Quick update:

It's been a long night, but we do have all the servers moved from Oakland to Sacramento. They are in place, up and running and all of that.

We're just working on the last few pieces of the puzzle right now.

Hopefully finished within an hour. Two at the most. I'll update you here if things change.

-Kevin

Thanks for the update!

Hi Kevin,

We appreciate your update and look forward to the NEW AUCTIVA ~ Please thank everyone for their hard work and diligence ~

I am thankful for an UPDATE! But, hmm its been more than 2 hours! I hope things are up and running smooth here soon.

Always lies....somehow 12 hours has turned into all day. Thanks for screwing my auctions. Never can trust Auctiva. They are much better at making up lies than following through with anything!

Oh darn my fault.. my computer clock is wronge... sheesh... LOL

ditto!

They are only 3 hours behind schedule and it was planned and we were informed of the upcoming downtime. They are doing everything they can and sometimes, when dealing with computers, things don't always go as planned. Why does it have to be a lie?

LMAO!!! Good Point

I am really trying to be patient. I have had 4 emails just in the last hour letting me know my pics are not showing up. Luckily I have them archived and I just sent them the pics.

HEY!! One of my auctions has the listing template working - and the images are hosted by Auctiva! Yay1! PROGRESS - Go guys! Go Guys!

*alicia jumping around in cheeleader get up*

Its funny how everyone shows up to cry when the site is down rather than speak up when this was being planned to ask auctive to reconsider moving the site on a date that doesn't interfere with 1. the .10c listing day ending and 2. to ask them to consider waiting 7 days so we woint have listings ending. But now we are all here to bitch ain't we.

P.S. dawnblue made me say that. LOL

I have a question for you guys.

Have you ever been working or fooling around on the computer and said to your significant other, a friend, a co-worker, a child, or your anyone, "I'll be just another minute", 3 hours ago?

This is so disappointing. I started using Auctiva about 2 months agao and reccommended it to a dozen or more others who are now using it.
I can't beleive that this server move couldn't have been done more quickly. And although we were told about the maintenance, I think they were sorely lacking in not letting us know all the ramifications. I have auctions with no pictures, buyers unable to pay for their items and all the emails that are coming as a result. And on top of it, I can't list any new auctions. By my count, we have now been down for 16 hours, with no one telling us how much longer it will be.

I guess I start looking for a new listing site. I need reliablility. Even if I have to pay for it.

Actually, they did just post a minute ago that it was going to be 1-2 more hours. They also said the service was going to be unavailable - Pictures and checkout are part of the service. They will be more reliable after they are through. It's just growing pains.

well I think auctiva is great .....and let us not forget its free!!!!

I too have listing ending.....actually in an hour...no pictures....but....there surely has to be some sacrifice...for a quality service..

I have been reading this site today and am appalled by some of the negative comments...

some of you need to get a grip on reality......

I *do* think it's very unfortunate that they chose to do this when all of our ten-cent listing day items are closing. I wrote and asked them to consider that, but I guess I was a lone voice in the crowd. I planned all of my auctions around the initial move date, and then they changed their move date and that really messed things up. I hope it's fixed soon. I do appreciate their efforts to make things better and I truly hope it works this time!!

If you would like to try something that I have found MORE reliable than auctiva and it is free....

And for all of you who think you are so cool by just hanging out and waiting...must not be your only source of income or perhaps this is the FIRST time Auctiva has lied to you.

Moonandstarman

HAHA I though so too... gives more room for us posters that have alot or ROOM to occupy! LOL
Sad but true...

And funny how that person knew that auctiva was going down for a while...

****dawnblue... about the computers... so true... they are are more MOODY than humans... tehee If they dont like you they crash.LMAO

Auctiva is free, 1 day outage out of 3 months of using it is not bad. New servers & location should mean better service. It is a shame that it did happen within a 7 day period of a special ebay promotion.....

Freddy - duck - here comes a frying pan for that last one!

I opened your email and a frying pan jumped out and hit me on the head. Last time I open an attachment from you. LOL.

