Default Just posted my first Auctiva listing!

Well, I took the plunge and posted my first auctiva listing
-- and it hasn't shown up yet!

It's been all of 5 minutes --sheesh! :>

I'm so impatient.

eta -- does auctiva send you any kind of confirmation email or anything like that?

No, you should get confirmation from Ebay about your listing. Look into Auctiva - Active Listings and see if it shows up. If not, you need to try again and list. Otherwise, it may take some time for your listing to show up on Ebay. Maybe even few hours.

After you create your auction, there is Error Check button on the bottom and check that before you click on Post the auction.

i am so frustrated w/ auctiva right now. I started over and continue to get that error message. I wonder if it has anything to do w/ me using the aol browser?

I sent an email to auctiva --we'll see what happens.

if you have done it correctly - ebay will send an email to your gmail email and but it may not be listed on ebay yet - just make sure you pass the error check always b4 listing unless you are 100% sure

The error check is not always accurate - sometimes it shows 4 errors but i only fix 1 and then it passes - just try to think about what you may have missed - like your return policy or enter your zip code for your city or shipping cost for multiple items.......

do you think 'invalid characters' could mean something besides the wording in the description?

also, i do the error checking and it's fine as wine.

no - but it may be invalid characters in your title actually - i dont see how characters can mess you up unless you are using the html editor and messed up one of your codes.

No prob and on ebay they let us put invalid characters in but on auctiva they may not recognize it and error out.

Its good you passed the error check and now all you have to do is click post and you will see where it goes from there - but like lyda said - click on active listings to see if its there - it may be scheduled - but ebay will also send you an email message about your new listing.

It does not show up in the 'active' listings. it currently is in the 'scheduled' listings. It has been 'scheduled' for 25 minutes. And the status says "ready".

sigh

well, I decided to try and post it again, and low n behold, it worked!
(I guess I wasn't holding my mouth the right way the first time.)

Now, as long as it shows up in the search in a couple hours, all will be ok!
