I have found an informative page, probably dating back to the 2nd half of 2007,
from an enthousiastic Dubli "Certified Partner":
http://webshops.globalexpans.com
Scroll down the page to a little under the 'framed-in' DubliNetwork page (apparently this used to be the original 2007 Dubli "Shopping Mall" page - but that part of Dubli's original e-commerce model has been abandoned long since), and you'll read:
-----------------------------------------------
It is a portal you can be proud of being a part of.
You are looking at the very front edge of e-commerce, now and in the future, we are only in the beginning of the evolution,
...and the concept is just BRILLIANT !!
So far a 100.000+ registered customers think so, also more than 3000+ DubLishop owners think so and I am sure you will come to share their opinion.
(These official numbers are from early summer 2007)
-----------------------------------------------
So there we have it, official numbers from early summer 2007, that's about 8 to 9 months after the most referred-to "official" launch of Dubli in a limited number of European countries in October 2006.
100,000+ registered customers is completely different from Dubli's present claim of:
"DubLi.com’s select test market in Europe saw 2.3 million customers come in just eight months."
To see how well-informed the Certified Partner of Dubli behind the 100,000+ info is, visit the home-site of this Certfied Dubli Partner:
http://www.globalexpans.com
At the bottom of that home-page you'll see a reference (with some photos) to Dubli's mysterious 2005 China launch (now apparently purged from official Dubli history), so obviously this Dubli Certified Partner did have access to reliable inside-information.
Ironically, this original and official 100,000 figure for Europe is now also referred to in a FAQ page of
"the DubLiEagles - America's International Team"
("Licenced Independent Representative"),
where it's used in yet another spin, trying to impress and entice potential new Cash Cows Business Associates when comparing it with claimed figures for US registered customers:
-----------------------------------------------
How is DubLi doing in the United States?
http://dublieagles.com/qa2.html
Since its US launch on October 4th, 2008, DubLi US has far exceeded the growth of its European counterpart. In fact, DubLi US had 100,000 registered customers by November 15th, little over a month after launch.
In comparison, it took Europe six months to achieve the same goal.
-----------------------------------------------

Question: Are the presently claimed "2.3 million customers" for Europe in 2006/2007 another example of Dubli's exaggeration, confusion, or dare I even say: lies?
