Byt the way, most were like me & listed today because the move was supposed to take place initially last Thursday (and then Friday), not this Monday. So, some of us are forgetting the original dates involved. Some of us TRIED to plan around this garbage.quote:Myself, I have a high end factory Pontiac 4 Speed Shifter ending in about an hour and a half . .. yeah, I know. "why did I list it to end today?" . .. Well, because I can be a Doo-Dah, I'm getting old and forgetful, whatever else . . . .
Hello everyone, Been reading throughout the day. I am on the east coast and I now have the dreaded x so were getting there. THANKS Auctiva.
I immedaitely stopped using Auctiva when the first move was annouced and went back to my free photo host and turbo lister. That has worked just fine.
I would suggest that until things are runnign smoothly, not to try and use Auctiva, as they are still ironing out the bugs after the move.
Auctiva is a great service and normally works very well. Have patience.

I use tinypic.com to manually insert my photo's when it looks like auctiva is not doing the job. This works for items that do not yet have a bid. Otherwise, you can add the url to the photo in the ADD TO DISCRIPTION box. It's better than nothing until the site is up again.
Yippy Skippy!! I have pictures! Now when can I start listing???
Georgia here........my photos and templates are back up and running although the store scroller isn't so we're getting there!!
come on folks, have some patience. don't be a cry baby. they will get it up and running again. it's not the end of the world. lol auctiva is a great service.

Me too, and I have a couple of firewalls + spamkillers + virusthingers, and a penchant to ignore things that are trying to get my attention when I am wanting to be busy doing something else - But Auctiva, THEY MADE ME notice that something was going on...and that's a pretty good feat - lol!, but I have had an "ALERT" notice blinking bright at the top of EVERY Auctiva page the last ... quite a few days - and it was no "Pop-Up" either - it was html - 'ON the page. And I don'think Auctiva has any time or the objective to be partial when passing out the e-mails or by having ALERTS on everyones page,,,???
And it should be apparant that it is getting quite a bit harder to be blaming other things or people . . .
quote:I took my image problems to ebay help and they said as long as my listings are associated with auctiva that I should contact auctiva not ebay.
That's a Serious NO-BRAINER there too .... So, just why would you bother eBay with this problem? Take responsibility that you are a Doo-Dah just like me, and either doesn't keep track of the days or dates, or you just plain didn't plan ahead . . .

Yeah, I don't think that works when there's just a few hours left and the listing is fixed price. I tried to do that with my listings earlier, and I didn't see a way to upload photos. Although, I could be wrong. It's been so long since I've listed directly from Ebay.
WOOOO HOOOOO my pictures are back in Pennsylvania. Good job Auctiva. Everybody from Auctiva deserves a Thank You from the Auctiva community.
Itchin' to list...
Well..YES..YES...Yes. Michigan is up and running!!!!gallery scroller is trying to load also. Keep it Going Guys..great Job 
i just looked @ one listing; piccie is there...which is good, given what i've read.
and is this why i cannot log in @ auctiva.com? i have it book-marked, and was taken here.

Hi everyone, does anybody no if this is effecting the checkout? My pictures too are not showing, but I do have a few auctions that ended in time, and I don't know if the buyer is able to check out or not? Has anybody heard or know if there is a problem for the sold items before the changed started, to allow buyers to checkout? Hope all is going well for the Auctiva guys, hope to list soon. Roxanne <><
I for one would never use auctiva as checkout. I did once and what a mess, they don't combine auctions for your buyers are you. Buyer don't understand why they are not getting just one invoice and combine shipping. With ebay check out you can go into one of the winners auction and it will combine all their wins together. Note eBay will NOT do auctiva checkouts if you had them set to do it already. You have to turn auctiva checkout off first and eBay will not touch the ones they did have. But will do the new ones after that. I been there. No, No way will auctiva ever do my checkouts again!
Thanks Peggy, I wondered a while back why I couldn't get a few to combine on one invoice. Thanks for the info, I appreciate that. So once were able to access our page info. I shut off the checkout on Auctiva? Will I still be able to purchase insurance through Auctiva? IF I disable their checkout?
Denia, as you quoted below, it also stated 12 hours. What's up? It's been nearly 24 now. They also stated two hours it will be up, that's been about 4 now. Your auctions that end this evening, GOOOOOD LUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not all about the auctions selling its about wanting to list to make money! No listings no money! Yeah, use ebay, well if you want to pay an extra $.10 each auction for scheduling.
[Why can't all you winers see this? I have over 150 listings affected by this, but I'm not complaining. I made sure that none of my Auctions would end until this evening, and didn't bother to list high-dollar auctions just in case. They've been warning us for over a week, if anyone is to blame, it's yourselves. ]Originally posted by Denia:

