Wagglepop BS Wrote:We feel strongly that any comparison to listing on eBay, or to quality independent shopping carts will continue to show Wagglepop as an extraordinary value and uniquely effective offering. [/quote] You want a comparison, you got one. I know sellers who are grossing over $1 million annually on eBay. I know sellers who are grossing over $1 million annually on Amazon. I know sellers who are grossing over $1 million annually on their websites. I know sellers who are grossing over $700,000 annually on their Pricegrabber storefronts. The best Wagglepop can offer is a board junkie making $76 daily. There Ray, I did a comparison and Wagglepop was shown to be unique all right--unique in its inability to deliver buyers to sellers (which is because WP's management has been too busy the past 2 years trying to bleed the sellers dry to even advertise its own site). |

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
He has lost his flippin mind!
I paid $30 for a short (very short) while for a Presto Store. I had, in just 2 months with 350 items listed, over 16,000 views of individual products, not just page hits. That's an average of 300 hits per product in 2 months. In fact, for about 2 weeks, a Google search for "Wagglepop" placed me at #2, but I still got more 100x views on Presto Store. I also sold 10 times what I sold on WP during those 2 months... I sold on both concurrently, and this made me realize what a dud WP was. I was one of 5 "founders" who left the same month after test driving a Presto Store. And, let's look at the promises... Wagglepop Checkout - 2 years running on this promise. No competing ads promise - BROKEN... this doesn't mean that I expected Ray not to compete with 100 year old magazine pages. But, give serious competition to sellers through SaleHoo, or Doba? Sounds like competing ads to me. It also sounds like Ray's little insurance policy when he is left with just 50 stores, at least he can have some income. Maybe he just wants the site all to himself? He's the only one he can trust? No one else will trust him again? He's officially LOONEY! I know of no one with any brain at all who would pay that amount for no buyers. Thus, I see many of the 2 and 3 store sellers closing down to just one, the smart ones getting their butts out of there, and then see the true numbers come out. Now, who wants to make bets on the July 1 store count? I bet 50. At least we know 3 people happy to hear this news... Mark, Mo, and S Ray. Now the spotlight is at least off them for a little while. ;D

A new WP feature! Sellers who speak out against the fee hike have their user IDs changed to report_050208-1! Neat-o!Â
The seller formerly known as EPMÂ says his goodbyes: Quote:report_050208-1Â Â 03 May 2008 01:18 Quote:report_050208-1Â Â 03 May 2008 01:33 Quote:report_050208-1Â Â 03 May 2008 01:34Â Â EDIT because I missed the best one Quote:report_050208-1 03 May 2008 01:55

Sneaky, an earlier poster who left was renamed "null". Check back in the threads and you'll find him. Isn't Ray inventive? Just another form of intimidation.

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
One Popper is happy about today's news :
you know who, posting on her new favorite board pheebay Wrote:My favorite favorite favorite part of the announcement is that Wagglepop will soon be selling on Wagglepop. There are an endless stream of buyers who show up at Wagglepop looking for items that they can't find on the site because the online selling community never stepped up to properly populate the site. AWESOME that Wagglepop is going to take matters into their own hands as far as that goes Quote:I think it's great that they will be getting in the trenches with us sellers to help populate the site with the items that buyers come looking for. That will increase traffic, and more importantly, it will encourage buyers to return the next time they look for something online. It's a unique approach that I've not seen from other sites except for maybe Amazon and Overstock?? As someone who has sold on Amazon for years and listed over 55,000 items on Oversuck before leaving (with my middle finger extended tolensmiley: ), I can tell you, and I'm sure every Amazon seller with the exception of PS could tell you, that the seller is at a disadvantage when they're competing against the site for buyers. xwpopper Wrote:But, give serious competition to sellers through SaleHoo, or Doba? Sounds like competing ads to me. It sounds like 2 things to me 1. POTENTIAL DISASTER (FOR RAY'S FINANCES) -a seller (KaRay) whose only experience is with low risk categories (magazine cutouts) starts selling in the categories with the highest fraud rates- TVs, consumer electronics, cell phones, etc. Scammers target sellers on small auction sites who sell these items because they're an easy mark. WP sellers don't have the same fraud prevention tools that website sellers have available to them. 2. A WASTE OF TIME AND PROOF THAT RAY IS AN IDIOT- buyers in most dropship categories don't want to take the time to register at a site, especially an unknown one, and wait for an invoice. They want to purchase and pay immediately, Ray should have learned from Floormat Guy's lack of sales (or the owner of Bid-alot's lack of sales when he tried to sell tens of thousands of dropshipped consumer electonics items last year) that dropshipped items and eBay alternatives aren't a good mix. You might be able to attract a collectibles buyer to a small site but your chances of luring the average buyer of new mass market dropshipped items is slim to nil. you know who Wrote:It's a unique approach that I've not seen from other sites except for maybe Amazon and Overstock?? It's not unique. Bid-alot tried it last year (and probably used the same dropshipping middleman- i.e. doba or drop ship design that Ray is planning to use). Bid-alot pushed their listing count from 15K to 100K doing it--their reason for doing it was because the site owner had the site up for sale and wanted to artificially inflate the sale price. |

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Yes, indeed the Poopman has lost his alleged mind. Poopers that will pay the 29.95 a month are truly brainwashed by the fuzzy slippers guy.
An Amazon store costs 10 bucks more than Ray's Mickey Mouse outfit and zon gets 900,000 times the traffic of that defunct site. I keep waiting for these poppers to wake the hell up, but I think they have succumbed to the Kumbaya of the sweeter than saccharin community. However, that community is beginning to fall apart. :turkey2: Ray, you're such a whore. |

Board participation reminder #2 tonight
Ray Romeo Wrote:I have asked Chris for strict policy enforcement this evening so I would strongly encourage anyone posting to be sure to post within the Board Participation Policy and all clarifications. He's right. It's not eBay. Ray Romeo Wrote:ha ha ha ha ha! OMG you are not going to believe THIS! The dirty rat bas*ards are RAISING the ebay motors insertion fees! $1.00 to 9.99 is now .35 instead of .30! Holy cripes , these mo****r f****ers got some BIG BIG balls. Jesus. What's next? They gonna come to my house and shoot my cat? If he reacted that way to a $0.05 increase can you imagine what his reaction would have been if they had raised the eBay Motors fee from $9.95 to $29.95? tolensmiley:
