I had about 40 auctions scheduled to start this morning (the 26th), using eBay's scheduling.
When they didn't start firing off as scheduled, I went into MyfeeBay to check. The date on all the scheduled auctions was the 27th.
Okay, grrrr, I screwed up, I'll fix it. So I rescheduled them for today.
The first five or six fired off as planned, no problems. A few even got bids right away.
Then I refreshed my current seller page. My auction count dropped. Weird. It shouldn't have. I looked at the end of the list and those auctions are GONE. They are just GONE. They weren't ended early or anything, they are completely missing in action.
I went back to MyfeeBay, signed out and signed back in, and the whole list of today's auctions (including the ones that had fired off) are once again scheduled for tomorrow.
I don't know whether I'm more angry or frightened.

In our last episode of Missing Auctions, we had logged back in to My feeBay only to discover that our auctions had been mysteriously re-re-scheduled for July 27.
So I re-re-re-scheduled them back to July 26, a couple at a time. Watched them fire off, the r-r-r-scheduled some more until they all started July 26.
Here's the thing:
The ones that had bids before they vanished STILL had bids when they started again on July 26...and the bids show as being placed a couple of hours BEFORE the start of the auction!
