WHy is it that every time I try to relist or list at this time on the weekends my items sit processing forever?? (forgive the drool...I fell asleep on my keyboard waiting for processing) I used to think it was coincidence, but it continues. It is always at 10:00pm Eastern time - you would think I wouldlearn and not attempt to list after 10:00pm. (I'm a slow learner)
Is this a problem for others or am I just the lucky one? I hate this because if I wanted to list auctions at midnight (when processing finally completes) I would have scheduled them that way.

Hi suze39,
Because of the increased load of auctions being launched from our site to eBay on Sunday evenings, as well as increased traffic on the eBay site at that time, you are more likely to experience latency during the Sunday evening peak. We have many resources devoted to eliminating (or at least decreasing) Sunday evening latency, and we do expect that for the most part latency will be kept to a minimum. In order to avoid this problem, you might want to try launching your auctions on a different night (if you launch 10 day auctions on Thursday they will still end on Sunday evening.)

Good Evening Diane - Thanks for your response - I must say though I have to take exception.
I pay for this service and you are suggesting that I rearrange the way I do my listing? Not only is what your suggesting inconvenient for me - but 10 day auctions cost ME more money.
hhmmmmm...let me think about this - I pay for this service but I have to rearrange the way I do MY auctions and pay more money..... I don't think so.......... Thanks anyways!
