Did you send in the necessary forms to open a margin account? Also, i believe you can only short a stock on the Nasdaq on an up-tick. Perhaps this stock, although not likely, had not made an up-tick at time you were checking status of the transaction.
I use Datek for online trading and do not believe I would have experienced the problems you cited. However, I believe one can have problems with any of the on-line brokers. I track a lot of message boards and judging from what readers post, all of them have problems. If I may also suggest that you might be a little too aggressive with your trading if you are inexperienced with it. Be careful, it can be a cruel game
