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

[jojo-p]

I can get in.

I'm watching a particular near-the-top-of-page-2 seller slowly delist, it's sad in a way because this person always contributed alot to WP - she seemed very nice, positive, and didn't have an attitude - I hope she finds success elsewhere soon.

Since Karen is WP history, I wonder if she will start posting here?

Just a thought.

[RiverRat]

Hmmm...maybe Andrew should be added to the poll now.

Due to the current change in WP staff I thought it might be fun to replay an oldie of mine. It somehow seems fitting now

Everybody Sing Along

KAREN GOT DELETED BY A VIRUS

Karen got deleted by a virus.
Surfing while at Ray’s house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as karma,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.

She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
and Ray begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication, and she
staggered through the screen into the glow.

When he found her Christmas morning,
at the scene of the attack,
she had edit written on her forehead,
and incriminating delete marks on her back.

Karen got deleted by a virus.
Surfing while at Ray’s house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as karma,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.

Now we're all so proud of Raymond,
He's been taking this so well.
Seen him in there watching football,
drinking beer and
playing cards with Andrew.

It's not Christmas without Karen,
All the family's dressed in black
and we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her email,
or send them back?
Send them back!!

Karen got deleted by a virus.

You can say there's no such thing as karma,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.

Now the money is on the table
and the loose change in a tin
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched
the hair on Karen’s wig.


I've warned all my
friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves,
they should never give a license
to a guy whose name is Ray
and plays with his other selves.

I think I know who you're talking about - checkbook covers? She is a very nice person - she'll do well wherever she goes I'm sure... Don't know her well personally, but all communication with her has been really nice and yes, she has contributed a LOT to WP.

But she's doing right - get out while the getting's good!

Okay - finally my first pot of coffee is brewed! Maybe a few slurps will help me take in everything?

Pass me a kleenex....PS is turning it into As The Stomach Churns

I can't even begin to express how deeply upset I am over this. I have been really crying all morning since I heard this news.

Karen, I sincerely appreciate everything that you did and tried to do for us and to make Wagglepop great.

I am so sorry that you were so underappreciated by far too many people.

I am so sorry about all of the difficult things that you had to deal with because of people who were unkind, disrepectful, and had no understanding of reality or the truth.

I am so, SO angry that sellers will say that they want a real alternative to eBay, and then turn right around and stomp all over anyone who gives of themselves and invests in trying to create and build that alternatve.

I am so sorry that any support that I can give can't possibly compete with any of the negative forces working against this site. I will never give up though, and will always support Wagglepop to the best of my abilities, and I will always remember you, Karen, and all of the time and caring that you gave us here.

For crying out loud, she was a CSR!  Why the hell are you apologizing to HER.

How old is this chick anyway?  Pretty young by the sound of it.

So just when most/many of the loyal to WP sellers get to see some of what's really been going on this whole time and leave - just when this happens, new stores and new sellers are coming in to try and restore some faith in the self-imploding site?

Bolding is mine.
Looks like a certain poster needs a dose of reality. Not PopLand reality, the real world reality. This poster also needs to finally wake up from the koolaid induced trance and realize that the truth is written in all of these pages here. We post the facts, we try to help the poppers.
WAKE UP POPPERS!

Chiquita that song cracks me up everytime I read it!!      
Thank you for reposting it!


Everytime PS posts it makes me want to  

If Karen was such a kind, caring customer service rep who cared so much about all the poppers...why didn't she take the time to post she was leaving herself?  I mean after all, they expected the poppers to post and ask where she was.  Wouldn't you expect her in return, to post her own resignation?

Yes!  Because that's the way it works - in the WP world. Replace a long standing, 500+ item store with a brand new 3-4 item store - it's all the same.    And yes, you guessed the store correctly.
