The DNS service used for Auctalot.com.au has gone down and as such Auctalot.com.au is not being found and people are seeing timeout errors.
We are looking at alternative DNS solutions that will be more reliable in the future, and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We expect this error to be rectified within a few hours.
For the moment please use http://www.auctalot.com
We have begun rewriting a large part of the Auctalot website.
Primarily we are updating the design of Auctalot which we hope will also improve useability.
Lots of bugs are on the list of things to fix, and a few new features will be added also.
At this stage we are aiming to release the new look site in around 2 months. With no major setbacks we will update http://www.auctalot.com.au with the new version on July 1st
Happy Listing!
More sellers are starting to join Auctalot and the momentum is picking up.
Thank you to everyone who has been listing items on Auctalot so far we have reached 2000+ live listings!
So far auctions account for: 13.5% of listings
While fixed price listings are clearly the favourite form of listing on Auctalot with: 86.5% of listings
You, the sellers, are our customers so please take this chance to tell us what additional features you would like to see on Auctalot in the future!
Until 3000+ live listings… Happy listing!
The new Auctalot India website in now online at: http://www.auctalot.in

The release of the Auctalot China site has been postponed to a later date.
We have added an RSS feed for most recent listings on Auctalot. This rss feed shows both online auctions and fixed priced items.
The feed is available from: http://www.auctalot.com/rss.php
Auctalot.com.au DNS records have now been restored. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We initiated a transfer of Auctalot.com.au and Auctalot.co.nz to a new registrar. In the process Auctalot.com.au has had its DNS records deleted, despite the following assurance:
“You should experience NO disruption to the service of your domain name, website or emails, and you will be notified once the process is complete.”
Much to our annoyance there is nothing we can currently do to rectify the situation until business hours on Tuseday (ANZAC long weekend).
In the meantime please use Auctalot.com
A bug in the eBay feedback transfer function was preventing the transfer from working properly a large percentage of the time.
The transfer function has now been fixed and successfully tested.
If anyone continues to experiences problems with the feedback transfer function please let us know.
Update: This has now been resolved.
We have had reports, and confirm, that uploading of images from the Listing page in Safari 4.0.4 (and possibly other versions) is not working correctly.
This appears to be a known problem with some versions of Safari. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10662208)
We are looking into ways of supporting this seemingly ‘broken’ feature of Safari.
For the moment we suggest Mac users use Firefox if they are experiencing problems with Safari.
We have launched the UK Auctalot website.
Next is Auctalot India!
