Quote: This was my first foray into the world of online selling That is what Ray and other forum spamming BS spewing small auction site owners target: sellers who are either inexperienced or eBay sellers who have little/no experience with the off-ebay auction world. It is also why many of us are so negative on many/most small auction sites...because we learned similar lessons many years ago during past ebay seller revolts and have watched during each subsequent "revolt" as new "Rays" recruit each batch of disgruntled sellers who ultimately end of going back to eBay. There are alternatives to eBay but you're unlikely to find them by listening to a BS'ing auction site owner who has time to spend spamming forums (and you're unlikely to find them by listening to a small auction site's cheerleaders that are trying to recruit in auction forums)

BBH, truer words were never spoken. I would venture that 99% of recruits fall in either category. I was in the second. I've learned my lesson. I'm totally cynical about anybody hyping any site. |

I have to wonder how much longer the sellers at wp will continue to sit tight and obey the posting rules. They have lost sales reports. If they were angry at ebay and the way it was run, surely they can't sit still and get into another venue where their feelings and hard work mean nothing once again. Maybe we shall see another revolution before long.

Here's a real gem:
Quote:Morning All! What a way to drive off potential buyers from outside. Hellllooooooooo seller - buyers have to register and they would (if they are smart) read the share your wares thread. Buy from you - NO WAY. You should be offering the discount to anyone who comes from the outside world. Drink some more and make any arcasm1: outside customers jump at the chance to save money with you. ign025:

Quote:There are a myriad of changes scheduled thoughout the first quarter of 2007 and many added staff responsibilities related to that. Oh, please, Karen. How much time does it take to transfer the weekly numbers that YOU ALREADY HAVE down in black on white on the sales report? One minute? |

Quote:Just a reminder that you'll notice quite a few changes, introductions, and launches over the next few weeks and all throughout the first quarter of 2007:BOLDING IS MINE As you can see none of these are new features. Why is WP the only rscript site that witholds the full functionality of the software program? All other rscript sites had all features activated out of the gate. See Ray can hold onto them and slowly activate them, and take all the credit including telling the poppers "see we listen to you, blah blah blah." The only feature that will cost money is to change the invoice in order for a buyer to pay instantly. The current rscript software doesn't allow this. : Quote:There are a myriad of changes scheduled thoughout the first quarter of 2007 and many added staff responsibilities related to that. OK again what personnel, Ray we know you are a one man show. Maybe your brother helps out by deleting those pesky posts, but come on. Now the daily workload increase, it will take more time to call folks to say hey are you Mrs. Smith?, than any of the other so called changes. The wagglemugs, and wagglepads are already ordered. All Ray has to do is take some photos, and he is good to go. I call this strategy keeping em on the hook, ensuring Ray's monthly income will keep coming in, and implementing the marketing (spam) strategy to reel in new blood from the bay. :blinkie: |

Chiquita --
Wasn't the "marketing campaign" creating press releases? I don't remember anything that involved paid ads of any kind, do you? |

Quote:Chiquita -- They said something about Google AdWords ads too. NEWSFLASH TO RAY's DISCIPLES-- AdWords don't bring a ton of traffic. Many of the completely free small auction sites also have run AdWords--even EEEEEWAY has run them (last time I checked EEEEEEWAY receives no traffic and has fewer listings than our largest ZenCart store :blinkie: ). Press releases bring a bump in traffic that lasts a few days but that's it. |
