Considering the fact that you pay nothing, why the whine?

You want daily, go to one of the sites that submit daily and pay their fees.

As far as the "daily feeds" go -- How often do your items change anyway ??!!

Unless you sell a lot of things every day and then list a lot of NEW stuff EVERY DAY, what's the big deal ??!! It's not like Google takes your items OFF every day. In fact it used to be that it took Google at least a day to get items "indexed" after submission. So an every day submission will make more work for Google and can sometimes slow things down.

Personally I have no beefs at all with whatever eCrater is doing now. I'm getting about twice as many hits at eC than at my other sites. I've been getting a fairly good number of sales at eC this year, at least a couple every week.

The big surprice was yesterday tho. I was gone on business ALL day. When I got home late I checked my emails before going to bed. I had at least 5 small orders and 1 nice order from eC. Way to go eCrater.

DaLizardsLair you sit here whole day on psu board whining about what other sellers write about each day.

I wonder if you even sell anywhere else ?

I changed the items I wanted faster on google to bonanzle.

Its not my rule but google products itself want sites to update their feeds as soon as a product is not available for sale or price changes.

I just asking why ecrater is not following this policy.

I wish ecrater just add a feature by which the seller has a option to send updated feeds to google after he update price. remove or add items like bonanzle.

Keep in mind just replying to a troll is all that was usually wanted and if you post enough posts per hour you will surely get a reply.... eventually.

As for making any remark here about EC that is not cheerleading... it is frowned upon. lol

I still wonder how you can get 100,000+ hits and no sales.. :-)

jjj,

You asked a question...I asked one as well.

Plus I gave you an option to boot.

So now, instead of responding, you chose to attack.

That says more about you than anything else.

jerryb,

Name calling from someone who ends most of his statements with "lol".

Are you that insecure that you don't know if you're serious or not?

Usually its about 45 minutes and its done in the wee hours of the morning. But his has been quite long, I hope it isn't running into any problems. When Ecrater upgrades we are NEVER usually affected, you can keep on working. But their maintenance schedule such as this one, is being done at an odd time.

I also am wondering what kind of goodie they are doing to it? What is your guess or have they said anything on the boards about what they are planning on doing?I dont go on the chat board very much.

Well supposively right now this is their maintence, so not sure if they are doing any upgrading at this moment. Its a lot longer than usual and this is shocking that they are doing it at this time of day. Maybe something is happening with their server? Not sure. I hope they are back up and running soon. I was right in the middle of working prior to them going into downtime.

They have been down about 5 hours now.

Well looks like downtime was due to an AC problem. Found this on the forum, but we are back up an running..

Due to AC issues in the datacenter where our servers are located eCRATER experienced an unexpected downtime today.

We apologize for the inconvenience
