Quote:The absolute most critical component of building WP for the future is to be able to attract daily traffic to the site. We recognize that and understand that fully.

Ray, if you need a professional copyeditor, please contact me. There's nothing more unprofessional than a poorly written official announcement with 3rd-grade grammar.

Absolutely super duper critically authentically true. Like.

Does anyone know what is being said at Pop Land regarding Ray's 'coming out'?

Just the usual cheerleading, nice to hear from you Ray, you are great, you are brave, you are inspiring, thanks for telling us all these details... Mblah05

But actually there are fewer responses (to Karen's announcement that the new newsletter had been posted) than I expected.

For what it's worth (and I'm not defending WP here), I have had almost 200 sales since joining WP. Most were to NON-WP sellers, meaning that they had to register to buy. Only about 25% of my buyers actually figured out how to leave feedback. I don't beg for it, or feel that I have to send a site instruction manual to every buyer.
Bottom line is this: the site is not user friendly to the newbies. Several have told me that they HATE the new phone verification system. Store searches don't always work lately.

The end is near !

Quote:Our current retention rate for Stores is 73.2% net, which is about what was expected to this point in our life cycle.

Wouldn't that be "end of life cycle"?
Isn't it DYNAMIC wagglethink

You are correct that the site isn't buyer friendly accept for one type of buyer. Ray's buyer's. The site has screamed $9.95 a month for way too long. The only buyers it is friendly to is the sellers. Ray wants it that way and that will never change. I never understood why a buyer has to pledge to pay there selling fees every month no later then the 19th when they aren't selling a single thing.

Quote:The end is near !

This is a fact and all it will take is for Ray to kick out one particular seller. Once he is gone most of the sellers who aren't inside the circle of trust will follow him to bigger and better things. The end of WP may be only days, hours or minutes away. The only reason why Ray hasn't pulled the plug on this store yet is because of his greed. Ray knows he won't be able to suvive the masses leaving anymore. The store count is way too low as it is.

OK Truth, now I'm very curious. Who is "the chosen one" ? That "one particular seller" that you mentioned?

BTW, Thanks to all who have been sending Karma my way Smile
