Poll: Who is to blame for sellers leaving Wagglepop en masse?

Wanna take bets on how long it takes him to throw a hissy fit this time, leaving the sellers high and dry when he closes the site?

I was under the impression from reading at FAS that this guy might have
had some type of DOS attacks and I do remember something about death threats.

I also recall seeing MANY posters who resembled ebay / LieWorld "plants"
over there too doing their dirty work.

But I also think it is a waste of time for anyone other than a BIG player to
even try and get into a OA type market that seems to have already
lost is appeal by the masses.

Seems to me the fade (at least in the US) is just about run it's course.

OMG!! Who is this apache person on the stores boards WP threads? Must be part of Ray's team sent in to squelch the negativity...

Makes sense!!

Take a look at this listing on WP. listing

Why would RR just up and copy the ebay listing page? Is that stupid or what -- inviting instant lawsuits from ebay lawyers? Something's wrong here. Really creepy.

Also notice the pic from this person. That's ebay's photo watermark on the bottom right. Yet the 'properties' address says wagglepop. Something's wrong here.

Granted, the doll seller may be one of Ray's staff, as her store is all set up with categories and all, and that's okay. Just really strange that everything ebay is being copied....even down to the white border around the top pic. Weird.

OMG, I just looked. That looks exactly like eBay, all the way down to the "see more items" cross promotion gallery.

Looks like the seller is copying their own eBay listings. If the person has the photo on their computer, why didn't they just upload the original to WP?

On a side note, the use of ME Page (same coloring and all) could possibly get WP in hot water.

I don't think it is good to want to look so much like eBay. NO ONE is going to sway the eBay cheerleaders to leave eBay. A site that looks like an eBay clone isn't going to sway the eBay Rabble Rousers to list there either.
