Spent 5 hours today on Auctiva
 

I believe the whole Auctiva thing is misleading. This doesn't seem to be a very good program if you have around 30 listings ending everyday at various times.

In fact, the more I think about it, Auctiva is only a tad faster for big volume sellers than doing it directly on e-bay.

For example,

Let's say I have a particular item that I want starting at 5:00AM, 12:00PM, 3:00PM, 9:00PM everyday of the week. I am scheduling monday-sunday.

What I do right now is schedule that single item for 5:00AM. then repeat for all the other times. The staggered times do not work since the differences between the start times is not constant. So I have to do 4 manual steps, going back and forth between scheduling/folder. Then I have to do that whole process again 7x because I do it once a week.

That's one item, I have about 6 or so different items I need to do this for.

Was I just mistaken that Auctiva was a powerful tool for high volume sellers or am I missing some key funtionality?

I think its more about saving on fees and using it if you have to set up your accounts with dial-up. And the way the listings look (more prof) Im not a high volume seller, more mid range, and I just list directly from ebay. I used Auctiva for an old account thats gone now..I liked the templates..

Any other high volume people find it difficult?
