Not criticizing the Auctiva Team -- they are super individuals -- and the site serves me fine when it is up and runnning. I am questioning the timing of a deliberate maintenance down time conflicting with eBay offers to users. Auctiva is not a new site, it was founded in 1998/1999. I have been a member of Auctiva for a year now during which I've given much patience and forgiveness to the countless times I have prepared a listing only to have my time and work go to waste because of sudden unexpected down times. I never know from one listing to the next if my listing will make it to ebay. My frustration is in the unpredictability and I hope that can be resolved in the upgrades. This is my first time back on since I started this post last night about 11:30 p.m. I haven't tried to use Auctiva today yet.
