Is there anyway I can make sure that everything is up and running with my authorize.net gateway account? I don't want to list 20-30 items and find out that i configured something wrong.
You could create a test listing...like a 1 cent store item w/ free shipping and have someone you know bid on it and go through checkout.
As long as you've entered your Authorize.net info at Auctiva -> My Account(tab) -> checkout Settings, the gateway should be functional but I understand your concern. Doing a test listing is probably a good idea.
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
