No More TURBO LISTER so what do you use for listings?

 So now that eBay is discontinuing TURBO Lister, what are sellers supposed to use for listings? I got so used to using Turbo lister and have all my templates on it and it was also helpful in helping photos look better, so what are people using to replace it?

There are paid services like AuctionSage and InkFrog if you want a nice interface to create listings.

 

Otherwise, look into ebay's fileExchange.

Possible Turbo Lister Replacements Some have different levels of services for certain fees, so look at the closely.  BTW this isn’t an all inclusive list, but it is a good place to start.

Re: No More TURBO LISTER so what do you use for listings?

I use my own templates, copy and paste, save it to a text file.

 

For example: 

 

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"><br>
<div style="text-align: left;"><b><font color="black" size="4">TITLE
<br><br>
Condition: New<br>
<ul><li>(Item Specific 1)</li>
<li>(Item Specific 2)</li>
<li>3...4...etc</li> </ul> <! –– INVENTORY PHYSICAL LOCATION ––> </font></b></div>

I have templates too.  But it is much easier inside a program like Turbolister because you can save listings and do many other functions besides just having templates.  I personally will miss TL.  It has been a very useful tool for me for many years.

 

I went to SixBits for Turbolister version.  I am still learning it.  We get 6 months free and then after that it is 14.99 per month.

Save listing & templates as drafts, and re-edit with the item specifics.

You are extremely limited on drafts.

 

Most that use TL have 100's if not 1,000's of listings store in TL.

I'm not actually recommending any of the options over the others.  I don't know enough about all of the to do that.  I selected Sixbits Turbolister version for a couple of reasons.  It has a good reputation, it offers 6 months free and it allowed be to download my listings from TL to Sixbits.  However when I did that they all did not transfer over, but enough of them did that I'm not overly concerned as to why the rest didn't make it.

 

It appears to be a big learning curve, but there are lots of youtube videos and other instructions that help a lot.

I like Auctiva... and have used it for the last 7 years or better... I went to them the 5 or 6th time TL crashed on the computers I was using at the time (we had 3 different computers, and not one of them got along with TL) ...

 

It will import all current listings that are up, and depending on the service level store your pictures for you.

 

It will also import your listings from TL... but some of mine garbled when I did that to start with all those years ago... I would assume they have gotten better at it, but I won't swear to anything LOL.

I hate photobucket right now... PS Answers given years ago may or may not be current now, please check with current posters to the boards to see if the information is still relevant.

I believe the max. number of listings in draft mode is 2500.

If you are in Managed Payments - give the listing site a try.  I make a template for each group of items, (shirts, jeans, shorts, Misc. etc) and use them each time for all my different items.  Just change the info that pertains to the item up for sale. 

 

I did other sites years ago and I do find this works really well, you can also improve your pictures with it.. (lighten, darken, crop, etc.).. 

I hate change unless I actually have to use it but now LOVE it as it does really well.   Give it a try...

Turbolister quit working for me about three years or so ago, so I just stopped using templates. Not a big deal for what I sell and the way I sell it.
