After using the site for some time now, and really enjoying it, I have an idea I'd like to mention that may give some food for thought to the "powers that be" at Auctiva.
1. On your main page, where you have your "alert" now- why not permanently put up a "system status" icon or banner? If and when anything at all is going wrong with the system- a user could just quickly glance at that box and tell before they begin work on a new listing, or set of new listings, if there is going to be any trouble that the administrators may already be aware of. Maybe put a clickable link in that status box to a page where whatever's wrong could be explained, or details given about when to expect a fix. And if everything is running smoothly, the system status icon or message box could be green and have something that reads basically to the effect of "everything is good" go for it type thing.

Just wantd to say again how much I enjoy the site, and you are a Godsend for those of use who don't want to, or CANT afford to pay Ebay's high fees for additional listing features. Thank you, I hope your move goes well, and I hope you will be here for a LONG time to come. Good luck!!!!!!

I agree with the suggestion of a System Status flag on the front page. I think it's beneficial to visit these boards regularly but one click from the front page would make it a whole lot easier for a lot of people.

(As an aside: Personally, if I came across a listing for four comics and saw the shipping up top as 10 bucks I'd most likely hit the Back button before investigating the small print.)
That's perfectly understandable Rick. Agreed. It was foolish of me to not have changed the shipping on each individual listing. It was an oversite on my part, though I wouldn't have actually charged the $10.00 to ship 4 comic books, a potential buyer couldn't possibly have known that by looking at the listing. It was a boo-boo, and a big one. But, when the smaller listings go back up after Auctiva has finished their move, I will have those things fixed. And thanks for the input.