Well...there ya go. When it's all about money, you get what you get. You people need to understand the plan B plan. Take care of it yourself, the sky's not falling, you're not dead, you didn't lose your lifes fortune. Crap happens all the time, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and if you add up a life time of that it evens out. Twelve hours, so what? Twelve hours is an estimate, how in the ____ do you think they know how long it's going to take. Does Bush know how long this war is going to take? AND NOW...IT'S ALL BACK TO NORMAL. Son of a gun...all that bitchin' for what? NOTHING. Learn the plan B method of life and remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

I read something about checkout, am I to understand that an auction listed through auctica must be paid for through auctiva checkout? I'm new and not familiar with the process, and with the site down I cant go read about it
No, you don't have to use Auctiva's checkout but their checkout defaults to being ON when you sign up. So if you don't want to use it, you have to go in and turn it off.
go to preferences and turn it off or it will go though Auctiva checkout. choose paypal checkout.
Okay I have 4 listings that look to be "hung uP". They say scheduled but have not listed and it has been almost an hr?
Help, what to do?

What a juvenile response. And NO, it's not all back to normal...nothing has changed for me. Still no pictures, no showcase, nothing. For those of you who things are back to normal for you seem to have nothing to say except rag on the rest of us who don't have normal functions yet and pop off with immature responses. At the same time it seems to be the FREE customers who have service restored. Some of us here actually PAY for Auctiva and do not get it for free. I think we have a right to complain if we aren't getting the service we pay for, while you customers who get the service for free are getting service restored before the rest of us and tell the paying customers to shut up. Why would I expect someone to have no class who uses the service for free and can't appreciate the situation the paying customers are in. This isn't a simple hobby for some of us...it's a business....we have employees...with families and bills to pay....forgive us if we have concern that others are getting back the free service and some of us who pay for it aren't getting anything yet.
Thanks for the info on checkout. Preferences in Auctiva? (looked couldn;t find) or in ebay.
Just started using Auctiva and LOVE it but still kind of a newbie.

I can't seem to get any listings posted, either. Please let us know what's going on with this.
I am realy crazy also I pay for the srvice, and I seem not have gotten the email message, so I was planning on posting, why dose it seem that all the FREE people are up and we folks who have been here a long time and paid, just get blowen off. I live through all the updates and paid then too, I think that this may be a great update of the system and it should work better, but I would like to have had a lot more warning that this was going to take place.I hope tommorow is a better day for Auctiva, Beter get some star bucks get to work!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't you read your emails? Auctiva notifide all of you A-holes out there about this move last week! Remember ...it is a FREE Service...don't like it....then move on Laddy!
Geew whiz! Maybe not everybody got there emails... I know I didnt get a single one.. But maybe also not everybody saw the alert that was posted, and logged only into today and couldnt... I hate people who jump the gun and automatically think that they know it all and they dont! You dont know everybodys situation, and may or maynot have gotten a notice.. so chill pal.
Well are we up or not? My listings are still hung up as "scheduled". Been almost 2 hrs now. Need to know what to do, or how to fix, or.......
nevermind, I can't get anywhere but here again. ;(

