First, this must be a big basket, and it's gonna be heavy. Second, who was he handing this big, heavy basket to? Sorry, just couldn't help myself. |

1,771 7-day auctions w/buy it now = $796.95 insertion fees
If he maintains his 1.75% sell through rate he will sell 31 items = ~$400 sales before final value fees of $35 and PayPal fees of $21 = $344 Estimated 1 week loss $450 |

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
What's with the "sponsored links" at the bottom of his listings? Is that something eBay does or is he skimming a little from them? There are none of those in any of my listings.
Ed. Oh, wait. The "sponsored links" are on his old listings and completed listings. But I still don't understand how they got there. I've never once had a "sponsored link" on any of my eBay listings: active, sold, completed, or any other status. ![[Image: dblogosm.jpg]](http://www.efwebgraphics.com/images/dblogosm.jpg)

You'll still lose money but not nearly as much. Plan B (the recommended one...GET A FRIGGIN' WEBSITE) 1. close the money losing eBay store 2. delete the current Wagglepoop auction site 3. abandon your plan to turn Waggleflop into an Amazon affiliate site 4. Download Zen Cart or PrestaShop or Magento and take advantage of the 15-20K traffic WP currently receives by turning WP into a Wagglepop Magazine Cutouts store. 5.

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
BBH: I would vote for Plan B. Ray, however, wouldn't consider it because:
(1) He is congenitally allergic to success, and (2) It is a smart solution that came from you, a morally-bankrupt miscreant and troll. He does, after all, have his over-inflated, Boinktardinal ego to protect.

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
With all we've done to help build WP's traffic over the past 3 years I think Ray owes everyone who has posted on this thread a share of the proceeds if he finds a buyer for WP

People go from TT to WP for the same reason they visit the Coney Island Freak Show.
