Auction Splash - Anyone here use it?

I have just downloaded it as I'm getting fed up with Auctiva, always freezes, won't upload templates, won't schedule, spend ages doing a listing and end up losing it all so searched for another one to use.

Just wondered if anyone had any views on auction splash or perhaps you know one better?

Thanks

    umm, guess no-one uses it then?? I have it ready to go but don't want to use it until someone says they have used it so I know it's safe and not likely to wreck my ebay account or anything!!

    I haven't even heard of it sorry. I am still struggling with Auctiva, I can just about use it as long as I only try and log in between 6am and 7.30 am on week days.

    I googled it again typing auctionsplash (ie no gap) and found some reviews for it, seemed to run very well at the beginning when it was launched then support went down the hill, no-one used the forums etc so as long as you don't have a query on it, it seemed to be ok. Listed my first item using it tonight and it was really easy to do, you also get notified when you have a Q to answer, when someone has bid etc so it's quite handy. I just can't list on auctiva atm without it freezing, have spent so much time now doing listings and not being able to post, just needed an alternative for when I have more then one pic to post.

    If I was still selling at the rate I used to I would have given up on Auctiva within a few days of opening an account. However I am a small seller now, no more than a maximum of 50 auctions a month and many of those are my standard items so I can relist straight from ebay.

    I really can't understand why people rave about Auctiva though, it is just about the least user friendly site I have ever used. The real reason I carry on is that my new 'real' job often means I don't get in until late, so I can leave auctions scheduled days in advance without paying extra. Even at the moment I have listings scheduled to go live at the end of the week.
