Times are changing, and in the fast-paced
world of online retailing the industry leaders of yesterday may not represent or
fulfill the needs and wants of today's savvy online buying and selling
community.
For the many who participate in the online selling
community, the monopolization of the current online auction industry has
led to increased costs with decreased sell through rates and profits
while slowly eroding the trust and community dynamic that was the
foundation of the entire marketplace. Increasing costs for sellers have
led to increased costs for buyers combined with less selection and minimal
alternative solutions.
Wagglepop represents for many the
opportunity to correct that, by offering participation under a fair and structured fee
schedule that supports both seller exposure and buyer selection. This
structure supports increased profit for sellers while at the same time
creating lower prices and bigger savings for buyers.
Wagglepop (www.wagglepop.com) initially launched briefly in February 2005 and,
after considerable restructuring and added development time, relaunched in May
2006. Wagglepop was founded by and is guided still by ex-eBay Power Seller and current Wagglepop CEO Raymond Romeo with a stated site
goal of providing both buyers and sellers a real and effective alternative
in online auctions under a fair fee structure that supports all
membership equally.
Wagglepop, LLC., currently operates and holds offices in New
York in both Westchester County and Putnam County.
