methinks Ray is here.....knows what's going to happen before it happens.  Maybe he's just psychotic,  oops psychic.

Well, it has been said before that Ray is probably reading the boards.  Of course, SB posted the other night on a board so I know he is back.  He could be over here lurking and tattling on us.

FineThings4U, I agree with you. I was just thinking that and was getting ready to post that when I read your post. That post wasn't up long enough for Karen to just happen to see it.

Check my most recent post. Don't want it buried.

P.S. I remember the Hustle, AND the Twist, AND the Stroll, AND the Pony. OMG!

Alskling I read your last post and I guess I missed this the first time around.  I remember as much and some that I don't think I am suppose to remember, 

[racedream]

SB is posting daily on the share your wares threads. But he has been awfully quiet otherwise. I was ready for him to blast me for some of the posts I made, but not a peep from him. Wonder if he is seeing the light after reading the posts here.

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.

That is just cruel making us remember the hustle.

It is strange that you posted something there with your account, You got banned (which doesn't surprise me one bit since you posted the truth and they can't handle the truth) , then they banned your husbands account too.

I got this feeling someone's watching this thread closely
