I'm having the same problem. The last time I remember this happening, it was also when eBay was having a "special" and Vendio attributed the problems to the rise in eBay traffic. While this isn't as bad is the time right before Christmas when all the photos on Vendio went down (also attributed to a rise in eBay traffic) it draws a similar concern in that none of these rises in eBay traffic were unanticipated. It begs the question to Vendio "What exactly is being done to redouble support efforts during the times of predictable usage surges?

I schedule all my sales to end between 8:05 and 8:10
in my head i think this catches the east coast before they go to bed and the west coast before they start the evening
For me tuesday nights for some reason is my best night
Now they wont be ending at the sheduled time if at all next week

Hello everybody,
If launches were delayed, it is due to the heavy traffic on eBay due to their increased listing volume. We rely on eBay's API to allow us to launch through to their site. On heavy traffic during listing promotions, it is normal to see some launch delays. We would advise taking this into account when scheduling your listings during promotions.
Thank you for your patience. I've checked your accounts and your listings appear to have launched.

sorry diana but no one on the ebay boards are complaining about this
IT IS JUST VENDIO that COST US SO MUCH MONEY TONIGHT.

It was Vendio and not eBay. My auctions finally launched from Vendio almost 2 hours late. Now I see there are no gallery pictures on any of them. HOpefully this should be corrected tomorrow. I know Vendio's system was slow, slow, and slow today.

I just had 4 more auctions launch that I listed at 11:00PM. Looks like the lag time is now under 30 minutes. Much better than the 8 I launched at 10:00 PM when it was an hour. If you're feeling lucky, you might have time to get a couple more off before the witching hour.
