Wagglepop gets greedy with category ads.

On February 27, 2008, in E-commerce, by David

{mosimage}Ray Romeo (Karen Morrow/Andrew Pittino) is trying to milk his new sellers for as much as he can by offering them the chance to pay a minimum of $88.50 a month for “category flagship” ads on a site that currently has a Google Page Rank of “3″.

He makes promises of “up to 70,000 unique visitors” for those ads, but those are for the entire site, assuming those numbers are accurate. They would not be “per category”.

Ray’s trying to cash in quick with his influx of new sellers ignorant enough to join his Wagglepop.com site since the eBay fees. But he certainly won’t stand for non-payment, he remove 40 sellers from his site recently for non-payment.

Isn’t this the sort of thing eBay sellers bitched about years ago when ads from competitors would show up on a seller’s listing?
