From my experience and what I see on the boards is there are few problems if you launch direct and do not use the scheduler. I have stopped using the store window due to it being sporadic at updating. I never used the checkout because all services seem to have issues with that. I also will not buy from a seller if they direct me to use a checkout other than eBay’s. As you can see just use the parts that work for you. Unlike other services that charge and are broken at least Auctiva it is free. My one big complaint with all services is the lack of notifying about issues with the service. They wait until the boards are full of angry users and then pass it off as a temporary issue, even though it has been going on for days. I guess that is more than my 2 cents worth.
