Confusion re: How to list as Buy it Now without auction format?
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I tried to list using BIN option for 1st time yesterday and it seems that in Auctiva you still have to have the auction start price format as well as the BIN price. I only want to display the BIN, not have bids as well. Is this not possible when listing via Auctiva? Any help in how to achieve this would be most appreciated, Thanks.

Connection problem
I recently started using Auctiva for my ebay listings and had no problems getting my listings posted. However when I now access ebay , my internet connection is lost when I try to exit - this did not happen prior to Auctiva being used. To fix the problem I have to reboot my PC and also my wireless router. If there is no known answer to this, how do I unsubscribe from Auctiva so I am able to use ebay as normal.

Considering Auctiva - what are the archive capabilities?
Hi. In a nutshell: I need a tool that will allow me to archive eBay listings longer than the 90 days eBay allows. So, for example, I want to keep any unsold ugly holiday sweater listings available for easy re-listing next holiday season. Does Auctiva do this and what are the capabilities in terms of capacity (number of listings it will archive) and duration? Thanks.

Considering upgrading to a Premium eBay Store...

Consignor Payout Report NOT working
The only reason I need Auctiva software is to keep track of consignors and to create accurate payout Reports in a timely manner. I reported a problem with Payout Report months ago and it is still not fixed. Auctiva does NOT follow my fee schedule and continues to add in eBay Listing fees which it should not do (I charge a flat % rate and do not add in any eBay fees). I have to massage the report by hand and delete the invalid fees. This is bad enough. Now I cannot even produce that report. I...

Constant Lack Of Response From Auctiva

Constant 'LOG IN' required..........why???
Hi - over the past couple of days, when I am reviewing listings (for re-posting etc) and change pages within the 'Saved Listings' area, Auctive reverts to the 'Log-In' page instead of just changing, for example, from page 1 ot page 2 of my saved listings. This is very frustrating, especially when I keep being taken back to Page 1 all the time. Driving me nutty. Any advice welcome....or is it just another Auctiva 'glitch' among the many happening over the past week or two......grumble,...

Contact Member link?
I'd like to add a link to my Auctiva Store to allow members to Contact Me via eBay's contact member form (I don't want to give out my personal e-mail address), this way members can contact me via eBay and it will mask my e-mail address.

CORRUPTION IN CONSIGNMENT STUMPS AUCTIVA ENGINEERS
I am told Auctiva has found corruption in the Payout Reports that duplicates the descriptions and zeros out the amounts in the reports. So we are supposed to give our consignors a report that looks like this? I have to fill in the zeros and write in the correct item description. It is amazing that their engineers are stumped by this but they acknowledge the problem exists.

Cost?
I signed up for a Free Auctiva Month's trial. It looks like a lot of work to learn and put in place. I already have an established eBay store and adding Auctiva to my listings will be a big investment of time. Therefore it's only worthwhile doing this trial if I intend to commit to Auctiva afterwards. But I cannot find any details about what it will cost when it is no longer free. Can somebody spill the beans please?

Counter For Auctiva Store?

Counter Question
I long ago discovered that Andale counters aren't always dependable and that refreshing the page will help in giving you a more accurate count. However, I've noticed that if I refresh my auction page, Auctiva counter will add one to the count.

Counter questions...
I guess every new person needs to ask a few of these questions...

If I want to use the free Sellathon counter, is there a way to get a different design? (My wife does not like the "little" numbers that show up on that one).
