OH, and another thing about the stores, Sherrand. Are you including the "ghosts" and the stores run by dead baseball players?

Yep, they are all included. The dead baseball players account for 3 of the empty stores I reported. He did close test admin though... Happy001

That must be an honor reserved for paid feebay employees. Hey DB I have been donating my half of the check to the boinktard literacy fund but I don't think it is helping much. Any recommendations for a needy charity of the OAI? I would be willing to add a zero or 2 to my check. Occasion14

Hey Ray

Of course, it's all clear to me now. You or DB were the target in the survey vote at the top of this thread! Happy001

Are you going to add those zeros before or after the actual donation number(s)? Needy charity of the OAI? Aren't they all greedy needy ? Icon_scratch

If you remember correctly DB and I have been splitting our eBay (paid feebay employee) check ever since it was talked about hundreds of pages ago. You can put the zero's anywhere you want and there is no limit to how many zero's you want to add as the number will always be the same. Happy001

I am hoping DB is prepared to at least match my donation. Happy001

Good times people Occasion14

Well if we are to believe the delinquency rates that you repeatedly state you have then I would have to agree with you. I've never seen any company in any industry with delinquency rates as high as your alleged delinquency rates. Your stated delinquency rates, if they are true (which they're not), and your failure to correct them over the past 2 years, are indicative of a company led by the best SEO most incompetent management of any company on the planet.

Maybe because the average seller is smart enough to realize that the average eBay auction buyer isn't looking for an alternative to eBay...especially one that is a second rate clone of eBay 2003. The average eBay seller is far less reliant on eBay than they were 5 years ago but they've reduced their exposure to eBay by setting up their own websites and moving to fixed price venues and classified sites not by moving to other auction sites. The PSU hobby sellers who rush to signup for every poorly financed boxed script auction site are the exception not the rule...if you weren't such a board junkie and had looked at the broader ecommerce picture you might have realized that the average OAI boardie isn't representative of the average online seller.

Which is probably more than Ray is making right now (in real money not hampster food) . Or at least EARNED money.

Hey, Truth, have you bought that yacht yet with your share of our troll check? Let's meet in Bermuda.

Hey Ray! Hello, boinktard. Thefinger

P.S. Nobody can say I don't get things done. Against all odds, I managed to get a scammer kicked off eBay. I don't give up when justice is at stake -- boinktards like Ray will never escape my radar.

Imagine if the sum total of stores really were 6,000. This statement would make Ray out to be the biggest loser in the known universe. What idiot, in his right mind would make a point of broadcasting the loss of over 98% of his business (store count today at 127)?

Hello Members,

Interesting.

Seems that those who would not support Wagglepop are "de-escalating" the reasons why, since, apparently, everyone has figured out for themselves that we are indeed, a nice and worthy place to buy and sell.

If the implication is that members buy from other members, well, isn't that the way it works on every online auction site? If you're not registered, you can't buy and sell.

It's pretty obvious that the usual alarmist proclamations were all full of "hot air", so now some rather hilarious things are being tossed about as imaginary flash points.

They're running out of ways to keep smart buyers and sellers from joining us, and it's bugging the heck out of them to realize that people can visit us and make their own discoveries and decisions about Wagglepop.

That's the difference between a mob and a revolution.

The mob destroys and hates out of weakness, fear, and frustration.

The revolution promotes hard work, change, and unity, and recognizes the greater good at stake.

Smart people know the difference from a mile away
