Posting in "all caps" isn't going to help get you the help you might like. On a board or forum it is construed as yelling.
This "delay" is something that is well documented here. It's too bad that we don't know it before we list, but ebay has control over that knowledge and how its used. The politics of that is also well documented here, you might want to take a look at that to understand why it happens.
In the end, ebay controls it with the expressed reason being it is to protect buyers and sellers from phishing and spam etc.
Once you use Auctiva for a few times you will see the benefit.
Realize you need to get your listing done ahead of time and or then schedule them for when you want them to go or post them immediately. There is no fee on Auctiva for scheduling.
I usually schedule it for late at night or very early in the morning so that it has time to hit the next morning.
After awhile it appears that ebay allows our listing to happen much faster. The intitial wait is gruelling for new users. It gets better. Good luck with your sales.
