amyamy, you just said a mouthful there!
So... anyone mad enough to go back to using Turbo Lister? Come on now, you know that's funny. 
Here we go again...just like a few weeks ago...I have dozens that aren't listing. I guess we get what we pay for.
Every freakin sunday we can't list. Nothing again is posting for me too. They should just close the site sundays so people know!
really couldn't help--i'm not an ebay professional--spent WHOLEDAY yesterday typing up all descriptions and taking photos--never had trouble with listing but this is my first time using auctiva--hate to swear but probably will not do this kind of online auctions 
I too, am tiring of the whole Ebay thing. 10 X 40 shed full of merchandise might see lit match after all.
i wish someone with some experience with this would chime in. ...what are we supposed to do?..wait and have them post in the middle of the night...will the scheduled posts do that?.. or are we supposed to reschedule them for another day and hope that they post then?.. i have been with auctiva and posting almost every single sunday night and i have never had this happen with my auctions before so i don't know how to handle it or how to get the listings to post...
OH GOODY!!!

oh well: another high tech web based site that does not work properly, so typical.

OOPS!.. posting at the same time wnrdog6
I guess we will have to just be patient. It's much better than feebay's prices itsn't it?
Anybody use the downloadable Auctiva Turbo Lister-like software?

lol--i guess their main profit comes from the pic hosting--auctiva allows us to upload MANY pics for FREE--therefore everyone goes ahead taking many of them--then when it is down. how many of us would like to post ONE and ONLY ONE pic to avoid the gallery fee?! at least i won't--each additional pic is 15 cents per listing--if i have 20 items and want to add 2 more pics to each--that is 2*20*.15=6 extra bucks! but if i started pic preparation with ebay in my mind, i will make sure to take fewer pics with better quality.
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
I just cancelled all my postings. I don't want them ending at 2am next sunday (or whenever they end up posting this sunday). Guess I'll take my chances tomorrow.
For auctiva newbies, I personally haven't ever had this problem before, but I only post every 2 weeks or so. Been using auctiva for a few years now with very few issues.

amyamy, Put all your extra pics in the description as HTML. As many as you want no extra charge.

really? you mean on ebay? thanks for the tip wnrdog6! by the way, does that mean that i should choose html editing and post the pic's URL over or the pic themselves?
sorry--too much a newbie to do that by myself *_*

ERR, not as HTML, but click the little picture thingy in the descrption toolbar, and uplaod as many as you want into the description.
Well I have been using Auctiva for about 3 months. This has happened maybe 3 times for me and I list items every day. Because this is a free service I am not going to complain, much. I do find it annoying but for me it isn't that big of an issue to list today or tomorrow. I have now switched the remainder of my items to list tomorrow. Funny I was just telling my husband today that I think not listing on Sundays might be good. I need a day to rest up. Maybe God is trying to tell me something through Auctiva, LOL! At any rate, the service is free and it works 99% of the time for me so I'm not going anywhere, just switching days.

Just look towards the right side of the tool bar when you make or edit your next Auctiva listing. You know, where you would BOLD or choose type font? There is a little yellow box with a flower in it. Click that, upload a pic, then click, drag & size it down. NO COST!
whaooo. they are workig on it!

Good, good, good. Just about the time when all the potential east coast are going to bed.
East coast customers went to bed without seeing my listings ending last Sunday, too.

i saw that button but does that only work for Auctiva listings?
Sounds like this happens more often for you guys than for me. Wonder why.
Now Firefox is experiencing a problem and needs o close. Twice in the last 5 minutes! It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!
Good night, all! Guess we'll try again tomorrow. 
Things are coming alive, I got one posted! Yippie!
They may be alive but they sure take a long time!
I got all 130+ posted. Not in one minute increments as I wanted, but their up!

Well it's three hours after I created my listings and they still haven't posted.

IT WORKED!!! Thans SO MUCH for the tip, wnrdog6! I just manually did the listing--most of the things end between 10 and 12
just cannot wait tomorrow evening!
My stuff is all finally posted that I scheduled to end at 8:30 to 9PM last night, but it all went up 1 1/2 hours (or longer) later. I presume there is no way to change the end time so that it could end while East Coast people are still awake! Is that so?
So are we going to have problems with lisings being posted this Sunday (6/22) as well? We would like to know before hand.
