WP waiting for the Exodus?  I haven't seen many people leaving.

Nope. The fee raise was expected and awaited by the masses. Everyone knew it was going to happen, so... as Pierre says, "it's only a nickel."

I'd have to agree with Then. Frankly, I think many sellers were surprised it wasn't a bigger increase.

The increase was also limited to a certain price range too, and not across the board like the last one. Its impact on individual sellers is varied.

Everyone left including me because the site is run by --listings fell from 340,000 at the beginning of December to 42,000 today :blinkie:

Oops, wrong thread, I thought this was the "Overstock killed their auction site with their stupid policy changes in December" thread. :twistedevil:

Good morning folks. Mainly a lurker here studying this site for past few months to see how its progressing.
Just thought you may want to know that as of this posting time Saturday morning the alexa site has wagglepop traffic just slightly short of the number two site on the PSU auction count charts. Not too sure how you folks manage that but it did impress me this morning. Thanks and good selling.

Followed by...

thaat your page views per visitor is running at 30 to 50% of the E express site and they are advertising the heck out of that one. Now that does impress me.

And...

Actually I should clarify it more. WP has been trending just short in visitors compared to the number two site since early fall but surged ahead this am.

But according to Truth's graphs...the traffic has gone down. 
What is this WP "lurker" (which I suspect is actually Ray or one of his cronies) seeing?

So how many of you would lurk on the forum of a site that you potentially were considering selling on and for your first post on that forum post the above information?

Interesting that the comparison of WP and ebay express shows up again. The original comparison came from Karen
Interesting use of words "has been trending just short in visitors" sounds familiar (Karen) How many sellers post like that?
The timing of this post and the fact it is supposedly from a potential seller also raises red flags.
Once again it is apparent that Ray reads this thread. The alexa ratings have been posted here very recently, including Truth posting comparison charts. I guess Ray didn't want to post all of the above as Karen.

That way you can say WP staff didn't post misinformation in case anyone challenges it, and you also get to mislead the sellers into believing that nonsense.

How do you trend just short of visitors compared to Bidville?  Does that mean negative traffic? :blinkie: Bidville has been very consistent during the 4 years I've been a member: If you list 200 auctions,: 150 will end with 0 views, 48 with 1 view, and 2 with 2 views.

I wonder if this "lurker/potential seller" deals in trading cards and magazine ads? What would be the odds? Hmmm

The mere mention of eBay Expressmess is enough to make me run screaming in the opposite direction.
