I'm still checking but so far I've found 20 stores that are now closed. Only a few of them had an item or two currently listed, most showed 0 inventory. All of them showed 4 or under items listed at some point over the last few months. He doesn't dare use them again. Remember Sweet Celebrations, City Maxx, just to name a couple? Gone. Remember the store always at the bottom YCG Computers. It shot up to 30+ items a week ago and now it too is closed. If this store was legit and decided to start stocking up after months of carrying only 1 item, would they seriously, all of a sudden, stop paying their 9.95? Poppers is this genuinely an individual that even knows what trust or truth means??

Quote:330 open 609 closed eBid's US store count has risen from 680 to 1,005 and their UK store count has gone from 3,200 to 3,793 during the same period that WP's store count has dropped from 939 to 330. Lessons Ray should learn from this: 2. your fees are too high in comparison to other 2nd tier venues 1. bullsh.it might produce short term gains but it gets you nowhere in the long run when you can't deliver on your promises. Hope this helps.

Quote:330 Stores found 330 open 609 closed [/quote] Interesting how Ray's NPN (non-paying Popper) rate is over 67%. As a 8-1/2 yr. veteran of on-line sales, my NPB rate is less than 1%. And I don't even ask for a buyer's personal identifying information and require phone verification before purchasing. Hey, Ray Don't worry, Ray. There'll be a small percentage of followers who will blindly follow you into the abyss, because they have no concept of self-direction or self-definition and base their self-worth and identity solely on your perceptions and direction. |

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Fine ~ that must have been horrible! I guess for those of us that aren't inclined towards that type of 'following' it's really difficult to imagine NOT being able to see the truth for what it is. It really is a sad thing and like you, I get more discouraged every time I visit the WP boards. Still lots of cheering and they seem to really believe in their "cause".
Rat ~ LOL.... at least you have it installed. Sorry, I know nothing about B2 or I'd try to offer a hand. And as far as the store count, I thought D-Day was the 19th? Oh wait, I forgot. They're so busy with the dynamic marketing campaign they must not have had time. So many forums to spam, So little time....

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I found this post today and you will agree it is VERY interesting. E-pet has been a one item wonder for 6 months.
Quote:e_pet_products 20 Aug 2006 22:18 These reportedly thousands of listings were never made. And we are to believe that this store has been faithfully paying 9.95 a month since August for a blinking bag of bird seed!! I don't think so... Oh, and their eBay store is still going strong: http://stores.ebay.com/E-Pet-Products As well as their own website: http://e-petproducts.com/ Here is the perfect example of a store that Ray has made a deal with to keep them in his stable, not charging them to occupy a stall!!!

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Now that the culling of the herd has been completed of all those nasty delinquents , KaRay is already switching on ghost stores. Here's one being activated as I type.
http://www.wagglepop.com/stores/secondchancegifts It has been a while since he has used this one. It could be on it's last hurrah. Notice all items are store listings - harder to find with SEO. He has learned though to re-activate the listings with new listing numbers instead of relisting from the original ones. A poorly disguised attempt to add legitimacy to his pet projects. BTW scoop, I mentioned Ginny to you, and her store mysteriously closed today. Are we to believe she has paid 9.95 a month up until now to keep an empty store alive? And this month she was delinquent? Were you able to successfully get in touch with Ginny for her side of the story? Ray:

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
To illustrate my claim of new auction numbers, here is an example from a store I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
Current listings: http://www.wagglepop.com/bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=398518 http://www.wagglepop.com/bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=398517 http://www.wagglepop.com/bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=398524 Previous listings that were closed: http://www.wagglepop.com/bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=382966 http://www.wagglepop.com/bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=382968 http://www.wagglepop.com/bin/auction/view?cmd=view&listingID=382967 The prices were lowered for all 3 items. Since I am familiar with the listing process at WP as many of you are, I'm sure you will agree that revising the listing would have been easier and faster than creating a new one. Good Until Cancelled is maybe an option this 'seller' isn't acquainted with? And while you are there, check out the feedback this seller finally received recently. Cuyahoga County in Ohio must be the online buyer capital of the USA!! This store has peeked in and out for months. Initially with the same item numbers but now with new ones assigned. Hey Ray, did you ever think that it is easier to track them when you do this? BOINKARD!

Quote:Cuyahoga County in Ohio must be the online buyer capital of the USA!! I touched on this store not long ago. The funny thing is the seller is from Cuyahoga County in Ohio as well. With that kind of local business wouldn't it make sense for this seller to open a B&M store rather then try and sell online. It seems as if there products would do quite well locally.

What are the odds? Hmmmm probably up there with the odds of winning the lottery. |
