Hot off the WP presses :
Quote:I am constantly amazed by all of the people who use "cannot afford" as an excuse to close a store. C'mon people, it's 10 bucks a month. If you can't afford that, maybe you shouldn't be in the online sales arena. Even if you just put 50-100 items in there, and let it ride, what are you really losing? Pack a lunch for 2 days instead of eating out, and there's your fees for the month. Another WP'ers response: Quote:Thats great your trying to build a big online business and feel 'cannot afford' is an excuse and it's great you can afford to to eat meals out at will. I wish you the best. However, I'm not trying to build an empire with my online sales, I'm just a single mom who lives penny to penny and work my butt off online to make a few extra bucks so we can eat at all. The 'other' place soaks me more on fees, but at least there's a profit at the end of the day, and yes, I'm shameless enough to say $10 is a big deal to me. |

Guy's looking back at my posts I want to apologize to you all.
(I've been a little cranky lately) : It's not my place to try and tell you what to discuss or post here. I am sorry... I was wrong and the more I think about it. It is healthy for you to talk about this smuck RR and I do see why you are. Your right... how are others supposed to know what this jerk is up to if you don't spread the word. Hat's off to you all and I've done IT and still do the same thing about PP and eBay. So again please forgive my rants and carry on. I'll just get me some popcorn and watch and maybe comment when I feel it's appropriate. Peace fellow TT heads.

Hot off the WP presses : Quote:I am constantly amazed by all of the people who use "cannot afford" as an excuse to close a store. C'mon people, it's 10 bucks a month. If you can't afford that, maybe you shouldn't be in the online sales arena. Even if you just put 50-100 items in there, and let it ride, what are you really losing? Pack a lunch for 2 days instead of eating out, and there's your fees for the month. Comments like this infuriate me. Before I was terminated at WP, a comment almost identical to this one was posted (possibly the same poster), and another seller responded with the comment (paraphrasing). "So, if $10 means nothing to you, then why don't you just take $10 out of your wallet every month and light it on fire or flush it down the toilet? It doesn't matter how much it is, if you're getting nothing for your money, it's a worthless expense." I think I chimed in with similar sentiments and added something to the effect of "I don't understand why sellers here don't treat their business like a business. What kind of business sense justifies paying for anything that can be procured somewhere else without charge. Could someone please answer me that!" As I recall, my post was pulled. As stated on my list of "Characteristics of a Cult" 2) make the converts feel they are working toward a common good 6) impress upon the faithful to be selfless, that they are part of something greater than themselves and sacrifice is worth it 13) have a common enemy (ebay) 15) proclaim that the devout must rise above daily travails -- have faith and all will be well 16) never let followers believe they have power as individuals it is only through their collective efforts can the goals of the leaders be achieved 18) continually remind followers that patience is the ultimate virtue. Should they ever feel that change is slow, always use the Rome wasnt built in a day analogy and rewards beyond their dreams will given to those who are patient and faithful 20) use guilt, pity, and fear of reprisal liberally, as needed to control the followers, keep them loyal and amongst the flock. E.g. I cant believe youre going back to E-something. Are you crazy? And after all we did for you. . . or I dont know about anybody else, but I would never do business with those people ever again. . . I wish you well, but dont come running back to us you wont be welcome here -- hope you have a back-up plan. |

I think I understand yall's need to vent all this.
When you are kiced off a forum and deleted and treated like a child.. it tends to make you want to speak even louder and make you . So I do see.

Xpp,
You were a hard one to break... but you did it! Not every discussion is going to be of interest to everyone. The simple solution is to not read it. With eBay, for example, how many more ways can it be said that they suck and are unethical? BUT I remember when I first realized it. Everyone has to go through it in their own time. Just saying a company sucks isn't enough. It has to be backed up with examples. IMHO |

Quote:greglat123 I just looked at the Alexa ratings and according to these charts WP has less than 10 page views per million people on the web. Then you have to consider that each seller is counted once...... Lets see how long this posting stays on the WP boards.....
Good bye all
Enjoy your freedom Use it well |
