Is anyone else having a problem with winning auctions not being posted? I happened to look at my closed and sold items a few minutes ago and found that I had auctions won in the last 2 days that I knew nothing about.

Hi amber - this happens from time to time. When it does, the notices show up in a day or 3 or 4 or never, and so you start checking all time.
Then the notices start coming immediately again, so you stop watching and then eventually it happens again, and you do the circuit again.
I know this is not particularly helpful, but it is very much how Yahoo works in general, so welcome!
For a backup notice, you may want to try this. Go to "Options", after signing in. Then to "Set Event Notification". Under "Notification Preferences", select to get an e-mail next to "Auction Closed - Sent when an auction you're involved with closes."
You will get this notice even if your not the winner. If you don't get a winners notice e-mail, you will still get this one as a backup.
Lots of things in there, while your at it that you may opt to get notices on. Hope this helps. Charlie

Thanks for your help folks, I will watch more carefully in the future. I like to contact buyers as soon as possible, and was disappointed that I missed some.

This month I have had one Yahoo! and one Amazon sold auction that never appeared on AW. When the buyer sent notice several days later I did find the sold auctions at the auction sites but nevet listed as sold with AW.
