Well, I am back home and now it is back to delete, delete, delete. But I tell you, yahoo closing really thre a wrench in my game plan. I know that others have not had good experiences there, but the majority of my sales are made through there. My partner asked today if we should keep wagglepop open since yahoo was closing. Nah, I dont think so! I just need to fing another quality venue. I am already on ecrater. What do you all think of blujay? I signed up there the other day, but havent had a lot of time to do much, yet. What I did list is getting viewed. Any other suggestions?

This ought to do it:

I am leaving WP today. After de-listing all of my 923 items, it feels like a large burden has been lifted. I have nothing personal against any of the sellers here, in fact, I wish you all the best of luck. You will need it if you stay here.
Too many things dont add up. The advertising fiasco is near the top of the list. When there were 900+ stores, we were told of a $75,000 advertising budget (and were going to spend every penny of it), but not how it was going to be spent. No problem, but in fact there was very little spent. The six month campaign was visible for just a couple of days. Site traffic is WAY down. Number of ACTUAL sellers is way down. This is not a bump in the road.
Board censorship is a MAJOR issue. Whenever one of the sellers asked a legitimate business question, or disagrees with views of ownership, the Delete key isnt far behind.
There has not been a new issue of the newsletter in months (since January). Sales are WAY down. Can you see the trend here?
I leave you with this bit of advice: Get your own website, and install a shopping cart (or have someone do it for you). Its money well spent, and costs about the same as a basic WP store. Plus, YOU get to be the boss.

It will not be easy, but then nothing worth having ever is.
It's up to you.

Hello Members,

While it has not been necessary as a reminder for several months, I was just informed by Christine (CC2) that it might be a good time to refresh this Clarification of Board Participation Policy based on recent posts which were removed for being outside the boundaries for participation, as is standard.

For the vast majority of our membrship, no such reminder is necessary and we would like to thank our community as a whole for understanding and respecting the responsibilities that come with WP membership and community participation

Karen - WP Customer Care

Guess I'm not in the "vast majority" anymore....
