I sell $20,000.+ every 6 months. I don't think you sell that in less than a week. If you do, I'm certain that you would have been able to make that eight bucks a month pay off.

If you sell that much then where are you selling it because your feedback states that in the past SIX MONTHS YOU HAVE MADE 26 SALES and it has taken you TWO YEARS TO MAKE A LITTLE OVER 250 SALES and only THREE SALES IN THE PAST 30 DAYS. What you sell isn't that expensive other than a few baby beds and ensembles. You couldn't be exaggerating a teeny, tiny bit, could you?

Something just doesn't look right. And, saying that everyone doesn't leave feedback is true; however, there can't be that much of a discrepancy.

I think you missed the category with designer dresses.

I don't think you'll see even 1% of my gross sales from Wagglepop in the feedback. My customers rarely ever use the feedback system. They seem to use it more like a standalone website rather than 'another eBay'. Here are some examples of nice recent sales (and one bid) that you'll almost certainly never see feedback for~

I might have been under $20,000. in the second half of 2006 when I was restructuring things a lot.

Impressive resume, but I really don't see the relevance to this discussion.

Right, CuFF, sorry.

I'm so sorry for the laundry list. It was just to answer innerpuppie's "If you sell that much then where are you selling it" question. Although after posting it I realized that it might also be relevant information for others here who dismiss me as just a cheerleader putting up a fascad or something else along those lines.

Your online credentials don't make your opinions more worthy or credible than anyone else here.
And, I don't think anyone will dismiss you unless you give them a reason.

Ah, the world would be a much better place if it worked that way.

I realize that not all sales produce feedback; however, something smells in Denmark for $40,000.00 a year in sales. I don't care at all about how much you sell, but if you make a statement you should be able to back it up. If your publicized sites aren't producing a lot of sales, then your .com can't be doing much more.

Why do people come to places like PSU and want to blow up their importance? What you sell and how much you make isn't relevant to your credibility but, please, don't puff up the figures, it reduces the validity to what you say.

innerpuppie wrote (View Post): › please, don't puff up the figures, it reduces the validity to what you say.

I did NOT puff up the figures. You did when you claimed that you sell in less than one week what I do in six months. Your further attempts to make my sales appear as minimal as possible tells me that you're someone who twists reality as much as you can to try to make it fit your pre-conceived notions which I'm sure is why you had so much conflict on OLA.

Hey, kiddo, look in the mirror. All I'm saying is that you don't have to exaggerate sales here to be credible concerning what you have to say. In fact, what a person has to say is much more believed if they don't puff up statistics. Besides, if you have no experience with OLA I don't know why you're posting in this thread. Must be that one of the harpies sent you over.

As far as my original statement is concerned, after looking at what you, yourself, volunteered as informative relative to your sales, my thoughts appear to be correct.

Hell, I'm a Buyer at OLA and I met with conflict when I asked the webmaster about the Buyer Verification fee. After seeing him prompt a Buyer to pay the fee if they wanted to bid I wished to clarify with him the use of that feature. Since that time I've been considered anti-OLA. Metzy tried to make it look like some devious plot when in reality I was hoping to make some headway with the webmaster, and I did unless he lied. He stated that he'd clarified the text description of the Buyer Verification feature on the auction submission form in red. Some Sellers didn't have a clue that Buyers were being charged to bid. If he made the change, now they know.

The real and true problem at OLA is that you have a few members who constantly stir the pot over here, then take it over there. I posted here about the webmaster, however, I had an end result in sight. Most businesses will put their best foot forward when they find themselves in the spotlight. That was my reasoning, and it does not in any way compare to making a video about a PSU member, flaunting it both here and at OLA, simultaneously spamming this forum, stalking, harassment, or threats about more videos. In fact, I'll name the troublemakers for you. Is Buyer111us even selling at OLA, because he sure is active at ebay UK and eBid. How does it happen that someone who is giving OLA a bad name is held in such high regard on the OLA boards when they are proven a liar regarding multiple IDs and other unethical activities? I don't get it, but it certainly does show that deliberate games work to an extent, doesn't it? Then, you've got Metzy who travels between both sites making accusations, promises and empty apologies for stirring up trouble only to do it all over again. It's an endless cycle with both of them. They are not treated with respect because they are disrespectful. Their actions taint OLA with negativity. If others were allowed to express their disappointment in OLA without being harassed until they leave the owner might actually get off his ass and work for his Sellers. They are paying him, afterall.

CuFF, she does the same thing on her eBay me page, her eBay blogger page and a few others strung around the web. Frankly, I don't know where anyone has to time to prolifically post racing around the web and still take care of their day-to-day life. Guess...that is her life

OUCH
Are you saying that most PSU members are not successful?

Sounds like it, doesn't it? I asked and she didn't answer. However, that group of sellers would also have to include here, too, since she spends quite a bit of time on the forum right along with the other sellers.

That statement was unrelated to PSU members. I was just trying to point out that often what is seen on PSU is an extremely skewed version of reality. We don't usually get a clear picture of sites here because we see all of the complaints and accusations and insults, much of which has to do with posters' attitudes rather than the sites themselves, but what we DON'T get here is all the people who are successful on a particular site, KNOW how the site REALLY is, and could help others achieve similar success and contribute to growth and stronger futures of sites. There is a lot of 'tearing down' that goes on around here when there needs to be 'building up' in it's place.
