Even though, as you say, the site seems to stay online enough to host your photos (the rest of your listing resides on ebay's servers)(not sure about the template graphics), that really doesn't address whether or not Auctiva will actually post a scheduled auction during the maintenance period. How do we know the scheduling function still does its thing during that time? Maybe an Auctiva worker or another member with direct experience needs to tell us. Inquiring minds want to know.
