How do I "schedule" a listing? Can someone walk me through the exact steps I need to go through?
Thanks so much for your help.

Hi, I schedule ALL the time, hopefully I can explain it easily 
Assuming your listing is done and saved...
>Check the little box next to whatever listings you want to use and then click on the blue 'schedule 'button
>You will see a calender for your date and the times. (Remember it's ebay CA time PST)Enter what you want. The page usually refreshes after each click.
>Then click on 'apply changes' button
>Click on 'schedule' and you're done!
Even if I missed a step (I'm trying to remember without having it right in front of me) You'll be able to figure it out. You can do a bunch of listings at once, or one at a time.
Good luck!

Oh, forgot...after you click on 'schedule' the final time you'll get a pop-up box confirming the info you've just entered.
Ok, thanks so much!!!
The reason I asked is because the last time I attempted to do this, my auctions went straight up without waiting for the "scheduled" time I selected. I don't know what I did wrong....but, it didn't work for whatever I did. lol
So, if I make a new listing and "SAVE" it, it's not going to go up, right? Can I just make a listing (s) and "save" them to "post" or "schedule" at a later time when I am ready for them to go live? Do I just click "save" for that??

Ooooh sorry for such a late reply!
When you do a listing just click 'save'. If you click 'post' it will be listed on ebay right then & there. So yes, just click 'save' then you can go back whenever you want and either post immediately or schedule. I like doing it this way, gives me a chance to go over it again in case I want to make revisions before it goes to ebay.
Good Luck

Cool! Thank you so much!!!!
Hi,
I suggest you go to your Auctiva account settings and set your Preferred Time Zone under Account Preferences-Listing Management (second box on the page).
If you set this to your local time then the time that shows on the scheduling page will be your local time.
Hope this helps.
