Anyone else find that their scheduled listings are not posting to ebay?

flstci03Member

I wrote up about 15 auctions today and scheduled them to post to ebay this evening. The first 3 posted as scheduled, and then they stopped. I cancelled one of the posts after the time lapsed for trying to post to ebay and do it manually...but that didn't work. This is the second of the last 3 weekends that this has happened. A real inconvenience. I'd think Auctiva would be prepared for the onslaught of listings that usually happen on Sunday nights. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue. One item posted, then 2 items didn't post. They show under scheduled postings in a ready state.

Same here, tried listing 4 items only 1 showed up after a while, and have 2 now scheduled posting ready state.
This happened 2 weeks ago also.

The point of scheduling listings to post is for the convenience, and not having to monitor whether or not they do what Auctiva's service is supposed to do. This is becoming too unreliable and inconvenient. Perhaps its time to look for another service with a better track record. I've had this problem several times over the years. Unfortunate...

I'm experiencing the same problem - 4 auctions were ORIGINALLY scheduled to list at 9:15 - they still waiting...

What's the problem, Auctiva??

I'm having the same problem

Normally, this seems to correct itself in 10 minutes or so, but I'll have to wait and see.

It's been over an hour for me. I already have 6 or 7 listings that have not posted. I'm not sure what to do other than just wait it out and call tonight and what I did today a loss. Sweet Caroline - I don't know what will happen to all those listing attempts you made. Whether you'll have 1, 10 or NONE.

Well, there's also the 1 penny sale going on on ebay right now, so traffic might be a lot heavier than normal on Auctiva.

I still love Auctiva and the price is right...

You get what you pay for...or don't pay for!

What you can do is cancel the listings that haven't posted, use the "get HTML" feature in Auctiva and cut and paste into a "sell your item" form. Will work if you have only a few listings though. Otherwise it's just too time consuming...

My suggestion is that in anyone has any auction hanging in the scheduled bin for more than an hour and are about to quit for the evening then cancel them. If not they may just pop off like 4am or something and that would ruin your listing.

That's an excellent suggestion.

You do have to go and get the URL for the gallery pic and ebay main pic, but hey, at least it works...

What I have noticed is the visual listing appears in the category exactly six hours after confirmation by Ebay at the scheduled listing time. The auction will still end at the time you want it but we miss some valuable prime browse time. When the item does visually appear it shows 6 days 18 hours remaing in the auction.
Frustrating isn't it

I've been through this issue myself. There are even forums discussing this very issue and even talk of a class action lawsuit against ebay.

For me after a while, this problem just went away. It went from 6 hour delays for about a month, then 2 hours for another month, then went to instant listings. I think they do this with people who have not established themselves and put them in a watch queue.