Nope you don't have to use their checkout

WOOOOOOO Jeff won't like you posting this here!!!!

Did you say "You were Leaving"? Okay than!

I have lots of auctions ending and few selling but if that is what it takes to improve that's Progress if we just give them time I am sure we will all be better off and if something don't sell just relist after there up and running again I bet they have been working very hard to get it done as ASAP so be patent

oh well, perhaps JEFF ought to make promises that he can keep then HUH???

I quit for a LONG time because of all the headaches I had using them. Just in the last week did I use a few auctions to see if anything had improved. Obviously I am wrong.

Sorry that someone needs to state the facts.

And I am sure that MY feelings might really be hurt if JEFF gets upset

Its about time SOMEONE over there gets upset. There are certainly enough people that Auctiva has upset.

Perhaps if he gets upset he will do something creative like fix the problem.

HEARING me JEFF??

Disgruntled or not, I think it is extremely tacky that you are posting links to other sites. If you want to go, then go - but take your negative attitude with you.

I don't feel like I am being cool by just hanging around and waiting. I am doing other things - taking pictures, relisting duplicate items and listing through eBay by hand coding my listings so I can use mulitple pictures without having to pay.

I am a powerseller on eBay - so I do get a very large portion of my income from eBay. I'm not a hobbyist selling off stuff around the house. I just bought 100 items to upload.

My attitude has nothing with being "cool". It has to do with me being patient and understanding that things don't always go as planned. I also know that they are doing everything they can and told us the service was going to be unavailable.

I have 51 listings that are ending today (all the other listings have already sold) - but I'm not blowing my stack. Negativity doesn't help anything and posting links to other sites is just down right rude.

This is ridiculous that it is taking so long. I am so glad that I waited to move my listings here until after the move. The $9 I paid to keep listing elsewhere was worth it!

If the move had happened Friday night, and the outage extended into Saturday morning, that would have been much better than having images down today.

I hadn't thought about the FPL ending today and so maybe it would have been better to wait to move stuff. But the site has been so buggy for the last week or two, the move really needed to be done sooner than later...

Say what you want. I depend on my next meal and having a warm place to live on my auctions. So actually Auctiva is NOT free today. It is actually COSTING alot of people ALOT. I had no problem until it went WAY beyond the time that was mentioned in the email that I got. So you just sit there and be nice. More power to you. Hope you don't starve!

I am a refugee from SD and I love it here, I have never had so many options for listing my items, I love being able to choose the positioning of my images IE left _ right whatever. and how can you beat the price. A little inconvience I can live with, I think they have a fantastic service and would stay if I had to pay or for free.

Don't you think it's funny that those who bash those of us who are waiting, have the time to register a community account and post?

"And for all of you who think you are so cool by just hanging out and waiting...must not be your only source of income or perhaps this is the FIRST time Auctiva has lied to you."

This is really the first time I have had time to post to these boards, and I am really saddened that people treat others this way. I guess it's easy to trash people when you don't have to look them in the eye.

All this anger is bad for your health.

WOOOHOOOOOOOO all photos seem to be up and running with the exception of the store window...

I won't starve - It hasn't gone way past - just a few hours. If you depend on eBay solely, then you are crazy for not having a backup in case something happens.

Sell on Amazon and eBay. Use 2 image hosting services - have a back up plan - it's just plain common sense.

I seriously doubt ONE day will make you starve - if it does, then maybe you should consider something besides selling your yard sale finds on eBay.

Your photos are up??? Mine aren't. Anyone else have images?

It would sure be nice if this "NEWS" forum actually had NEWS instead of gripes, witty retorts and other nonsense. There doesn't appear to be ANY forum that is striclty news from the staff at Auctiva, instead I have to wade through all this other clutter to get any information - the last of which said 1-2 hours 3 hours ago.

Just for a clue, when images start showing up on THIS site, then it's likely images will be showing up on our listings once again.

not yet for me

YHHHHHH H
