Auctiva is dancing around the issue. If they are planning this for "later this year", then surely there is an estimated date??? Just like planning a wedding, you set a date and plan and plan some more, send announcements so people anticipate the event. Yes, lots of work, but that is life in most businesses these days. My husband is contractor. They can give estimated date for any job they bid, even before the ground is cleared. Auctiva is not starting from the ground up, they are established company.
Yes, programing is not something that happens overnight, and it does not take a rocket scientist to know that. However, nothing happens of noone is working on it.
Ebay announced plans for this months ago, perhaps auctiva should have been "thinking" about it then. It is not new news that this was coming. It started June mid-June which is over a month ago.
Auctiva's suggestion was to list through them and then going to ebay and revising the listings. This is a time waster, and listing through ebay costs us more money because of pictures that we are paying to have hosted by auctiva.
However, if it is not something you will use that is why you do not care. Others do.
Passive people are never heard. Just like you said you sat back waiting on auctiva to change the fees back to do the right thing. Do you REALLY think that those fees would have been changed without someone raising the roof??? If so you are in fantasy land. If everyone sat back we would be paying LOTS OF $$$$$$$$$.
It is obvious that perhaps you are a recreational seller and do not care, others sell for a business and they are only asking for what we are paying for. We still need DATES for plans so we can either hold on those items that apply or list another method.
I am sorry if our posts steam you , as do most of the people who posts written but passive people get no where in life.
