My favorite line when cancelling a WP listing:

Quote:Ending a listing early, retracting a bid or canceling a sale is serious. Please use only when absolutely necessary, and with good reason.

Is a good reason that I'm getting the 7734 out of dodge?

I have a favor to ask of someone who has access to the WP forums. Could somebody please go find the first few posts that were ever made by Karen wagglepop cc1 and post them in this thread. I am exploring a new angle in my free time. Loads of fun and laughs to come with this one.

Hello,

I'd like to assure everyone there is an extrememly comprehensive plan in place to address that particular dynamic which is so critical to any online retail site, but particularly online auction site, regarding buyers and sellers.

It provides for both short-term and long-term solutions, but there needs to be some level of activity established in order to finalize some of the implementations, many of which are by partnership or affiliate agreement. Some of the plans are restricted from discussion by signed non-disclosure agreements.

Speaking in generalities, I can say that while some of the plans and contingencies are safe and conventional, many are truly bold and innovative.

Overall, applying ordinary solutions in extraordinary circumstances simply won't work.

Some of the existing competitors to the current largest online auction site have thrown ungodly amounts of money at the issue, with virtually no results whatsoever.

Money alone is not the answer.

As time goes by, we'll be implementing parts of the overall plan as made appropriate by the state of the site, and as the site grows, it will support other and different implementations.

We'll get there, just not all at once.

hi lbbooks,

Wagglepop items have been getting tremendous and even higher than anticipated relevance rankings in Froogle results based on a random but representative sampling.

As an example, check out the results from this relatively non-specific but brand name based Froogle search:

Candi Doll

I think you'll be pleased with your Froogle placement

hi xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

It can take some time for Froogle to recognize your listings.

Right now, we have 2909 items indexed on Froogle

Keep a close eye on Froogle, and I'm sure your listings should appear relatively soon.

Michel,

Welcome to Wagglepop. We are honored to have you join us

I think much of what you mention regarding our need to re-launch can be attributed to inexperience.

I can assure you, while a compelling and worthy project, it is most assuredly a larger and more daunting task overall than you'd ever imagine, and because of that, in some regards, the only way to be fully prepared is to go throught the painful but necessary "growing pains" of it all.

It's not unlike any new business, online or offline.

At times a new venture can be thrilling, at other times frightening or even painful, but what counts most, for any business, is the dedication to the goal, and the willingness to learn from mistakes and adapt accordingly.

The Wagglepop you see today is a direct result of that dedication, willingness, and education.

In terms of our expectations for the future, you may find the latest edition of Wagglepop Today very informational. You can access the latest edition from the Community home page.

Wagglepop represents a real opportunity for sellers (and buyers for that matter) to establish themselves independently under a pricing and fee structure that is quite fair, and wholly more profitable than what they're used to.

A good businessperson is certainly a skeptic, as all level-headed businesspeople should be. A cynic is something else entirely, and will dismiss Wagglepop out of fear and weakness.

Most of those who have not yet joined us, or are still unsure, can safely be labeled "skeptics", and we welcome the opportunity to earn their presence and business.

We consider it an honor to have that opportunity, and will continue to work even harder in the future to build a site that all members can be proud of.

N/P, Truth.

Is " informational" even a word? Shouldn't it have been "informative" ?
