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

[Alskling]

From Popper who joined November, 2007, with evidence of 10 sales in 6 months:

"My sales are not there, so far out of 3 stores this month I have only one sale. What can I do, I know things are bad but evwery body has been telling me thing would pick up, well they haven't. what am I not doing. I know 110% of the news letters from entire web are greek to me. I just don't kknow what to do."


Edit: And a reply from one of our favorite cheerleaders:

"DO NOT GIVE UP! It is important to us that you keep your store here and work at getting it successful."

You can pay Ray $89.85 for your 3 stores is what you can do.  tolensmiley:

He's been quiet because he realizes Wagglepop Marketshare will never be a match for TulipMarketshare (opened July 2008) or its newly opened sister site TulipTardShare  tolensmiley:

A few vendors have come to rely on eBay announcing fee/policy fee changes within days of releasing previous year earnings data so that they can craft a "better deal".

eBay's silence doesn't give these vendors the ammo needed to pick off a batch of fresh batch of suckers sellers.

Gee. That means these vendors are going to have to generate customers based on their own merit...these vendors are going to help sellers become independent of eBay just as soon as eBay makes an announcement they can use.

Not only does WP have the "best CEO on the planet", but has a reputation throughout the known universe as the best invoicing system as well. (insert sarcasm)

see the following rant:

But don't worry, poopers, if your buyer can't figure out WP's ridiculous, convoluted invoicing system and leaves neutral or negative feedback, AndyRay would be glad to remove it for you. Way better way of handling it than FIXING the damn system, don't you think?

Sorry. Stick a "www." in front of "wagglepop.com". The rant's there. For whatever reason, my edit functions no longer work on TT, so I can't do a copy/paste any more.

[Alskling]

I'd do a cut and paste of the new "marketshare" annoucement, but my editing keys don't work with TT any more. How can I fix that?

[Alskling]

(Wait -- I figured another way to cut n paste)

Hello Wagglepop Members,

As recently announced the introduction of Wagglepop Marketshare will begin integration shortly.

Wagglepop Marketshare is intended to supplement the existing items and products that make up the Wagglepop Marketplace.

By making Marketshare items and products available to shoppers in addition to Marketplace items and products we feel strongly we will better serve all shoppers who visit Wagglepop and build a stronger reputation as a site worth visiting and shopping.

By supporting that particular dynamic general traffic can increase based on "word of mouth" shopper experiences - the very best type of retail traffic there is.

We are pleased to announce that the bulk of Marketshare items and products will be furnished under an affiliate partner agreement with Amazon.com - one of the very most complete and vibrant product catalogs available online.

Amazon.com listings under Marketshare will appear below (or secondary to) normal search and browse results as supplementary (though fully integrated) and all Marketshare purchases will gateway through the Amazon.com secure shopping cart.

In addition, Marketshare will support new portals for items and products not supported under Wagglepop Marketplace or the Amazon.com Marketshare component such as web hosting and other "non-tangible" products.

Ultimately our wish for Wagglepop as a site is to make it a more useful and complete offering for our over 30,000 unique U.S. visitors each month as well as developing a stronger reputation to the benefit of all of our Marketplace Merchants as one great place to shop.

We are at an absolutely critical juncture in our business model. The traffic we see each month must not only fill shopper needs and convert better than it does currently for financial concerns but more importantly we must build a more complete experience for those shoppers that can be passed on to others - to people like you and me with needs or wants and ready to buy.

Indeed, Marketshare and Marketplace items and products by default will "compete" - but they do that already whether here or in search engines or in the minds of potential buyers. As many of our merchants know quality items and products priced fairly with first rate customer service will always have a market. Collectible and vintage items in particular will continue to be served primarily through the Marketplace.

To support the integration of Marketshare over the next few days expect some new appearance sets to both solidify and simplify the overall shopper experience.

With less than 50 paid SmartSell subscribers we are counting on membership support for Marketshare - intended to supplement not only site revenues but the overall site seller/shopper dynamic.

Shoppers who successfully find items and products through either the Marketplace and/or now Marketshare will refer the entirety of "Wagglepop", and that is surely a very good thing for everyone.

We look forward to the new overall "Wagglepop Shopping" that will absolutely be able to fulfill the wants and needs of virtually everyone who visits us here in our little corner of the web.

Integrations will begin in earnest over the next few days and we thank all membership in advance for your support.
