Site down

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 . . . .

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.

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.

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi-
I'm in Little Rhody and I just got pictures back.
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
PS - It's 4:44 EST

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.

This is not true. I was here listing Friday, and saw nothing. I don't do pop up pages, they are block.

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 . . .

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:

Let us who appreciate Auctiva use this forum space for topics that will be helpful.

Then you must have time and money to burn. I need to be able to sell to stay on EBAY!!!![/QUOTE]

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.

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.
