Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

[Alskling]

Hey, Overhead. What is your store name on WP? I wanna give you a click.

Alskling, it's  sherrand

I had to resurrect one listing so I would show up in the index. I chose My Sweet Folly.
Okay it wasn't really so sweet!

Lemme guess - TERMINATED!
Your continued and blatant refusal to drink the KoolAid and submit to KoolAid screening tests has us very concerned. We are therefore suspending your account until such time as you are willing to submit to these basic requests. Remember, we are a trust based community. YOU WILL SUBMIT! 

(Or ya just got the hell outta there before they had a chance to send that )

Not there. Guess you got terminated. Care to copy your header here, so we can all enjoy it?

P.S. I see Odekik's Books carries "vintage religious items". WTF is that? Pieces of the cross or something?

[youroverheadbin]

Sure Alskling,

The header read:

We're leaving WP, this "Trust" based Community, because we can no longer trust it. The practice of sanitizing inquiring posts, and threatening said posters with suspension for voicing their queries will not be tolerated any longer - by us.

eclectica, you are correct: TERMINATED!! My post in the Share Your Wares must have been reported by a Borg.

Here is the email I just received:

Hi Sherry,

We have terminated your Wagglepop account effective immediately.

The following as a Store description is grossly inappropriate:

"We're leaving WP, this "Trust" based Community, because we can no longer trust it. The practice of sanitizing inquiring posts, and threatening said posters with suspension for voicing their queries will not be tolerated any longer - by us."

I think we are in agreement that Wagglepop and your company are not a good match, but we wish you the very best in all of your online buying and selling endeavors.

Happiest and healthiest of holiday seasons to you and your family

Karen - WP Customer Care

I'm so....broken up!  NOT!!

[eclectica]

Crap - now I gotta clean my monitor. NO more drinking while I'm reading!!

[chiquita]

Overhead that is hilarious.
Borgs you will assimilated or you will be terminated. "Deal or no deal?"

grossly inappropriate

Posting personal financial information on a public forum is not only rude (and hypocritical, in WP's case) but illegal and without professinal demeanor, giving credence to the thesis that WP is NOT a business.

100% agreed.

Time to sign out permanently from WP. Does anyone know a direct email address for the Borg Queen?  I've been searching and can't find one myself.  Or, is the stupid form the only way to contact them?

And they'll bill you for next month, too, before they let you go completely.  :'(

THEN, you're a philosophical genius, and a gentleman. Thank you for your thoughtful, respective comments. You address the issues and speak to them directly, insightfully, and with decorim. Sorry, I had to say that.
