What we all have to realize here is eBay doesn't want Auctiva, Timber Creek, Kinem, FooDog or any of the many others AM systems around at all. Lets face it they are in direct competition with eBAy's sellers assistant so do you think they are going to give us any breaks? I think not! I don't envy you guys at Auctive or any other system because you not only have to contend with us you also have to appease the auction God.
If you guys want to link off the auction site just put it in text format like this;
'to visit my web site just cut "mysitename" and past into your address bar then add .com'
A bit sneaky but it works.
On the subject of sniping I also list auctions on Yesterday's Tractor auction site and there all auctions end at a given time or 10 minuets after the last bid. That way if someone snipes an auction in the last few seconds it still don't end for another 10 minuets giving anyone else a chance to bid back in.
