Some of us need to go to bed soon in order to get up for work in the AM. We need to know whether to leave these auctions processing/pending. I do not watch them lauching after midnight when I will have to pay the Ebay listing fee.

I agree, an update please? My auctions have been stuck in processing for over an hour. What do you consider minor latency?

Yes, I agree. Things were going great for awhile and my auctions were listing, but now my last batch is stuck. I really hate having auctions launch after 9 pm eastern, let alone 10 pm, which it is now after...

Launch latency is increasing again due to capacity limitations with the eBay API. We have been working with eBay throughout the day on latency issues and we will continue to work on this throughout the evening.
We are confident that we will be able to launch all scheduled auctions today. However, if any new issues arise that limit auction launching capability, we will cancel all of today's pending auctions just before midnight tonight.

I set mine to launch at 6:00 pacific time - that was almost 2 hours ago....prepare to wait.... None of them have launched yet.

Why wasn't AW ready for this? It couldn't have been an "ebay surprise", as ebay offers a free listing day every December.

I just wanted to have one auction go on tonight and launched it about 5:30pm PST. It's 8pm and it's still stuck in processing. I wouldn't call this "minor" latency.
I am still working on some auctions. As long as they are free at ebay, I don't mind them launching late. (I didn't know about the free-launch and am just happy to be getting these in.) However, I have had a few stuck in pending for almost 2 hours and do not want them launching after midnight PST. Are you really going to go through all of any auctions stuck in pending and cancil them at midnight if they are still processing? If that is the case, then I will continue to do more auctions (as long as I know I will have that safeguard). But, if that is only a possibility, then please mention it, as once they pass 12:00am, then I am paying for 'wee hour' auctions.

I guess not. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for deleting my post. That REALLY makes me want to stay with you. Warning to everyone, don't say anything that is critical of AW, they'll just delete it.
None of them have launched yet.