Ditto Rhonda, I totally agree with you....people like mysterhalloween who behave in such a juvenile manner without a clue, and using even insinuated foul language have no business here. He makes the assumption that Auctiva is free for everyone which it is not, and he assumes to know everyone's situation. I am a paying, subscription based Auctiva customer at $50 per month, so he can jump off with his comments. Anyone who can't conduct themselves in a semi-professional manner should cork it unless they have something to offer. Allowing the bulk of us to moan about our problems all day on here has helped us offer some support to each other, and those that have a problem with that should butt out. Some of us have legitimate businesses dependent on Auctiva that go far beyond simply being a hobby. Nothing is working for me yet Rhonda, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything is back on track for you soon.
What's juvenile is paying for something that everyone else gets for free. I'll tell ya what else is juvenile, gettin' spittin' hot mad at the truth. Truth hurts doughnut? Stop whining, go help yourself and work on a plan B. Re-read my post and get enlightened.
Well, I read the Alert; planned around it - and advised customers on my email list that I would be listing new items this evening, starting about 7 p.m. EST. Well, I went through and did my listings, only to find out that there is no sign of them on ebay; yes, I was aware of the switch to a new server, yes I planned around it, and YES it was supposed to have been completed WAY before now! This isn't just a matter of photos not showing up (which many of mine aren't yet, BTW) - these are listings which I HOPE don't show up as starting when I submitted them, since they haven't actually shown up as posted to ebay. I also pay for an independent photo host, but in this case it doesn't matter - the entire listing is floating around in the ethernet somewhere!
Thank you, Auctive, for a wonderful free service. . .and I know y'all are working like crazy to iron out the bugs. AND I don't appreciate being flamed because I'm frustrated that the service isn't back up and running within 24 hours of when they said they would be!

My listings are showing up on ebay, but I can't sign in on my Auctiva to list. It keeps telling me Server Error in'/' application <customErrors mode="OFF"/> . So even though I get it FREE, it's still not up here in Michigan completely. The only way I'm getting to the boards is through my email. I need to list also, but am waiting with patience. Keep it going guys, your doing a good job, can't wait to use it again.

The service was NOT free years ago when I started using Auctiva you moron and as a premium member I can't use the services of the free site, and have much more available to me than the free site does, so thanks for making assumptions once again. Auctiva was a completely fee based site way back when. So this "truth" you speek of is something you know nothing about, so shall we go back to your immature behavior once again ? You assume to know everything, about every user here, and know each unique situation and you mouth off about it instead of trying to be helpful. People like you only complicate the situation and add fuel to the fire. Everyone here is frustrated enough and you seem to take joy in chiming in on it. Since you have a plan B as you speak of, that should mean everything is working fine for you and you should have no need to come here.....that tells me you are only coming here to be a nuisance. If you have any common sense then you yourself know that is quite juvenile. I suspect you will respond with something useless and prove my point. It's always the people who get something for free that have no appreciation for the rest of us who have to shell out the bucks for it.
I keep getting the following error whe i try to save/schedule an auction??? Pl help

hi, i listed around 7 tonight and my listings still aren't on ebay. I don't know what is going on with it. The day is about over and they said it would be done today. I lost a lot of sales this past week because 58 of my auctions that i listed with auctiva the pictures did not show up on the auction. They showed up when i created the auction but when they posted they weren't there. So disappointing after paying all the fees and no item for the buyers to see. I didn't know the problem was there until today when almost all the listings were ending. I had listed them last tuesday. Now i tried to list a few and hit Post/Save which was to post right away. But they didnt.
Yes, the site is down for all practical purposes. I too, am losing money. We all are. That's no reason to be "at" each other! There's nothing we can do and whining about it isn't going to help. I am certain the folks at Auctiva are working overtime to get it corrected. BTW, if I got a notice, the grimlins ate it.
Enough for today... Say a prayer that all will better in the morning... Lets all have a beer and call it a night.. ""The sun will come up tomorrow""..
Keep workign Auctiva techs, You can do it, we are almost there.....
