Why Bother With Auctiva? Is There Any Advantage?

Spent hours putting together my listings using Auctiva on Monday, had them scheduled to list on eBay Monday evening... none of them listed.

 

Auctiva responded that they had a power outage and a problem with their ISP and that it all happened so suddenly they couldn't notify anyone on their website.  I had asked for a refund of my monthly fee and they said they "can't" do that.

 

Is there any point using Auctiva?  Or has eBay improved to a level where it doesn't make a difference now?

 

The advantages when I signed up were: quicker to list, free scheduling, free/more templates, multple pictures at no charge. Quicker and cheaper.

 

I am very out-of-the-loop on these things... would very much appreciate your opinions.
