Bidville stores really look good if one goes toa sellers store it really is nice....fast.. clean ... strong and vibrant don't know its quite as vibrant as wagglepop but is close which would give a country fair festival feeling of quality arts and crfts type of items..instead of just a dirty flea market feeling some sites gives with their stores...
bidville and wagglepop is a test of where the ebay sellers seem to be going....both quality county fair festival of items feeling...but somehow the sellers seem to have picked wagglepop...... wagglepop has gotten about 400 stores since the fee increase was announced and bidville maybe a dozen.....and this with the bidville stores at a LOWER COST....ebay store sellers going to a site is what will build a competitor fast....and all should follow once we see where they are going....not to go all over the place....wagglepop name is better with buyers and browsers than a name with bid or auction in it... i think te name bidville has hurt that site... along with all the sabatoguers when there is a potential 2nd competitor.....
i have a suggestion that i think would help all the free sites bringing in free stores as well as wagglepop and bidville....
what they could do.. after giving the best info to the stores about froogle placement.... have options in ones stores for their items to list on the main page with all the other stores... first option is having ones items to list and end every 7 days and the next day for the auto relist to begin again... have this option FREE.... but then charge for 5 day.. 3 day.. and 1 day options of listing and ending automatically... make the charge for the 1 day auto listing and ending the highest fee .. make this like a featured store........ most places when a browser puts in a search for his interest will see the same featured stores on the first page and first listings.... this is good in some ways for the featured store owner BUT would work less i think than having the featured stores set as 1 day auto listing and ending.. browers do not want to see the same things on the first few items... this makes them lose interest in searching and makes for sales at the site to drop....if a site would set this up.. i think it would really help the site to soar with buyers!!!
