I registewred today and listed two auctions under user name --------- but when I go to the category to see them nothing is there and my account page says I have no current auctions - Yet they e-mailed me confirmation that the two auctions started and if I click the supplied link it shows the auction even though I don't see it browsing!
What the heck is going on?

Hi. Just your luck to pick a weekend to sign on to Amazon when they are having problems. Some of the sellers have reported that the site has been down most of the weekend. I did not run into that problem myself and was able to list today and yesterday. I would wait until the Amazonians straighten out their "bad hair" weekend to see if the auctions show up. You can also check the section that says "opening soon" to see if they are there.
Selling books, music, videos, art on the internet...Thank you for your business! Marilyn

I know the site is down now, but in general it takes an hour or two for a listing to actually show up on their site. The reason you can see it by clicking the link is because they have created the page, it just hasn't been published yet. I recently learned that they screen all video listings to check for unauthorized merchandise, so there's probably a longer delay when you list videos. Same is true for Marketplace and Z-shop, by the way - even with auto relisting - you'll get an email saying it's listed but there is a pretty long delay before it gets published. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Real interesting. I went and looked and it is still not in the category list 24 hours later.
It does come up in a search.
I spent a few cents to move it up in the category and it said it was going from 220 something to #1 but there are only 193 items showing. So there must be 30 some not showing from yesterday.
We will see if I wasted my 36 cents in a while or if it moves up.

I haven't been able to bulk load items with Amazon.UK since Saturday!!!
They have been saying that it will work again "shortly".
They must have HUGE problems and hide it.
Have a nice day; Stephan

Well after I paid extra to have it move up in the list they got it posted well over 24 hours after I entered it. Not a very good first experience.
