I closed my store at the auction site Wagglepop. Boy that place is something else. For starters there is a mystery that the one and only customer service rep Karen is actually the owner Ray Romeo (an obnoxious ebay store seller). Everyone seems to think Ray is just pretending to be Karen as he does not have a huge following. Ray burned a lot of bridges with the launch of the first Wagglepop, when he closed the doors just after one week and had collected registrant's credit card info. Many sellers were also extremely upset after spending an entire week copying all their ebay listings to log on a week later and the site is gone. There is a lot more to Ray's behavior in the past such as racy forum postings on ebay and OTWA that are not very professional and should be reviewed to get an understanding as to who this guy is.
The main problem with the re-launch is no one is allowed to ask any business questions on the forums such as advertising and upgrades. If you do ask simple questions you take the chance of having your store closed and IP banned.
Some of the sellers that condone this behavior have formed a cult like group and will bash anyone that dares complain that they have not sold anything, or that their listing counters do not reflect page views. Imagine the desperation felt after listing hundreds of listings for several months and not have earned a penny, and to be told that there probably is not going to be any advertising for a while. That would be fine if you did not have to pay your monthly store rental fee. Some sellers even end their postings with "here for the long haul" and "Wagglepop Rocks", well what Rocks about it? There are no visitors, no sales, and no questions allowed. I wonder if those members are relatives of Ray and have free stores? :<0
There are some forums that have followed Wagglepop 1 and Wagglepop 2 the re-launch that have all the juicy details as to how the owner Ray is probably just ripping these poor people off, and that he probably has no intention on advertising, only collecting store fees while he can.
