Hiya Jeff--let us know if you will be postponing tonight's move. I have listings scheduled to list on 3/12 (a fair amount of time/cushion), but if you forsee postponement, do let us know so I can reschedule/move up my listings. I check your community board everyday when I log in as I'm sure everyone else is doing the same. No complaints here~just anxiously waiting for the big day!! ;-)
NEED ONFO!!! FIRST IT WAS GOING TO BE THURSDAY.THE ALERT SAID FRIDAY NOW I HAVE ANOTHER ALERT STATING THAT IT WILL BE MONDAY ,WHICH IS IT?????
The change was going to be on Thursday, then Friday, and now Monday? OOOH MY!
Jeff,
You do what you think is best for your peice of mind and for the service that you have set up for us. If it means taking a few baby steps then so be it. Personaly I can hardly wait for the move as it will mean more uptime and reliability.

Well good, at least I'll have the weekend to post and then I can sweat out the down time Monday into Tuesday. Let's pray it gets done this time and done right. Good Luck Jeff and Co.
I wish you guys could stick to a decision. You keep dragging this out and putting it off and for what? Shut it down and move the thing already, one of 2 things is going to happen.
1. everything goes smoothe and your back up in a couple of hours.
2. It's a total disaster everyone walks away from the site.
If you can change the move to Monday then why not Monday 3/13/06 that gives us 9 days notice and those of us who don't want to chance losing money monday and tuesday when the images are not working can tak this monday and tuesday off so our listings are not effected.
Jeff is just contributing to his own stress and the staff's stress by making announcements and not going through with it and then you got to hear people like me bitching about it.

Would all this explain why recent aucions added to Ebay are not showing up in my Store Window?
I just do not get it! The guys at Auctiva are doing thier best to make this transition as easy as possible and you keep complaining. This is a BIG deal for all of us with auctions running through thier site. I have nearly 50 ending on Sunday night. If this were ebay you would get NO notice of anything. You would wait three days for a canned response. They are being as honest as possible. Personally I have listed some auctions at ebay just to be safe, but I am very anious to get back here to list. The service is great and I am getting great prices for my items with the extra pictures and templates. So please be patient for a week and let them get this done and then come back and enjoy the benifits.
I'm not really complaining about the service or the website I am simply upset that last night I expected this to all be over today. Now it's monday. Then it will be tuesday then thursday then next wednesday. So why not give it a week tell us straight up "Hey we are moving the servers next monday." Don't like it don't list for auctions to end at those times. End of story. If this were a NY based company they'd be done already because they'd have their ba!!s cut off if they didn't. Yeah yeah I know I know Impatient New Yawker. What can I say 
I love this site I am even considering the insurance thing like you said I just have to get all the info. I am working from it right now infact scheduling photos from tonight from saved ads and it's so easy to work with. I can't complain about anything else here. I never really have except last week when things went a little hay wire. LIke I said I am not really as upset as I sound about this. I have 23 ending monday and one that I know will go up over $100 so if this were all done last night I wouldn't have to worry about it now. But I am going to SD and revising mondays items so that I am using their code instead of auctiva for monday and tuseday. Why because I sell collectible magazines and don't want to take a chance of losing bids if they pull the plug before my listings end.

We just have to face there is no good time to do this. I was sweating Sunday Night as I expect it to top 2500.00 and maybe more. I start all my new listings on Sunday as well. So I have for this week listed a dozen here and 20 to 30 more over at the bay. If all is well by thursday next week I will be back here with 40 to 60 more auctions to list. Since this is my living I have to protect my weekly income. But this is a very nice easy to use site and I will just have to work around the big change. Think how much fun it is to move you home stereo Tv Surround Sounds Etc. Well this is SO much bigger and has a lot more riding on it so an easy transition for us all is worth the wait.
I understand the reason he waited but I just wish they planned it a little better and informed us sooner. I know they mentioned it in here but I usually don't get in here. I am averaging 2000-2500 a week too but I need to work and have listings working to get there. Thursday killed me. I am working now to make up for it though and I rushed yesterday to bang out 40 more. When I say bang out thats 12 hours between scanning/listing/ and of course my favorite goofing off time. I seem to do a lot of goofing off in 12 hours. But I work from home so I tend to get way to distracted. Anyway I am using SD as a back up and hopefully they won't decide to crash like they usually do.
HEY YOUSE AUCTIVA MUGGZ: No peeking at my dirty pictures while you are moving the servers. Hmmm I bet thats what is taking so long these guys are reviewing all of my photos.
OK...I see the move has been postponed. I just want to be clear so I know when I can start launching stuff again. Some stuff has been moved and is being tested - the rest of the servers will be moved on Monday - so are we still looking at a possible 12+ hours of downtime, or less? Is Monday firm for moving? I am anxious to get stuff listed again, but have been holding off so that my listings aren't missing photos and templates during the auction period.
I know this must be a stressful time for you guys and I appreciate the updates - I just want to plan around any outages. Thanks. :-)

Jeff I have over 40 listings saved on auctiva and 40 images saved here right now. I use this account for my non mature audience items.

erm, well 90 listings over the weekend that showed no pictures, apparently an ebay problem so maybe not all above is auctivas fault, ebay never got back on a refund though and all listings had to be cancelled. but today three listings as a test, none showing, saw them briefly without pictures and then they dissapeared. Good luck auctiva in sorting it all out and yes shipping insurance doesn't apply to Hong Kong people either so maybe even a donations box might help i'm sure some users in the community wouldn't mind a small amount each month
I doubt it was Auctiva, Homedogs, I didn't hear of anyone else with this problem, and my listings have been showing images even now, after the maintenance has started.
I have had pictures up and running all weekend but they are gone now that the big move is underway.
Well sorry to say I'm glad, at frist I thought it was just me! Mine too...all pictures bye-bye!
Hope they are back soon for all of us!!
Thanks for posting as I have been waiting to see if someone eles had this problem too!

We are really new here & we've been having some trouble with getting our ebay listings imported so that we can use the viewtracker.. I'm guessing it has something to do with Site Maintenance?? 
We were really excited about seeing how it works.. Could someone maybe help or suggest or answer this for us?? Pleeease?.. Thank you.....
