I do most of my listing at BV and have only had a problem once or twice and just for a few minutes, but maybe others have had a different experience.
Actually, I've found Bidville to have much fewer glitches than the other sites where I sell. |

| Yesterday I had problems with loading my pictures on Bidville. It just told me to come back later. This happened 3 or 4 times. |

This would explain the email notices I have been getting from my auction site count program with failures from bidville this past week.
I have gotten at least one a day through the 15-26 and on a few days before that. |

Mind letting us know for how long you list on BV? At times the site was non-functional for whole weekends, I remember especially the outages a few weeks before the holidays. Nothing has improved since then. Ever experienced all kind of re-listing errors? Ever had auctions disappear and all of a sudden show up again? And not even starting the discussion in case you run into non-paying bidders or scammers when BV takes the FVF's out of your account/CC and returns it as BV-credits (we call it monopoly money) which can only be used for enhancement and not withdrawn ....
If not, you are one of the few "very lucky ones"! |

I must be one of the very lucky ones then. Have not had those problems at all. I've been selling there since February so I missed any problems over last year's holidays. I always run between 100-135 auctions at any one time plus my store items. I start my listings out for 10 days with 3 automatic relists. Then, if the item hasn't sold, I'll do the rapid relist which runs 30 days for (I think) 5 times. All my BV auctions and store items are done using their bulk lister which I have found fast, easy and reliable.
Sure I've had some NPB's, but no more than I did at eBay. I don't particularly mind that the FSF is returned to me as credits for enhancements since I prefer to use gallery photos and I'd just be paying for them one way or another.
Just my experience at BV. I'm pretty happy there. :) |

| I have heard from friends who auction on Bidville, they seem to have alot of problems recently. Most of which have been mentioned already. So I'm guessing that few are lucky, but they are not. |

BidVille is offering No Charge Gallery Photo Listings July 26-29
Lots of sellers have probably been editing to include Gallery. |

Yes, it was because of many thousands of auctions going into the Free Gallery from July 26-29
All is well now :) |
