Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

[Sweet Girl 70]

So post my questions on PSU and see what type of responses you get. 

[Sweet Girl 70]

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? (this has changed, they can now email so this question has been answered)
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.

I tried to register over there, but never got my confirmation email. I *know* I entered the email address correctly, too.

Then, Give it another shot. Your practical gift for words would be welcome.

Aslkling, Sweet's list will never get answered. It would involve digging too deeply and questioning their own beliefs.
If cult-like isn't acceptable maybe ostrich herd would be more appealing.

As far as Urban goes, I wouldn't expect someone who stops in once and a while to purchase to be an expert on what transpires on the WP boards on a daily basis.

So they "object" to the word cult. Then how about "groupies", "secret society", "on-line fan club", "exclusive club", and "fraternal organization"? Would that be more acceptable? NO, cheerleaders didn't seem to like those either. For some reason they think it's appropriate for THEM to define OUR perceptions. THIS IS PART OF WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES WP A CULT!

I think they like to call themselves founding members now.

THIS is why poppers get labeled as a "cult".  Someone mentions trying to register (they don't even specify where...could have been talking about PSU) and it's automatically ASSUMED they are trying to infiltrate WP and cause trouble.  :

Good Grief! 

[sneakymagenta]

Don't even think of infiltrating my BLUE POOP!
