Yup, me too. Am in the UK, but having just as many r/t errors as every where else. Gave up altogether yesterday having lost same listing 14 times. Managed to complete it and post it today, which was 3 hours ago and it hasn't been posted, despite being informed when I posted it, that it had been posted to ebay for immediate listing. Now sat in my saved listings marked 'Pending'. This is getting SO mind-numbingly frustrating!!! Auctiva has saved NO time and cost me LOTS of money in the past 3 weeks that I've been a member. If anyone has heard of an alternative free or cheap auction listing site that's any good and ebay compatible, PLEASE DO HOLLER!
This won't really help explain things all that well, but I wanted to let you all know that I've taken all of the development resources and put them onto stability assignements instead of working on phase 2.0 features.

I'm sure you'd all agree that having a fast, stable site is a lot more important than whatever new features we have planned for our next major release.

These projects are broken down into a few areas:

1. Database improvements. You've already heard about a lot of things happening and this is still a work in progress. Although you have not noticed because of other issues, the database performed a lot better over the weekend and today than it has in the past weeks.

2. Site development changes. Upgrading to .NET 2.0 and some other related upgrades.

3. Backend service optimizations. A lot of services that handle all of the grunt work, like updating the prices on your items and adding store windows need to be revisited.

4. Website slowness. A lot of what we're doing above is designed to solve the website slowness. But I wanted to mention it here as some additional optimizations not mentioned above will be specifically to improve site speed.

Paraphasing here: When its good, its very, very, but when its bad its horrid. There is nothing wrong with our browsers, computer speed, locations, time of day, what part of the world we live in, etc, etc. Its the website. It can't handle the load.

Suggestion: When you find that golden moment? As quickly as possible do one listing or several with various themes. Go to Save Listings, capture the HTML and save it into Turbolister as templates Now fully relaxed and with all your hair intact. Use the templates over and over for your listings. You can cut and paste pics within the Auctiva template. I've done this for posting directly in Ebay or Turblister and they are accepted. Also if you are getting API error messages that EBay will not accept your listing? Try the same thing and I bet dollars to donuts, your listings will post. Well that's my plan...except the system is so bad and slow tonight, I was only able to capture the HTML for *one* listing in the past hour...oh well best laid plans.
