Poll: Who is to blame for sellers leaving Wagglepop en masse?

Today's analogy of a store.

designerhandbags

Registered Setember 16, 2006. I calculate they should have paid 79.60 in stores fees since then. They have not had more that 8 items max at any one time and have actually averaged 4. Presently 3. No feedback other than purchases made in March from another seller.

A dedicated seller? A seller that fits the profile of a WP trust-based member working to build WP into a viable competitor to eBay?

I DON'T THINK SO!! Tongue1

From the Flaming Penis guy's ME page:

Quote:... AND MUCH MUCH MORE GREAT ITEMS,IF YOU DONT SEE IT HERE IN MY LITTLE STORE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND ILL TRY AND SEE IF I COULD FINE IT FOR YOU.. I CAN SELL ITEMS IN BULK OR SINGAL ITEMS.FIND ALL YOUR ITEM NEEDS FOR YOUR NEXT FLEA MARKET,OUR YOUR AUCTIONS.

-Bolding is mine-

I know we have touched on this before. One of the marks of a professional seller is attention to detail. Here is a page in all caps (the internet version of screaming), poor grammar, and several spelling mistakes.
What this really screams to me is that this seller is someone I wouldn't want to deal with. How you present yourself and your items is not a cost issue, it's a matter of taking the time to do it right.
I don't mean this as a personal attack on this particular seller, just as an example of a bad first impression.

Thoughts?

On page four of the WP Stores in huge bold fonts is this notice from a seller on vacation:

Quote:We will be away until May 30th. PLEASE keep this in mind when making a purchase.All emails will be answered on May 16th.

Just slap any ole sumptin up there, whether it makes sense or not, don't concern yourself with correct punctuation, and go on your merry way.

Hi everyone, just thought I'd pop in and let you all know M&M's Treasures on Wagglepop is officially closed. I emailed asking for it to be closed, expecting all kinds of problems. Luckily, they did not give me the crap I have heard other sellers were getting! My store was closed in a matter of an hour.

Congrats on the pain-free exit. I'm sure you feel much better now that it's behind you !!

The huge multi-colored bold fonts and blinking words that many people use on the WP stores listing pages really annoys me. Big Grin

It would be much easier to read (and look more professional) if everything was the same font.

Damn. There goes my Christmas bonus. I'll probably be out of a job when my employer Feebay sees the poll.
