I'm gonna try and view the auctions now. Hopefully update will correct the pages. Zoom shoots the pic way off. Cannot keep it steady to view the items in the unit. Extremely frustrating. I've not wanted to put any payment info until I can see what I'm bidding on. It's already a gamble but If I'm gonna put credit on the line please help with the sites and auction unit pics. Thank you

Fix the glitches. I can't look very long and it throws me to start over. Haven't got to look at full page yet. Have to start over and renter everything.
404 error every 20 seconds. Fix the glitches. I can't look very long and it throws me to start over. Haven't got to look at full-page yet.
Same as above.. Can't view auctions for more than a few seconds before it errors and boots me back to a blank search... Please fix.
same as above the new version sucks i can't seem to look at anything for more then a few seconds then it crashes
How are we suppose to view, let alone bid when it throws you off every 25 to 40 seconds...I have lost lockers I wanted to bid on within the last few minutes...this site is annoying.
Same as above. How am I suppose to bid on a locker if I get booted every 25 seconds. There are a few I'm interested in now and when I go to bid I get booted. This has been going on for 2 days now. Please get it fixed asap.
