Hey People-
for all of you yelling that we should shut up and just take this total imcompetence and lack of respect for people's business because this is a free service to some- why don't you go back and take a look at your listings!
DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD GIVE THIS AWAY IF THERE WERN'T A BENEFIT TO THEM???
Look at all the advertising space you are giving them in your listing. IT IS A TRADE OFF! They give it aI have a goddamn right to bitchway free to most in order to advertise to get the paying customers.
I have a goddamn right to bitch. I don't run auctions. I couldn't plan in advance for this and not have any listings. I run an ebay store and have almost 800 items that run ALL THE TIME (NOT AUCTIONS-GTC)and most HAD no pictures for more than a day. I didn't lose just a sale or 2. I lost dozens and, more, importantly, I lost customers who will never be back because they weren't able to see my merchandise. They were down last week also!
If I had ever thought of going to their pay service- Hey Auctiva- BITE ME- HELLO MARKETWORKS
To the brilliant one with the foresight who said "don't put all your eggs in one basket" You know what- gee maybe some of us actually relied upon Auctiva, maybe some of us thought they would have a back-up, maybe some of us don't have the time to research ther "baskets."
or MAYBE
you are ......
My Lord. Why did you even bother to post this? How rude, ugly and nasty for an Ebay Store owner to post such a message with this kind of language on a public message board? Seeing how you behave in public can't be a good thing for your business image. For Heaven's sake, if you don't like the service, why don't you go on to a different one and leave out the nasty ugly posts from this site's boards? There's really no need for such rudeness and lack of appreciation to be exhibited in a public place for a free service that allows you to add nice templates and free pictures to your listings, reguardless of whether it is a store listing or an auction. You should be ashamed for how you posted here. So should everyone else who has raised so much ruckus over the servers being down for a few days while these guys busted their butts to get a better service up for all of us. And maybe you'd better make some time to put all your eggs into more than one basket. That's only simple common sense.
