I really don't want to complain because I have enjoyed all of the features that Auctiva has to offer. Some things are akward, but hey, it's free, and I have found many ways to work around some things I don't like.
My BIG COMPLAINT is the time that Auctiva schedules its maintenance and shuts down the site... which is on Thursday, starting around (-8 GMT), but usually starts earlier.
My wife & I have been selling on eBay since 2000. Our best sales come Sunday-Friday, with Tuesday-Thursday being the best, and Thursday being far superior to any other evening.
Saturday is the most non-performing sales day of all, especially the early morning. Thursday all day and into late evening is the best... for me personally.
I'm wondering what other sellers here think. Does the scheduled maintenance shut down cause problems for you like it does me?
I would suggest early Saturday morning (EST), say around 3am or 4am as the best time to shut down the site. I've never had good sales or bids during that time period. That would seem to better encompass all sellers in every time standard.
Thanks!
