I believe loco is referring to the time period lag that occurs when Auctiva acknowledges that there has been a SALE (or a bid, even), not when an item gets posted up to ebay.
Sometimes Auctiva doesn't register my sales for a WEEK or TWO afterward. It gets hard to deal with, as loco says. You can speed up this time lag by asking Auctiva support to look at it, but if I did that for every sale that's all I would be doing
