Quote:We will continue to wait, having faith that in the end sellers and buyers alike will finally have had enough of the mistreatment "over there" and are ready, in numbers, to support fully an ownership, management team, and staff here and ready to support them and whatever tools they need to succeed online. A buyer "succeeds online" by finding what they want. After they get sick of eBay they are more likely to go http://www.google.com/prdhp?hl=en&tab=wf or here http://shopping.yahoo.com/ or here http://shopping.com/ or even here http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en than WP. Search is the new venue Ray--it's the buyers' "eBay alternative". |

Why pay AnRay $10 per hour to whine for dollars when PayPal Donations buttons placed on every page can do the same job for free? https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr...es-outside FIRE CUSTOMER CARE! FIRE THEM ALL! WP will save thousands of dollars per year.

Fool that I am to have over half as many items in my BUSINESS INVENTORY than Pooperville has on its ENTIRE SITE, and have a SUBSTANTIATED sell-thru of over 80% of listings (and that's just on one venue) when the #1 WP store can verify a sell-thru of .0005%. I am S0000000000000 (as in a line of zeros) JEALOUS of not being able to accomplish such a feat. Yep, shame on me for being such a pest that I was banned from being able to take further advantage of the "Grand Opportunity" at WP. And now, a solemn moment of prayer. WERE'S THAT "INSERT SARCASM" SMILIE? Edit: P.S. From the Auctionbytes thread: Quote:I personally starting paying Wagglepop the extra $30./month for a Showcase store. Not because I needed the extra exposure, but because I know that the site needs more revenue and I want to 'give back' to the site that has done the most for me and my business. I wonder if we all donate to WP like P.S. if we could write it off as a "charitable contribution" on our taxes? |

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
We The People Strategy:
Quote: 1. Submit an Article Bet your patooie it's up to the seller. Can you spell SPAM? And what is the site owner Himself doing to support his paying customers? Just sending the flock out to do his bidding - and his work for him. The rush of newbies on WP has tapered down. With this mornings culling of the herd they will be striving for 300 by the end of the month. A setback from the SEO expert's opinion that 1,000 would be reached by the end of the month. It's been deja vu of the growth spurt we witnessed (and many of us participated in) in 2006 but I feel this round will be much shorter lived. Damn those non-paying accounts and the lousy sellers with no patience to stick to it for the long haul. They just have no patience or business sense. One seller who signed up Jan 31/08 opened a store. An original artist with just adorable product. She listed 8 items in the following weeks. Sold every one (100% STR) and is the only seller I've ever witnessed on WP that had multiple bidders on her items that were not BIN. Those, the BIN, were gobbled up within minutes. The buyers I suspect she brought with her from eBay. Good marketing. Yesterday she closed her store and is now selling on OLA. I thought she'd be the new poster seller for WP. Sold every item, feedback left for every sale; a beacon for the discouraged. So why did she leave? This one has me intrigued.
