How long does it take for a 24hr activation?

Hello, newbie Bonanza user here.
Set up seller account, filled out everything needed, got the Big Green Button to activate booth. Got email to tell me they should take a few hours to review my account. Currently my booth is still partially active and message still says it will be activated in 24hrs by the “elves”. Well this was 2/29/2016. That was 5 days ago…Many 24hrs. I tried researching in help, community, sent multiple emails. No clue why my booth is still not active.
Can anyone offer some eye-opening advice? Am I missing something?
I read so many positive things about this site yet right now I am receiving a very negative vibe. It seems to be as fun and quirky and weird as I am and I want to fall head over heels with this site but….so far the “blind date” is not working out. Any thoughts?
Ta!! <3

I’m having the exact same problem you’re having. Message says I’m active but there are only two products showing. I listed over 350 products. This has been going on for over 24 hours and it’s the 3rd time I’ve tried to do it. And I never get any reason why. I wrote an email yesterday and will s

Got the same problem myself. Wish I could tell you something positive but I am floating the same boat as you and am at a loss.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I hope so too!

Same thing I said to another

Truthfully…though this may make some a bit upset…

The massive influx of sellers, bogging down the system with thousands of imported listings…it is taking bonz limited staff a lot longer than 24 hrs to go through and make sure the listings and sellers are legitimate.

Rushing approvals has already let some sellers through that proved to be less than honest and had to be removed.
