Thanks for the info, you guys are quicker than eBay! I have yet to receive an email from them, got it last time. Glad I always check the communtity before I list. Thanks again! gotta go list..fast!
Good tip, thanks Jeff!
We used to make "coming soon" listings as place holders but ebay has cracked down on them and will pull them with no refund or relist credit so yes I guess this will work if you cancel them ASAP

If you end them immediately, you have still been charged the 10-cents, right? Do you then ask eBay for a whole bunch of FVF credits?? That would seem like a big tip-off to eBay.
Then, when you relist, you are charged another 10-cents. So, it seems to me you are actually paying 20-cents total. Still pretty good, but I just wanted to make sure I was understanding the concept correctly.
Last 10-cent day, when I ran out of time, I listed a bunch of items that I already had saved, then I immediately revised them into new listings. Also, to save time on special listing days, I sometimes will list without a picture and then take pictures and add them the next day.

Hi, and thanks for the tip, I need to clarify something. Can you count on ebay having a ten cent day at least every 90 days?? And something I used to do a lot of was if I had listed a dud and didn't want to relist it, I would just change everything in the original listing to an item I was pretty sure would sell. Got a lot of relisting credits that way.
All of these great tips don't help when we can't even access Auctiva to list today!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so I think I figured it out myself. You can ignore my dumb question below. When you relist and it sells, you get the relist fee back, right?

This is 8 minutes after your post and it appears that auctiva.com is functional. What problem are you experiencing with the site?
Thanks

Well, it's quite a bit after we *first* started posting about the problems. See other threads. I was able to finally list my first item of the day. THANK YOU. I will be back to heap praises on your name later, but right now I have to make up for lost time.

Wish I would have thought like the Big Boys. That's a great tip! Thanks Auctiva!!
Now nothing is working again. We both spoke too soon. I got ONE listing done!!! Why do you only post when things are working? We don't seem to get answers when they're not.
I keep getting the server / error message.

Yes, item specifics isn't always working, nor are the templates always loading, but especially my photos won't load. 
Right now when I try to select an image, I am taken to the home page. Before, I was given the server error message.
And right now there is only one item showing in my saved listings file, and I have tried several times to get it, using both links. Photos still won't load, unless I save the auction without them, pull it back up and redo it. I must have cleared my cache 10 times today. This problem with images not loading is ongoing but I have never gotten an answer from support on it.

Here is a dirty trick. I'm not sure how I feel about it but I've seen some big sellers do it and so far eBay has looked the other way.
It goes something like this... Create listings as quickly as you can at your normal prices. Then immediately after they start them you can end them early. Then you have 90 days to relist those auctions and they are relisted at the 10 cent price. If the item sells you've got your listing for 10 cents. If it doesnt sell I guess you pay the normal price, but that's no worse than you would have paid normally.
What some sellers do is create as many listings now as they'd normally launch in 3 months. Then over the 3 months they just use those relists to list the items. It's basically a way to get all your next 3 months worth of listings at the 10 cent price. Basically what you are doing is building up a huge pool of relist credits at the 10 cent rate.
Dirty, but so far it's allowed. Just be sure to end your items immediately after listing them. It's not fair to other sellers to muck up the search results with your empty listings.
If your a seller listing $500 items this could save you nearly $5 per item you list.
Some sellers are afraid that things like this may make eBay give up on 10 cent listing days. Others already hate them because their categories are filled with junk and their sell through rates suffer. Personally I think eBay already accounts for things like this happening when they fact in the cost of doing a day like this. I also think eBay isn't doing days like this out of the goodness of their heart. They're trying to either pump up their quarterly #'s or they're preplanning for a holiday when listing counts would otherwise drop by seeing th e site now with cheaper listings. In short these 10 cent listing days are needed to keep listing counts high and vital.
Hi!
You have the first part of this wrong but don't have time to explain...Jeff has it posted.
