ATTENTION MIKE AND JEFF!!!
UPDATE
The problem is far from one sided.. THIS ISSUE EFFECTS ALL EBAY USERS EVERYWHERE due to the beef with sprint and cogent over cogent not wanting to fulfil the contractual obligations and pay the bills, the internet has been cut in 2. Sprint based backbones and providers and Cogent backbones and providers can no longer communicate over the internet.. Auctiva uses Cogent My isp uses Sprint Therefore i can not get onto auctiva to create listings, my supersized images and HTML have all disappeared and kiss the scrolling gallery goodbye! well some would say just switch your isp.. WRONG ANSWER A BIGGER ISSUE HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED!!! even if you switch your isp so that you can once again use the beloved auctiva ALL of the other users using a sprint backbone can STILL no longer see any of your auctiva goodies I.E. Templates, supersized images, scrolling gallery, HTML, AND THE LIST GOES ON... I had one bidder email me stating that he could not see the images on a listing where the pics are quite crucial!! this means he will no longer be bidding and maybe my $500 item will only go for $300???? THIS IS A REAL DILEMMA AND ALL ANYONE NOT ABLE TO USE Auctiva SHOULD FILE A CLAIM TICKET WITH YOUR ISP!!! in my experience the only way to make a giant corp. do anything is to get a lot of pissed off people asking the right questions and giving them as much grief about the issue as possible. And shame on them for letting there corporation mentality and pissing contest effect THOUSANDS of small businesses. This issue is literally tearing the internet in half creating an impossible scenario for small businesses. Congratulations Sprint and cogent you have successfully taken away MILLIONS of our potential customers. And a side note to Cogent..... Pay your damn utility bills everyone else in this world has to..
And a second note.. think you can just switch to a proxy server to upload pics and log on to auctiva...
well if you are lucky enough to log on you have about oh a .00000001% chance of actually being able to upload your pictures and guess what everyone out there using sprint still cant see them and you will have to deal with the obvious issue of a ton of unblockable popups that come with all proxy servers
by the way being the nice guy that i am i will list the one proxy i have found that kinda works proxsurf123.info
PS my isp is also WOW (wide open west)seemingly would have nothing to do with Sprint right?? think again WOW a very large ISP in the northeast with MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS uses..... YOU GUESSED IT a SPRINT BACKBONE!!!!!!
ALSO the powers that be will get a laught out of this... i had to sign up just to post this with a secondary email account because of this issue auctiva emails will no longer reach ANY msn/hotmail users... i would not consider that a "minor issue only effecting a few users" how many ebay users do you think use an msn email address 10s of millions maybe???
this is only one of the hundreds of issues that in sure will be shown in the days to follow! This is like blocking off a one way road and not having a detour...
