Hey Auctiva Jeff,

What's up? Ready for the holidays?

So, as you've read here on the boards there are concerns from 'some' members about Auctiva's sky falling on top of their heads. Resembling a SpareDollar senario of auction management hell. They're suggesting you begin charging a monthly fee to ward off this impending doom. So, what say you? To charge or not to charge, this is the question.

I think I understand how you're generating income or at least how you plan on generating it once Auctiva takes off. Personally, I think it's pretty savvy. Still, there is that damn sky above us and for some it looks like it's about to fall! Yikes!

Perhaps, they're suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome from SpareDollar hell? Maybe they didn't get enough sprouts and Kool-Aid growing up? Who knows. How about setting them straight and explaining 'again' how it is that Auctiva can realllllyyy generate income and stay afloat without charging a monthly fee.

If your explanation isn't good enough - then perhaps, you can set up a monthly fee structure for these 'Chicken Littles'. Or a donation or whatever. Then again, you could always continue to generate income via your alliances and charge a monthly fee as well. Why not? They're out there waiting and ready - go for it.

Is the sky falling? Is Auctiva going SpareDollar on us? Will there be a monthly fee?

Is 'free' the hook the nets us all? Ahhhhh....

I'll await your answers, lol. Smile

Until then, someone please pass the Kool-Aid. Thanks.

OWwww! Now you've gone and hurt my feelings. Does this mean you won't help me with my eCrater store, either?

Capt. you know all of us peace, love and Kool-Aid types are so high on life and sprouts that we're willing to help most anyone.

Just remember one good 'zing' deserves another.

Let us drink some Crystal Lite (sugarless) and call it a day. Cheers! This is a very busy week for me but I most certainly will help you with eCrater and whatever else you need. Just post it here and I'll do my best.

Until then, drink up and don't worry be happy. Smile

Is Auctiva going SpareDollar on us?
No. We're the antithesis of SD. When things are going bad some places raise prices, we're free. When some places have too many people on a server they think of ways to get rid of them, we add more servers. When you need support some places you ask other customers or some dude named BidRedd lol, here you can always find a support person. Some places when the site is down customers call rackspace to tell them to fix things for some dude named samoT lol, here we tell you we know there is a problem and we're working on it, then we keep you informed. The people that are staying there are either gluttons for punishment or the most loyal people I've ever heard of. Perhaps they don't know how easy it is to use our import feature on our Listing tab. I would love to have them because it would take hell freezing over before they ever left us Smile


BigRedd -- bawahahahaha! Frog

Thanks for all of the answers and a few laughs.

Hope to meet you at eBay Live.

Ciao!

Smile

Thanks for the very detailed update, hearing from "the higher power" always gives me a sense of security.

Ho Ho Ho,

I love M. Williamson. Smile

I do, too! Just had the book out the other day. I'm a sucker for Gary Zukav's earlier books, too.

Ho Ho Ho,
Donna
