Hi Chiquita
She's such a nut. I was too tired to read all the pages since I last posted so she had to bag on me. But she's a little busy now, you know, running errands so she stopped running her mouth for awhile. And I get to say all this cause I know she went to bed. I will soooo pay for this when she sees this tomorrow! I think we are both kind of loopy with Thanksgiving coming up, sick kids, houses to clean, PIES TO MAKE... we're just playing around. And besides, it was my chance to use that downtown smiley! But if we DID have a moment alone....that would be one hilarious moment cause she's funny as hell! |

Here's one way to keep your listing numbers rising despite a 27% decline in the number of stores.

RE: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Can we get back to the topic?
I think this is a great opportunity for someone to truly post the 10 reasons (I actually came up with more) any seller should go to WP, not only for this potential seller, but for everyone else to see. WHY? Because on WP, the truth over there is REALLY stranger than fiction. WHY SELLERS SHOULD CHOOSE WAG-L-POP 1) Because, as someone here once said, "business is not just about making money." It's about faith and trust. 2) Because I know there will always be someone to pray for me when times are tough or I need help sticking to my diet. 3) Because asking about confidential business matters, like marketing strategy, is grounds for terminating an account. It's not constructive or polite and it's non of our business what WP does with our fees or if it even has a marketing strategy. Ray and Karen know what they're doing and we trust them, unlike that othEr site, where people don't always trust that management knows what's best for them. 4) Because it only costs me $49.95 to have a featured store. It costs the same over thEre, but that's not the point. Here I can list as many items as I want and it doesn't cost me any more. I know thEre gets more traffic, but I'm committed to the long haul, and that's more important than sales or traffic. WP has far exceeded its own expectations and, we have "vision" so I know it will come some day. 5) Because WP is always coming up with great promotions like this new one called AdSmart, where, if I want to advertise to other sellers within the WP site itself, it only costs me $10/mo at 10 cents per click to have a banner ad on my category page. I can get even more clicks if I upgrade to a bonus program for more money. eBay doesn't have that, or maybe they do. I'm not sure. 6) Because spamming is not frowned upon here like it is on some of those other auction sites. Here it's even encouraged and I'm given great tips on how to spam sites without getting caught. Folks here are so friendly and helpful in ways like that. And Karen is so supportive. 7) Because just the name Wag-L-pop makes me feel all "warm and fuzzy inside." 8) Because Karen is "da bomb". She's always there to slap someone's hand, delete posts at will, and keep us in line. It's important that we maintain a squeaky image because you never know you might be lurking. 9) The programs here are great. Like Red Carpet. Sellers can offer their repeat buyers special discounts as rewards for their loyalty. Only repeat buyers are eligible. This is just FANTASTIC. 10) Because here we're treated as individuals. For example, over thEre, when you want to close your store, all you have to do is go to the help section, find "close your store" and click. Over here a seller has to personally email customer care, pay all accounts, have everything all square. This gives the seller time to think about it and maybe change his/her mind. It's the same with credits of Final Value Fees. Over thEre, if a buyer and seller decide to cancel a transaction, they can easily do so and the seller gets the Final Value Fee back right away. Here, the seller has to be "granted" the credit through personal contact with Customer Care, who investigates the transaction and then decides if the credit is warranted. This eliminates a lot of abuse of the system, don't you think? Customer Care can even contact the buyer, without the seller's knowledge or consent, to investigate the transaction. It's all about TRUST. 11) Because it's so much fun to get up in the morning, turn on the computer and share in a virtual breakfast. I would never leave WP for that alone. 12) Because "potential" is really what it's all about. Nobody here cares about experience, track record, or past history. We only care about potential. You won't even see the name, bio, or image of the owner or any of his/her employees on the site. I doubt few of us know where the business is located. It's not important for the owners to have business experience or for the owner to even communicate with us and we don't care. It's all about US, our vision, our future. 13) Because the feedback system makes every sale count. If I sell 5 items all at once to the same buyer and bundle the items in one shipment, the buyer can leave me feedback for each item. Over at "E", I would have to sell items to 5 DIFFERENT buyers to get the same feedback score. Just because the seller over thEre has to deal with 5 different buyers with 5 different items and worry about 5 different shipments going to 5 different destinations doesn't make him a better seller. And if I sell even MORE to that same buyer, I can get even MORE feedback. Over thEre, it still only counts as one. That's because we value repeat buyers, and over thEre it's about generating NEW business. 14) Because there are no search feature for completed auctions either sold or unsold here. This is good, because buyers don't care what a similar item might have sold for or even if it sold at all, unless, of course, the buyer wants to send a personal message to the seller of an unsold item and try to buy it from them. That's because we're a TRUST BASED community. 15) Because ALL, both buyers and sellers, are required to pledge that they will pay their seller fees on time with PayPal, as part of the registration process. This is great, because should a buyer ever want to become a seller, he/she doesn't have to re-register as a seller and we know we can trust him/her. 16) Because we're all happy here. It really doesn't matter if you do or don't make money. It's more important to be happy, have fun and make friends. 17) Because the "Dancing Waggle Bunny" just makes me laugh every time. 18) Because bad language and snide remarks are not tolerated, either on the posts or in listings. One seller's listing for a cook book was pulled because it contained a recipe for beek jerky. That's because the word "jerk" is not allowed on our site, and it doesn't matter in what context it appears. That's part of what makes us so great. 19) Because very little about the buying process is automated. There is a personal touch in everything. 20) Because we love surprises. We are teased by the promise of new features and programs and other stuff we know will be great. The suspense builds because management doesn't divulge any time line or information and we all get so excited. It's like being a kid and counting the days till Christmas, except we don't even know what day Christmas will be, which makes it even more thrilling when we get our treat. It's so refreshing to be part of a business where you never know what to expect. :turkey4 |

