Just uploaded my first auction set using TurboLister II and I am not too happy.

First off, when I went to upload all 28 items got kicked back because it said I had an invalid zip code. I had to go back and deactivate all my international shipping options.

I still can't figure out how to fix that.

Now, my stuff is on ebay, except I can't get most of the items to show up. And two things already sold via BIN. Just damn strange.

I have been using Turbolister for years now and it always worked great. I like being able to create my database of items so when I sell I can just pull up an item and make a couple of changes (printing#, condition, price, etc).

It really is an excellent tool.

Just seems to be a glitch with the new version.

As far as TurboLister goes ... well, it's hard to have an opinion when it's never had a Mac version. Overall, in fact, eBay has never been what I would term a "Mac friendly" place.

A few years ago, I did use it for a few weeks when I was desperate enough to upload some listings from my PC workstation. It seemed to work fine ... but was still far inferior to many third-party options available. Unless TurboLister II also washes your car for you, I can't believe that has changed very much.

Ohhhhhhh...another MAC user....

What software package do you use for your eBay auctions

Thanks!  

OK. So I just downloaded TurboLister. Then spent about an hour, preparing my first template description, which I would use for all my auctions. I saved it and it appeared in the inventory.

I had to go out and came back, switched the program on and there is nothing there. I can't find it anywhere, so it seems it did not save it. I have never heard of a program that doesn't save your work when you switch it off. Is my work lost or is it hidden somewhere?

20 Minutes Later.....

Hmmm. It appears I had to register my username first and then when complete use the backup database function.

Not a very user friendly program. This information appears at the end of the help file - long after the bit on makaing a listing and 'saving'. Crud. I am sure though, I am not the first person to do that. Oh well, here we go again....
