It's that time of the month again but with a new twist. Gotta make more money to compensate for the seller who don't try hard enough and leave....

Hello Members,

Just a reminder that seller invoices issued on April 10th of $2.00 or more and left unpaid by the 19th are now overdue.

As always, we thank our seller body that has paid on time as per the User Agreement, and we encourage anyone who has not yet paid to do so at this time prior to account suspensions in just a few days.

Beginning this month, once locked, suspended accounts will require payment of a late charge and reactivation fee (based on amount and time of delinquency) due to the labor costs associated with reactivation and out of fairness to members who respect and abide by the User Agreement by paying on time each month

I have never seen another auction site actually make announcements like this on their forums, would it not be more professional to sent a notice via e-mail to all the sellers??!!

Oh, wait were talking Ray here! What was I thinking, this is just his way to soften the blow of the next big drop in sellers....if it could get much lower that is! Boinktard

Hello Members,

It's hard to believe we are nearing our one year anniversary Smiley

Lots of new registrants lately and sales from lots of different sources, with, as always, our sellers leading the way in terms of spreading the word and creating a good purchase experience.

It's quite the nice little marketplace we have here at Wagglepop, and we have been getting emails almost daily from new members telling us how good the shopping experience has been and how happy they are to have found us.

Excellent job Wagglepoppers!

Karen - WP Customer Care

Anybody here ever email the auction site they bought from to gush about the wonderful experience they had purchasing from a seller residing there?????

Are the poppers really going to believe this one?

I guess the "weeding out" process has already begun.

Store count: 278

They have reactivated the ghost stores so many times, most are still up. What the hell you gonna do now Ray?

Quote:the nice little marketplace

Nice, yes, most of the sellers are very nice.

Little - most definitely

Marketplace - more like a swap shop

Website In A Box, that would work. I wish I had some money, I would invest in it.

There is shoppal which comes close to it. It isn't cheap though.
I say you guys all hire River, she is awesome, and knows her way around zen cart.

Hahaha thanks for the plug Chiquita! My new site is almost ready to go live. Icon_biggrin

Would you consider a fully set up ZenCart a "Website In A Box?" Hmmm...might have to consider that venture. Happy001

Reactivating a suspended account takes a few seconds with that software. Visit the RScript demo to see how much labor is involved in pressing the reactivate button.

How predictable was that! :lol14n: I am sure more ghost stores will be implemented soon, time to come up with a new plan Ray, you are just getting too predictable! : Smile

Dear fellow naysayers and trolls,

Actually, the 3 stores that went with the wind today were legit and I don't think any of them departed as delinquent accounts. They were:

Vintage Ads Plus, 575 items, closed
Sew In Love, 142 items, closed
COUNTRY CHARM'S COLLECTIBLES & MORE, 31 items, closed

And 2 days ago:
2ndappearance, 149 items, empty but not closed

The culling of the herd is yet to come... :popcorneaters:

As for ghost stores or suspicious stores, they've been flipped lately faster than the controls on a pinball machine. 3 stores that registered this month are now empty but not closed. They are:

Mac's Variety Shack
Lifes-Little-Neccessities
YaYa's Altar

Our dear friends Gilbert Complaisance Photography and Laurel's Books & More have gone back into hiding.
A few new stores have shown up and some of them I suspect to be ghost stores.

I'll be back later KaRay with a few more suggestions for you regarding ghost stores you should turn on. One's you haven't used ever or for a while. Gotta keep up appearances that fresh victims sellers are still rolling into Wagglepoop.

Can't have that Revolution fizzle out now can we? Nono

Oh, and Ray, considering your newly announced source of income, I feel this is a good time to request a small 'finders' fee for these stores I provide for your consideration. Just 10 cents when you click them active with a 2 cent rebate when you click them dormant - good for one rotation only. Activation fee still applies for reuse but no rebate will be considered.
