poopers who don't hang out on the yawner WP boards, but should happen to cruise over to TT:

Quote:Hello Wagglepop members,
We have been notified of an intermittent issue affecting the seller account balances for some members who have entered the Wagglepop Marketplace under the one-year free trial promotion.

Some members are incorrectly having the normal non-trial $29.95 monthly subscription posted to their accounts for the last 30 day period.

What a pee-poor, rinky-dink outfit. ANdRay can't even correctly invoice a mere 50 or so PAYING MEMBERS! Sign10

Is it time for this speech again? :twistedevil:

Within hours, I will be closing Wagglepop for good, and forever.

The servers will be shut down, and all drives reformatted, destroying any and all personal data.

No one owes a single penny.

This whole idea started simply because of people, and my faith in them, and my desire to make a difference.

Now, it's people that have left me no other choice but to shut it down.

What started out as an interesting challenge has instead become the most painful, personal few months of my life, and my confidence in what I believed about faith and humanity are shaken and shattered..... perhaps forever.

To those who supported me, I cannot express enough how proud I am of the journey we took together, and how much your support and kind words have meant through the longest of days and nights.

I will be forever grateful, and carry it with me always.

To those who most assuredly have not supported me, or Wagglepop...... Who have day after day, minute by minute done everything possible to destroy the site...... I have but a few words:

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

If I live a hundred more years before I encounter such morally bankrupt miscreants again, it will be a day too soon.

Ultimately, the only eyes that need judge us that count are two: our own, and those of God.

In both regards I am clear as to what I have accomplished, and had worked so very hard for, and in that, I find my only necessary redemption.

I'm looking forward now to walking away from this interesting online experience, away from my computers, away from the judging eyes of anonymity.....and feeling the grass on my feet and the sun on my face again.

I'm going back to the 'real world', where people look you in the eye when they speak to you, where "please" and "thank you" are heard, and where simple decent behavior and effort are appreciated, and rewarded.

Farewell, and Good Luck.

Rest in Peace, Wagglepop...... We hardly knew ya.
