Philosophy, Features & Advantages
Knowledge is power.


Welcome to The Revolution.

 


Philosophy                    

Our overall marketplace philosophy is actually rather basic:

Better conditions for sellers means better conditions for buyers.

How do we accomplish that? We believe that the basics like ease of navigation, representation, a fair fee structure .... along with tools and features that support that ..... can finally give buyers and sellers a real and effective alternative, and by doing so, revolutionize the online auction marketplace in lasting and meaningful ways.

We think you'll find Wagglepop to be familiar in many of the ways you've come to expect, yet fresh and exciting in all of the ways that count most.

For sellers, everything has been designed with an emphasis on and belief that it's your business and your products you are selling, not ours. Features like the Red Carpet Customer Program, Buy More Now and DynamicDiscounts have been specifically designed to support individual branding and loyalty. Sellers are not dropshippers, and we'll never treat you like one.

For buyers, the same programs noted above will save you both time and money, and you'll be able to build relationships with sellers that you can benefit from on a regular basis.

Basically, Wagglepop is about one thing:

You.

We're just here to steer the "ship" in the ways and directions you wish to go, and hoping for bright sunny skies, calm waters and the wind at our back as we do so. 

Ultimately, it's your journey. We're just along for the ride.

 

Application

How will we apply our philosophies to the site? Our intention is to create an online auction alternative that is responsive to the marketplace both internally and across the Web, that is representative of it's membership and that is fair and equitable for all members.

We don't do listing contests to inflate site statistics. That's meaningless.

We don't have different rules for different members. Without fairness, there cannot be genuine competition.

We certainly will not splinter the site or funnel business to alternative venues, whether "express" or not. We support Wagglepop as a full solution marketplace for buyers and sellers alike, and everything we do is directed squarely at that philosophy. Anything less would simply be wrong.

You have every right to have the same high expectations of us that we have of ourselves. We will make mistakes ..... but if we make a mistake, or something goes wrong, we'll fix it. If we can't fix it, we'll find someone who can. If they can't fix it, we'll ask for help. It's just as simple as that.

Everyone here at Wagglepop works for you. Everyone. From the Customer Care Team to the designers to the programmers ..... we're here for one reason and one reason only:

To make a difference.

Together, we can change everything.
