Opps tommyray71.. i wasnt fininshed with that post sorry...
If you click go back and then go foward on your browser it will eventually get you there.
Oops! I hit return too soon. Another thing I've learned from this: A person can get free picture hosting from Photobucket.com. Another thing about pictures, you can save them in a file in your computer and put up one for the gallery, or add some for $.15 each, of course. eBay has free "picture show" now.
Once Auctiva gets running right again, Auctiva will add your gallery photo to their slide show automatically.
I did list some things in eBay and used their picture services, paid extra; then, finally, just started using one picture like I used to. People are still selling items on eBay with only one picture.
It is a good idea to not have "all your eggs in one basket," as someone already pointed out.
I feel for the Auctiva crew. I know how complicated it is just trying to get an unfamiliar computer program to work, like Word, and how long it takes me just to LIST items. Imagine what it must be like to try to actually SET UP and PROGRAM everything to work!! I love you, Auctiva. You have made many of my auctions very PRETTY!! Thanks for all you do!

Umm...professionals are supposed to be able to deal with such things - it's their job. These aren't folks with other jobs just doing this as a hobby or past-time (or is it?)
It is now 12 hours past the 12 hours... get some real techs! FREE! yeah you get what you pay for....
Uh-huh - and those that pay get even less...
Is anyone else having trouble getting new pics to upload?
An easier count would be a show of hands of those that DO have things working as advertised...

Whats going on?? they are still haveing run time errors... if you try your image and it doent work, keep clicking on the box, it will eventually let you do it. run times errors seem to be under categories, and choose specifics.
Ya Know, I've done customer service for a nationwide financial services company, and there were times the computers were down; the big professional computer services company worked on it overnight, and, sometimes, we were just sent home.
Other times, the company arbitrarily closed down a customer service branch office before being ramped up to handle the usual amount of calls. Our location was inundated and overwhelmed with calls, and the customer wait-time was 20 - 40 minutes. "Professional" companies aren't perfect, either, and, believe me, their only motivation was profit; they didn't give a rip about the harm their mistakes caused the customer. All they cared about was how fast you could get on and off the phone. If you actually took the time required to actually solve a complex financial snafu, you would be in trouble for taking too long. I'll take Auctiva and eBay any day.

My images are up, I am another satisfied customer.

Very well put ,this is what they do and they are working to get it resolved , NOW KC425 i assume Ebay is what you do ?
Well please tell me what is stopping you from listing auctions , are you completely unable to work around auctiva ? surely you can write up an auction and dont have to completely rely on auctiva to do it all for you ?
No thats not it , is it , you would rather sit here all night trying to stir up trouble , its going to be boring when auctiva gets back up and you have to actually get back to work ?
I do a LOT more than eBay. But on this subject, many of the items I list require multiple pics. Again, I am not a FREE customer. It's bad enough that the free users have to tolerate this. But neglecting paying customers is unacceptable.
I've been patient. I've been rewarded. My images are all working just fine. Thanks Auctiva.
avanteguardeinc . . . Geez What a DICK .. .oh, excuse me . .. that is your name isn't it . .. .Dick?
Maybe, if you don't want people to assume at your name - you should take better care with YOUR hostility . . .and YOUR name calling - I apologise - it is just really something - Bad Vibes you could call it - your aura sucks because of your attitude - and I had just about had enouogh of your complaining in such a hostile way . . . it made me think about how people originally got their names in "ye olden times" . . . "Cook" - "Taylor" - "Baker" - "Dick" Again my apologies - But you should understand ... you probably had to grow up around all kinds of Hostile, Complaining, Blaming etc, to be that way yourself.... maybe you can remember what it was like to have to be around and put up with that sort of behavior and how offensive it is to some of us - it's a very nauseating spectacle to have to go through as a spectator!

This Auctiva site is a total mess. They have really done it this time! I have lost potential sales because several of my auctions ended with no pictures available for the buyers viewing. I spent alot of time and money on my auction listings, only to have them end because interested buyers were looking at blank spaces where my pictures once appeared. What a joke! And forget about even trying to tell this to Auctiva. You can't even access their help page or log into your account. I think Auctiva owes all of us affected by this problem free relistings on ebay, since they goofed. I am appalled with this service and feel it can not be completely trusted.

Thanks for the kudos. Some of our employees were working for 20-30 hours straight making this move happen.

Well, I read all the posts. I was not able to post auctions last night so that cost me money.
Bid deal! I'll get it back in a couple of days just by increasing the number of listings each night.
The Auctiva folks are good people and, for those of you who cannot stop your constant whining, I suggest you pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to MarketWorks or Channel Advisor or even the scum-sucking maggot encrusted vermin at Andale.
And in particular, for the "genius" with the "Shut Up" emmission, It would appear that you are a jobernowl who, while logodaedalus are incompossible with the standards here and are certainly not someone we would want to grok supernaculum.
Clapping! Standing ovation!!
I would like to thank Auctiva and the staff for doing the move so efficiently. I had few problems, and simply listed via Ebay when I did. I surely appreciate the ease and options of Auctiva after having gone back and to list thru ebay! Having tried several listers, paying and non, and I have to say Auctiva is the best by far!!!
I am a paying customer and I did not get a notice about this shutdown. I don't come here unless there is a problem. Send an email next time.
