Ebay import seems to be stuck

My eBay import has been showing the progess at 14 of 244 items for the last two hours. If it was working, shouldn’t that figure be changing?

I have imported many times over the past three months. I have seen imports (using the same 600 – 700 items) take as little as 30 minutes and as long as 12 hours. Sometimes, the importing does have an issue, but will eventually work itself out.

Longer import times are usually due to a lot of sellers/items being imported. Now, I tend to do mine when everybody is sleeping (on both coasts) and they complete quickly.

Also, Bonanza importing will “spread the wealth” by doing some of your items, jump to another seller for some of their items, etc. I have noticed that when the system is being heavily used that the items are imported in batches of 100 items or so. Bonanza even mentions this somewhere in their help pages.

When all of your items have been imported, there will be notification indicating that the import is complete.
