Anyone else getting the maintenance message?

yes me too....sigh....everytime Ebay does a listing special

I just got that message, too...as I was attempting to save a brilliantly written description. It's not Thursday...but it IS 20 cent listing day! Bleh!

This happens everytime ebay has a special on listing!!! I wish they would do the maintenance starting at midnight instead of the middle of the day! Very frustrating!!!

I have about 100 listings I just finished and was ready to schedule all at once, and now this. Does anyone have a clue if the site will be back up soon? I would hate for all of the hours I spent to go to waste.

of course! auctiva is notorious for this.

We're looking into it.

Ignore the maintenance message, and ignore the 6 hour thing. It won't be that long. Someone must have programmed that message to come up automatically and now it's coming up at the wrong time.

Actually the past 3 were fine.

There has been a brief interruption in service due to the heavy load. We are resetting now and should be back up in a few minutes.

We are not doing any maintenance.

Thanks for the update Jeff! Please keep us informed as to the problem and timeframe! The site has been working perfectly today up until about 10 minutes ago, I would hate to see everybodys hard work go to waste if they (and I) can't post today! I'll keep checking the boards waiting for an update, in the meantime it's off to take some more pictures!

Thanks for the update! You guys are Quick!

god that sucks! i have been listing things all day and i have a huge headache and this happens thats a bummer!!!

I think Auctiva is doing GREAT today! Frankly, with the special ewBay is running I more or less expected the site to be crawling starting at 6am this morning, so I was prepared to list directly with eBay. But... it's been humming along all day... until now. It's still not up, but I'm sure it won't take very long. Good job, Auctiva guys!

It looks like the minutes are turning into hours.

Jeff ... (Someone must have programmed that message to come up automatically and now it's coming up at the wrong time.)

It would seem to me to find that "someone" and ask them why that particular message and if you get some kind of dumb 'I don't know' then that someone should be put into a different department because he isn't a programmer.

I agree with Windmill Trading, the site has been running almost flawlessly for a couple weeks now.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AUCTIVA, WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!

Wow? Been working fine and now its not. Hope it gets going pretty soon. I'm trying to get in on the .20cents action. Only got 18 auctions up. Now its getting near prime time for listings. Thanks auctiva for the smooth service lately anyway.

The images are showing on the auctions ... that is a big improvement.

Hi Community.

Our engineering department has reported that this issue has been resolved, so you should all be able resume your listing frenzy to take full advantage of eBay's 20 cent listing day. Everyone's patience and encouraging words in light of this situation have been greatly appreciated. Thank you for understanding.

Super Duper..........Its all working again at light speed. Thanks again Auctiva.

Yeah, definitely took longer than a few minutes, which we're not happy about. Looking into that now.

Websites should be back online now.

If you did a "post now" from the listing page and your item has not posted in over 20 minutes, your item will need to be reposted. Please double check with eBay to determine if your items have posted or not before doing this.

WOW!!! Running perfectly again, Thanks Auctiva Team!!!

Yep listing is cool but showcase windows still not showing all the pictures

Glad to get more listed before the special ends in 7 hours

Thanks Auctiva

8:06 EST and Auctiva is down again. Sure would like to get into my saved listings to repost a few.

I disagree. I distinctly remember trying to list during the last few eBay specials and there were definitely problems! Auctiva obviously cannot handle the extra traffic, even though we were told that the huge migration to bigger computers last Spring would solve these type of problems.

Here are threads where people congratulated us on the smooth and fast listing for those days.

There was also a UK listing special day that was fast all day too. Most people here are US listers but we listed 2x as many listings as normal that day without anyone from either site saying anything was slow.

Today would make 4 sales in a row.

We listed 3x as many listings today as a normal Tuesday and the site ran as fast as a normal listing day.
