How many other users are experiencing slow or non existent image and listing uploading times? I have been using Auctiva for some years with no problems. OK there's always occasions when uploading is a little slower or quicker depending on traffic but recently, and for most of the day, uploading is pitifully slow for images and listings. Twenty minutes to upload a 210 kb image and ten minutes waiting for a listing to upload and then getting it timed out is extremely frustrating, I'm wasting so much time just waiting for uploads. It never used to be like this so what's happening? Did a recent site update narrow the bandwidth causing a slow down? The rest of the site is a breeze so it's not a general Auctiva problem. I've got to get sorted or it's just not worth continuing to use Auctiva.

I tried to upload a new listing yesterday about 6 p.m. and it still hasn't shown up in my active listings (let alone the search engines) at 6 a.m. the next day. That has NOTHING to do with my upload speed!

I spoke to ebay live chat and they have no record of my new listing, no fees have been charged. They said this is an Auctiva issue.

When it first didn't show up, I thought I must have hit "save" instead of "post" so I posted it AGAIN. Still not there.
TucsonTerry has got it right. It's nothing to do with upload or download speed. It's now about 1530 on Monday afternoon and I've just uploaded 30 images of about 200 to 230 Kb each in less than five minutes. There's nothing wrong with my upload speed there and this is how it used to be on Auctiva, an absolute breeze but I guarantee that if I'd tried to upload the same pictures after about 5 or 6 this evening it would have taken literally hours of frustration. It never used to be that bad, that's my point, something in Auctiva's system has changed and made things worse. Any other web site I use in the evenings is fine, I can download an ebay listing with images in seconds, watch a rerun of a BBC TV programme or a Youtube item with video without any problems so download is fine elsewhere but Auctiva grinds to a virtual halt. I would stress that the rest of the Auctiva site is fine, I can move around it without problems, it's the image and compiling a listing, even downloading a previous listing to edit brings the same problem. I have always listed in the early evening and it's not always possible to alter my routine.
