Why does that not surprise me one bit to find listings from a closed store still active.

Any WP members want to try to explain how a closed store can still have active items? Give it your best shot.

Race,

He abruptly left. I had a few of his listings recorded - knowing or I should say anticipating that he was leaving. Each one I've access since he dropped from the store index - each one has shown up as still viable and active.

Because he didn't take the time to de-list every auction, they will all continue to show up in the listing total recorded on WP and PSU.

Yikes!! Covered, questioned, and addressed by Truth while I was typing. Do lurkers need more proof?

Hi Angel777; hi Meow, and hi Ray... and all the other lurkers fascinated or repelled with our dialogue.

Amy, Mandy... Any rscript sauvy person, can you confirm this?

YOHB,

Quote:Hi Truth,
Arcane didn't leave until recently. I've been anticipating this move as the seller had indicated to me months ago that they would be pulling out in the new year. True to his word.

I believe he was, in the meantime, looking for a new site to list from before making the break. I'm assuming he found it and wish him the best of luck there; or wherever he ends up.

If you talk to him again let him know that over 1300 listings of his remained active. I figured he should know that he is being advertised still.

Let him know he is still being advertised as a WP seller, and that Ray is padding his listing numbers with his active numbers from a closed store.

Edit to add: Is that why there is such a discrepancy in the listing numbers?

Yes but not the only reason. We have all seen doubled listings with the same listing numbers and so on. Don't forget Ray has stores setup as well. Add in all the ways to fudge the listing count and you get:

The razzle dazzle that is shown in order to lure unsuspecting new members to buy and or sell.

Conclusion:

You can make a pretty picture of a scam and some people will buy it!

Quote:is it positive for a seller to get upset and leave a site even if a site has stolen a couple 10 dollars a month fees somehow IF they are covering that loss with higher sales and profits... for them it would be a negative to leave for losing 20 dollars and then losing far more from leaving...

Huh?

First, I hate this phrase and all of its incarnations: A couple three _______.
"I got a new job a couple three days ago." Is it a couple? Three? Grrr!

Second of all, WTF is that post about? I don't understand it.

Then,

That was me that got him to say stealing was okay to do. I decided to go fishing yesterday in a deep river in the ozarks. While I was there I played with the animals!

I found one listing of arcane's that shows an end date of Feb 7th. What happens if someone purchases it? Once you close the store you don't have access to your account.

How can the sellers not be concerned that WP has lost more than 50% of its stores. There is no way that many stores were closed due to delinquent accounts.

When did the sellers lose their common sense? Wake up and smell the coffee.

WP stores count Wrote:375?

I see the stores growth dynamic gainied some additional momentum today. :twistedevil:

Alexa Wrote:3 mos. Avg. 3 mos. Change
49,209 down 10,397

Ditto for the traffic growth dynamic. :twistedevil: :twistedevil:

WP Wrote:January 2008 Benchmark 2.5% [of eBay's listings] 1.5 million [WP listings] 3,125 [WP stores]

Based on the present growth dynamic, I believe those figures are attainable by July. :twistedevil: :twistedevil: :twistedevil:

All 564 closed stores were closed due to delinquent accounts (KaRay said so and shehe never lies).Â The closing of the remaining 375 stores however will be blamed on naysayers, troublemakers, haters, and paid feebay employees with agendas.Â Hope this helps! :twistedevil:

Then, you're not alone. There is no way to make sense out of nonsense. His jibberish is beyond human comprehension. The longer he carries on, encouraged by cheerleaders who are aglow in the sunlight of his praises, the worse it reflects on them and WP, thus reinforcing the cultist perception, with brainwashing and indocrination overriding obvious idiocy.
