;D

Thanks Fine Things. And thanks for the laugh your sig line invoked.

There are many really awesome writers here. I feel honored to be in such fine company.

truth and sweet...

he wrote that in my autograph book when I was about 9 years old... I remember laughing so hard I almost did need pee pee no no's!!

He was a riot... one thanksgiving he dressed up like a surgeon to carve the turkey... he drove trucks for Red Star...  I loved him so much... he died in 1984 at the tender age of 50 (I was 15).  He had three kids and a grandchild on the way.  He is very sadly missed.

Your Uncle George was one wise (and funny) man.

There are sites on the web such as http://www.paypalsucks.com/ and many others that are started to express opinions about businesses.  Some are more radical than others, but the thing they all have in common is allowing the users "free speech" about their experiences and their thoughts about the company they are discussing.

This forum is a place for ex-poppers from WP 1 and 2 to come together, to share their stories, to have a laugh and to express their opinions about WP. 

I want to make it very clear and I have stated this before.  I do not want to hurt any seller on WP, never my intention.  I may laugh at some of the things they say, as I said them at one time and now it just sounds funny.

I am only interested in letting others know about my experience there and to forewarn them about what will happen to them if they become a WP member.

Laughter is the best medicine!  Making fun of ourselves and our experiences releases pent up anger.  I don't care where you work there is always "professional humor" that only those that live it understand.  Others may see it as malicious or uncaring, but for those who express their pain and anger with humor, it is a release.

I am over the anger, I no longer sell online (since leaving WP), I love coming to this forum to laugh and chat with a great group of business people who share a common bond.

For any Popper reading this thread read the facts, skip over the humor and you will see what brought us all here.  If you leave WP and join us...then read the humor and you will laugh too as it will all make sense once you are an expopper.

Now I have a couple of questions for WP, which I cannot ask as I am forever banned from WP and the boards.

1.  The home page featured categories have only been books and jewelry and they haven't changed it in a couple of months, has anyone asked about it?
2.  At what point does the homepage become buyer friendly and not target sellers?  I asked that one (along with many others) back in July and it changed a little in Aug or Sept but it still screams "We need sellers"
3.  Why doesn't WP have a page devoted to the owner, employees, location and the history of WP? 
4.  Why doesn't Karen/Ray use the PM'ing system to contact members?  Why can't you contact CC through that system?  Many complaints on the boards over the last few months about not being able to email CC.
5.  WP is a small company (possibly only one person) and having worked for many small companies over my long life, the owner makes their presence known and addresses staff and even becomes involved with clients (customers).  Why hasn't the owner of the company addressed sellers and put them at ease over issues involving WP? 

And for sellers:
1.  WP brought Adsmart into the mix before Christmas after Karay started a post asking for your opinions about what WP needed to help sellers complete transactions etc.  Don't you find it odd that an internal advertising package took precedence over improved invoicing?
2.  Have you read the media page on WP?  If not go read it, if you can find it.  Isn't it odd that reporters, news organizations have to write to WP, cannot email for business information?
3.  My last question....
If WP was started and is owned by an ex-ebay seller then why are the most important features to a seller missing from the site?
Automated invoicing, completed listings, bulk lister that works, etc.

Thank you for stopping in and reading.  Now I need to go back to making fun of chiquita and Cash seems to feel ignored so I need to find a way to properly attack her!

Have you been hitting the sauce again???  How are sales on Ecrater and your website??  Are you still using my second ebay account?  :turkey2: :turkey2:  Oh wait, that was yours first, then mine, then yours.  I wasn't supposed to tell anyone!