Alskling,
I don't know you and don't where you live but you can stop by for Thanksgiving dinner. Your thoughts are so well phrased. Are you writing the Death of WP book yet? :turkey3: |

Thanks for the invite, Cash. I'm a disenfranchised SoCal gal who recently moved to the Atlanta area, knowing no one and never even visiting before. Hubby is doing the eats tomorrow. He always does. I'm not allowed to get near food, because I can be too "creative", if you get my drift. You're welcome to mosey on by if you'd like. About the book: I'm bringing in Dan Brown to help me with it. It's right up his alley. Maybe I'll sell it in my eBay store. Or better yet, re-open a WP store and sell it there, too.
Is it OK to give a plug for my eBay store without putting in the URL? |

I'm in the Midwest about 1,800 miles away..I wonder if my hubby would do the eats...NOT, I would spend two weeks just cleaning up the mess. From the Pooperland board re: 10 reasons Quote:8) I have listed on other "free sites" for awhile and I have been lucky to have 1 or 2 sales every few monthsWhen will they notice it is not a "free site"? |

I think we all were blinded by each other's pom poms for the longest FYI - the last post on the buying board was from a friend of mine, a nice man with Parkinson's that they blasted and banned from WP for asking questions before he bought. Alskling responded to him in the nicest, most professional manner and he ended up buying an outfit for his wife at another place from her. to all of the mean poppers who made my friend call me in a frenzy while he was dog sitting because he was treated like a troll.
I hate stupid people!

Oh, and I do the clean-up, and yes, it takes me a MINIMUM of two days. He is Mr. Kitchen Gadget -- every tool, every motorized, dinky-dong, wombat poo poo thing he can find, he'll dirty up. [quote author=cash1381 link=topic=3775.msg33050#msg33050 date=1164207605] From the Pooperland board re: 10 reasons Quote:8) I have listed on other "free sites" for awhile and I have been lucky to have 1 or 2 sales every few monthsWhen will they notice it is not a "free site"? [/quote] They won't. It's part of the presentation. Ray is a con and a great salesman. He's the Ron Popeil of e-commerce. "It slices, it dices and it pets your cat! But wait! That's not all! WIth your new, imrpoved wombat poo-poo pooper scooper/slicer/dicer cat-petter, you get a FREE mega-pooper hand-mixer. But wait! There's more." They'll never get that it costs them any more than Popeil's audience gets that they are PAYING for the mega-pooper hand mixer, etc. That guy is unbelievable. Truly, I think a Pooper here who still has board privileges needs to post the REAL reasons, as I have outlined above. Everybody needs to see what a fantastic business opportunity WP has to offer, and the solid business principles upon which it is founded. |
