Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

[njr55]

  I asked many times when I was a popper when you guys were going to advertise and I got reprimanded for it every time

:ditto:

Let's see.......the age old answer was always the next quarter, the next quarter, the next quarter.  What quarter are they in now?

Ooooo, that's awful! I understand it's worse than the Organic Flu! 

Seriously, hope you're doing much better since your consultation.

Hello Members,

An interesting topic of conversation.

We often ask ourselves why any online seller would not want to become part of our marketplace.

We have tons of innovative features, a stellar performance and uptime record, an incredibly affordable selling program, FVF fees substantially less than those of eBay, a solid Customer Care staff and engineering support team, and average of 25,000 unique visitors per month for calendar year 2007.

Is that not enough for those who do not yet participate?

I'm not sure what more we could do, although we ask ourselves the question every day and have been unable to figure out any substantive answer.

We think Wagglepop is a great place for both buyers and sellers, but it seems there is some unknown resistance to selling here in numbers greater than what we have currently.
As a company, Wagglepop lists nothing, buys nothing, and sells nothing. We merely provide the means and tools for online users to do that.

The only way sellers get an alternative to eBay is by creating one with one simple action:

Participation.

Karen - WP Customer Care

Bolding mine Ok here Ray is saying they are unsure and does not know what more they could do.  Well KaRay if you actually had listened to the sellers instead of deleting their post you would know the answer to that question.    As far as an unknown resistance to selling here in numbers greater than what we have  currently.  Again Ray you're the one who drove those greater #'s away by not listening.    I wonder with all this "we" talking that he does if he has really come to believe he has a staff

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If someone is paying you money... you ARE selling something Ray!!  That something doesn't have to be a tangible item... (that means you can physically hold it in your hand dumbass)... you can sell a service or an idea, or hmmm... let's see... selling venue store space?

Once again... just so I am clear... PEOPLE PAY YOU BECAUSE YOU SELL THEM STORE SPACE!!

Get it now? 

Oh and you should have thought about this "participation" problem when you had over 900 stores.  You should have done some advertising... I asked many times when I was a popper when you guys were going to advertise and I got reprimanded for it every time.  I don't feel bad for your lack of "participation"... you brought this on yourself... and you still are making the same mistakes every single day.

Platzki you are absolutely right he is selling something. Space on his venue.  He expects the sellers to do everything for what he is charging he should show some effort. But no as far as I'm concerned he has shown none.  I know free sites that show more effort than he has.  Your right he brought this all upon himslef.

************* OT RANT ***********

TIMELINE...

3 years ago... stripped 8 layers of wallpaper/paint in living room and dining room... primered 2 coats each room, painted each room, did trim, crown molding, etc.

3 years ago and a month... started stripping hallway wallpaper. Lost momentum.

Couldn't stand how it looked like a West Philly crack den anymore so...

5 weeks ago... finished stripping hallway wallpaper, sanded, spackled, painted walls, painted trim, painted brown bed/bath doors white...

4 weeks ago... throw away bedroom furniture except night tables... stripped master bedroom wallpaper, found 3 layers of wallpaper and 3 layers of paint underneath, cried, sanded, sanded, sanded, called contractor.

3 Weeks ago... waited for contractor to schedule our drywall job (meanwhile, we are sleeping on mattress on living room floor).

2 weeks ago... contractor shows up and works an entire weekend on bedroom (still sleeping in living room), go to rug store, pick carpet, schedule installation for May 15.

1 week ago... contractor done, pay him, cry some more, go to Lowes to buy primer, paint, outlets, switches, primer 2 coats, go buy wine in a box (big box), finish primering

This past Friday thru Sunday... start painting room... bought wrong color... one wall of bedroom looks like someone threw up  yellow highlighter... paint was supposed to be green.  Back to Lowe's pick new color, willow green... come home, paint... gorgeous... 2 coats done, paint trim bright white semi gloss... DONE... except still need to buy bedroom furniture... tap box wine.

Sunday and Monday... clean house out of everything possible for carpet install... completely forget that daughter has chorus concert at 7pm... run like hell to make the show. Get home at 9pm... box wine.

Tuesday.. carpet installers come.  Gouge hallway door trim, bathroom door, walls and bedroom paint.  Leave.. YAY... I'M DONE... except the bedroom furniture.

LAST NIGHT.. pipe behind bathtub starts howling and water is leaking from pipe into basement.

THIS MORNING... Called Roto-Rooter... Coming between 12-5 pm... can't be more specific.

JUST NOW... go downstairs to laundry room (directly under leaking pipe) and get ready to do a load of laundry... open lid, load still in there from 2 days ago... stinks... needs re-washing... try to run washer...  Won't run, won't spin, grinds and laughs at me.

I love this wine.

[njr55]

  OMG - Platz - is your name Nancy or are you related to me? Well, I've had a few of those kinds of days/weeks/months so I feel for you guys!  Keep the wine flowing - and above all else, never say what else?  Cuz sure as God made little green apples, somethin' will come up, I assure you. Here's a few hugs for ya O O O.

[youroverheadbin]

Platz - 

That is hilarious!! You missed your calling. You should be a comedy writer. Your imagination and way with words know no bounds.
So what if it's off topic, karma for you girl!

I tore my main bathroom up in 1993. Yanked out the carpet, stripped the wallpaper, tore down the tub tiles. Had a neighbour offer to redo the tub area reeeaaal cheap. Fired him with very bad feelings 2 days later. Called on a friend who had done quite a bit of work in our home in the past. Took him 3 days to undue the damage and start over. Tub had to be replaced due to numerous chips left compliments of the first maniac.

To date nothing else has been done. I call it my retro design room and swear to anyone who dares ask "it's supposed to look like that."

We have tons of innovative features,

They don't have anything that hasn't existed for years.  The site features are a bad clone of eBay circa 2002-2003, SmartSellPro is a copy of Amazon's subscription plan (minus Amazon's buyers) which has existed since 2000, and the bulk lister is...

a stellar performance and uptime record,





a solid engineering support team



The only way sellers get an alternative to eBay is by creating one with one simple action:

Viable alternatives to eBay have always existed but people have wasted their time looking in the wrong places (like Wagglepop) for them.

[youroverheadbin]

Yeah, what he said! Great summation BBH.
