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

[racedream]

Sweet and Chiquita, 1 13 year old, 2 14 year olds, 1 22 year old added to my 15 year old daughter. And my 19 year old will be home from college this week for winter break. This will NEVER happen!! 

Not enough alcohol and cigarettes in the world to cope with that mix 

(maybe we can send them all to my oldest son's house. Can you say payback time?)

Another little nugget, missed from a few days ago, loaded with innuendo. What a slick way of making a point politely. The post was probably attributed to speaking of the sellers but I strongly suspect it was directed at WP "staff":

xxxx, well said. I think honesty and intregity are the most important characteristics a business needs to try and prove, particularly in the online world where trust is an issue to begin with. Lose that, and your likelihood of success will be slim to none, especially as word spreads.

BTW, this poster closed their store. Remember Wake Me Up? 

Edited because stupid here forgot the closing quote tag... :oops:

Am I not looking with my good eye or is the Breakfast thread for today, Monday, non-existent on WP?  ???

I think all the poppers were fasting today. Its not there.

[Kaboing]

Just noticed  - 639 stores.

[FineThings4U]

Nope, no breakfast club.  Hardly any posts today at all.  I imagine they are all PM'ing like crazy so that it doesn't end up here.

Time for another twisted Christmas tune.
** disclaimer, this is a parody written and dedicated to all the TT posters who basically just need to spew a little soda, or wee wee just a little bit***

Karen got deleted by a virus.
Surfing while at Ray’s house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as karma,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.

She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
and Ray begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication, and she
staggered through the screen into the glow.

When he found her Christmas morning,
at the scene of the attack,
she had edit written on her forehead,
and incriminating delete marks on her back.

Now we're all so proud of Raymond,
He's been taking this so well.
Seen him in there watching football,
drinking beer and
playing cards with Andrew.

It's not Christmas without Karen,
All the family's dressed in black
and we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her email,
or send them back?
Send them back!!

Now the money is on the table
and the loose change in a tin
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched
the hair on Karen’s wig.


I've warned all my
friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves,
they should never give a license
to a guy whose name is Ray
and plays with his other selves.

chiquita, I did the trifecta - spew, pee and cry.  My family thinks I'm nuts!

This is where they are spreading their sticky sweet goodness -

That little emblem looks very much like another one I know.

[racedream]

I broke my own rule and just spewed my drink. I also laughed till I cried and peed my pants. You covered it all.

I believe that is the best one yet!

True...except for H98. He's having a grand time sharing his expertise with all his fellow poppers.

Every cause needs a figurehead. Ray can't keep doing this from a distance. So in my opinion, KaRay has picked this seller to be just that - the front man, the "out there" figurehead. I'm sure via personal email, KaRay has approached this seller, complimented his good works, his think which happens to align with Rays' own, and encouraged him to deliver the Sermon on the Mount in various forms, forums and threads.

Take note of the number of new threads started by H98 where CC1 "drops in" and praises him for him insight, his wisdom, his pure concept of what WP is really all about.

Some lines from CC1 in response to H98 postings:

Now this is exactly the kind of productive exchange that these boards were designed for.

Oftentimes, one of the very best ways to grow your business is to find another person in your business who is successful to emulate and/or ask questions of.

This is a great example of the kind of wonderful and supportive community we have here on Wagglepop.

Sometimes it's a single small change that can make all the difference

Hxxxxxxx98,

Thanks for the vote of confidence regarding exactly what the SmartSell Pro selling environment can mean for sellers.

There is real opportunity here to build your business and customer base while operating in an environment that supports that fully under a fee structure that understands, recognizes, and rewards seller efforts

Karen - WP Customer Care

Hxxxxxxx98,

Excellent detailed observations and suggestions

Regarding the placement aspect, I am going to pass along the suggestion and find out if it is possible that ad campaigns can run only within an exact subcategory, and not just the current "top level" category.

If I can get some information about that I'll be sure to post an update.

Regarding colors, as I understand it they will change from time to time, based on the time of year or other factors which might pertain to the color aspects, such as a holiday.

I think what happened is that our "Find" bar changed from blue to yellow right around the same time the AdSmart defaults were created, and ended up with both as having yellow base colors.

That's a suggestion that I can pass along today for a possible change

Karen - WP Customer Care

Hxxxxxxx98,

The color change is something you'll likely see rather quickly based on your input, and some of our own observations which support your viewpoint.

AdSmart seems to be having a positive effect on sales, as many sellers have added *additional* funds to their AdSmart accounts, a good indication that the initial campaigns were deemed "successful" and worthy of continued support

Karen - WP Customer Care

Hxxxxxxx98,

It's my understanding that Andrew is working on AdSmart and "tweaking" a bit until not only the colors are just right but the feature in general.

AdSmart has some additional features/functionalities available for integration, and they are under testing and development currently.

Look for additional changes to the "text ad" colors ongoing and the introduction of additional features in the coming weeks

This is truly, honestly and certifiably the mutual admiration club!!! And the poppers are just a-poppin with support!! Geez, I could come up with a more attractive arse to kiss...
