countdown to 700 closed stores[/quote]

More importantly: countdown to 700 fewer potential buyers for the remaining sellers.  Fewer buyers means more store closings in the future.  Banning hundreds of potential buyers was a brilliant decision Ray

250 Stores found

The 25 stores on the first page account for more than 50% of the site's listings.

Yet by some miracle Ray still can afford to pay 3 employees, including one dedicated employee who works 24/7, all holidays, and is still awake for those mysterious "staff" meetings.

mysterious "staff" meetings

...more like a daily circle-jerk !

I didn't know one person could make a circle I know first HAND

In response to I Want's post being pulled and the Board Policies being "refreshed":

I love this! I just answered at post yesterday saying that you guys are decision makers and not afraid to do the right thing. I've always told my children that in the world there are Dreammakers and Dreamtakers-be sure to know the difference. There are those that will come here for whatever reason to take the dream and thankfully WP staff knows the difference. There are those that are coming from other sites-their dream has been taken and they are hurt and angry. They need to take a breath and blow it all away. I am thankful that WP is a dreammaker and they have helped me go forward with this new opportunity and blow away the past.

Bolding mine.

The only one "coming to take the dream" is Ray. He's lining his pockets while Kool-Aid inebriated poppers gladly hand over their cash to him every month.
Had this Popper actually read the post this is in reference to they would have realized that this is a successful, smart business person that is NOT hurt and angry - but relieved and excited to be starting a new adventure and FREE of Ray's lies and BS.

Here's some wool for your eyes heep5: and some more  to keep you in line.

With Yahoo closing it's auction doors, and the fact that I don't list much on feebay anymore, I would like to bring everything here. My concern is how does WP weed out possible scammers using phony names and addresses or bogus phone numbers? WP doesnt' have anything in place to allow the seller to set up terms that if they have under a certain amount of feedback, they must be approved before bidding? This concerns me greatly . . . and nothing can stop them from using the one bid instant purchase! . . . What is WP doing in the future or working on now to elliviate my concerns? . . .
Honestly, anyone can SAY a phone number belongs to them, but could use anyones number and answer to get the code without the real owners knowledge of it, even a throw away phone. As an ex police officer I'd just like to know how safe WP is compared to the others, and is there something in place or soon to be to help crack down on any scammers before they start anytime soon?

You can sleep peacefully, Popper. It's pretty hard for scammers to find you when they don't know you exist. Also just as hard for buyers to find you, but who cares about them?

Ray's banning policy this is one of the reasons why WP will continue to fall instead of grow.

DB I agree this popper has nothing to worry about I don't think the scammers know it's even there    The only thing this popper should be worried about is getting off of WP the sooner the better.

Moving on down. Almost off of page one. Man, when I think of how long it took to do those listings!

I like this new one! Thanks Banana!

We all understand what you are saying. Sending hours of work into oblivion that were completed with high hopes for success, well it's not a good feeling.  Look at it as a step towards something more fulfilling.

I Want, I missed the party when you completed your exit. May I add my congratulations now!!

Hi Sherr, THANKS !!
Hope you got to read all about it....
