Withoutabox submission doesn't work

I have been trying to submit my entry but stuck. The submission website is not helpful. It says everything is OK and yet shows submission is zero. When I contact HELP, these people simply copy some standard answers but do not really help. They don't bother about what the submitter is complaining about. Why is it that my entry is showing but it is not yet accepted? Try to make Withoutabox submission easy and user friendly.
