I am trying to find the best way and if possible to load my 200 items that I have on turbo Lister after that is no longer available.

My first chat - Can you give us an extension to keep TL alive until at least the end of 2020?

Answer to trivia --  The Gilded Six-Bits was a story by Zora Neale Hurston.

I have the same question.  Will it still work?

[gracieallen01]

Prior to TurboLister, ebay had acquired and utilized, for fee to the seller, SAPro from Blackthorne. Two questions from a previous Blackthorne user: 1) Does ebay have any thoughts or plans of acquiring SixBit, what with the demise of TurboLister, and 2) if not, will ebay be compensated for accommodating SixBit?

Why retire Turbo Lister when so many sellers still use it?

[freshwardrobe]

So now this new inventory software wants to charge? Are none free anymore???

Been trying to log in to the chat.  Where are instructions?

Turbolister can create listings in File Exchange format - will these be accepted after mid-July?

[thedustyloft20]

at one point there was a discussion o 'feelers' put out there about ebay offering an offline tool similar to turbo lister that could be used for a monthly fee....any more information or input on that possibility?

[simply-the-best-for-you]

This is my first time in these chats, hope I'm doing it right.  Been using TL since the beginning & LOVE IT!  My question is for a long time you've been saying it will be "unsupported".  In IT-speak, unsupported, simply means no new modifications & no fixes to the software (which has basically been TL for years anyway).   It does NOT mean that the software will cease to work.  

Now you are saying "retirement".  Does that mean that listing from TL will not work?

Just sign up and wanting to listen to the talks. thanks

Someone said they used Six Bit and does not like it. That is interesting. Is that something one has to pay for? I pay a lot in eBay fees to pay more for a program saddens me, particularly if someone does not like it. It is more loss for the seller if one has to pay for Six Bit

When it's stated that the "drop dead" date for TL is July 13, is it to be understood that the tool will be disappearing or that ebay will no longer support functions, ie: use at your own risk - there will no technical suport offrered.

Thank you for your consideration in answering this question.

I currently have over 14,000 listing in turbolister.  How many can sixbit hold?  Thanks.
