I often wonder what drives Meg more is it her unbelievable arrogance or her mind numbing stupidity, or some mystic combination of both? The mighty ebay decided yet again to implement a ton of technical changes without warning, with the net effect of rending auctionsubmit.com not working at the time being. It is not the fault of the good people at AuctionSubmit, they are working diligently to update their software to meet the latest round of ebay changes. Where ebay any "normal" company, eg not a company with a permanent rectal-cranial inversion, they would provide advance notice to companies that assist their customers and there wouldn't be any reason for these idiotic problems to exist. As for me I wrote 100 listing in the last couple of days, all loaded into Auction Submit, all ready to go, but they ain't going nowhere, because Meg struck again! Arrogance + Stupidity = the deadly ebay combo cocktail!

We have 150+ ready to roll and they aint going nowhere! Vrane Power Relister Gold is also down because of the changes. That's $270.00+ in lost revenues just from us two nobodys.

I'm in the same boat.
I use auctionsubmit. I have about 120 auctions just waiting to load and I'm patiently waiting for the auctionsubmit 'fix'.
I'm glad they are working on it. I just hope ebay doesn't do some more screwy technical changes over the next few days and totally screw it up some more.
I expect ebay can't give the 3rd party listing programs any help because they can't figure out how to run their own mess let alone help anyone else sort it out! They like to initiate all these new devices and use us all as guinea pigs for testing it.

I was going to load 30 auctions today on E-bay with Auction Submit and couldn't do it. I put 5 on manualy, the balance I will start listing on Yahoo , no problems bulk listing there.

They make their changes at this time of the year because they know no matter what people will still list, they have to. If they did it in the summer everyone would say oh well it's slow anyway I'll just take a month off. eBay would be dead in about 3 weeks.
The one to watch for changes is PayPal, last year they hit us with fees at the start of the Christmas season. They have already reported heavy losses and they need to show that they can at least turn it around even a little to the positive to make their IPO take off.
I just ran a profit and loss comparison to last year in quickbooks ebay fees to last year to date +22% income to last year -43% do the math folks the only people making money is ebay, they are the biggest PowerSellers in the world........
eBay fees are like being slowly pecked to death by chickens!!!
