Hello,

I want to make a last ditch effort to get help before I give up and close my account. I was hoping that I could use Auctiva to make my own custom templates that are more professional than the ones I've been using that I make myself just with a simple html text editor. I was also hoping that I could resize my images here and use the click to enlarge features. However, so far I've been unable to find any instructions on how to do these things. Also my images always freeze when I try to upload them and my old simple html templates won't work in the "list your item" box on Auctiva even though they work on Ebay's "list your item" form. I also have somehow added the revolving showcase to some of my preexisting auctions and store items on Ebay and they are not working right. I also tried to cancel the Auctiva check out but the program states my existing auction and store items will still have to go through it. I've tried calling Auctiva but nobody ever calls me back. I do not want to use the pre created templates but can't find any instructions for using the custom templates' designer. All I know is some simple html. So far this has been a nightmare.

Does anyone know if there are any more advanced guides that explain features? Is anyone else having problems like error messages and images freezing on upload? I was really excited about trying Auctiva, but I just can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

Thanks for any help,

Shasta

I'm sorry this is happening to you Shasta.

I'm not experiencing these problems, but it's not to say you aren't.

Do you have pop up blockers going? Or have you scanned for spyware? Or do you have any toolbars installed that could have functions going on in the background.

I would advise you file a customer service help ticket. I've always heard back from them within 30 minutes absolute tops with my answer. Within a few seconds acknowledgement of their receipt of my question.

Good Luck,
Donna
Thanks for the help Donna and wayoutwest. I'll check these things out. Part of my problem is that I don't know how to use a HTML designer. I don't even know what the key with the anchor does. I've just been coding my own html on my little text editor. I didn't know there was so much to know to use a program. Is the custom template program here in anyway similar to Netscape Composer? I got a book at the library with instructions to use that. Or is it more sophisticated like Dreamweaver?
I'll also try filing a customer service help ticket.

Yes, basically anything that was posted through Auctiva while Checkout was enabled. But anything posted after it was disabled will go through eBay's checkout like normal.

You can also (if you haven't already) file a support request, which they'll definitely answer, from the bottom of the Help page.

Here's a really good tutorial done by Magie Noire.

It's step by step. If you have any more problems, do as Rick said and drop them a message.

Auctiva Brent is very helpful and will do what he can to help you.
