Am I doing something wrong?  All I see is questions with no responses.

[china_replacers_limited]

Of course, what did you expect? This is going to be a MAJOR setback.

It's not sea biscuit, but good guess!!!!

It will be sad to PAY for Six Bit when we are already paying hefty fees from eBay and PayPal.  When do sellers profit?

[kicksave1]

same question. Do I just need to read through all the replies or is there an audio or chat thing I am missing?

SixBit blames Turbo Lister for problems in exporting photos.

I imported my TL listings into Sixbits for Turbolister.  About half my listings actually made it into Sixbits.  What caused that and how can I fix it?

In TL I had my listings in various files so things were sorted for me by what my needs are.  When the ones that did make it over to SixBits they were just all together.  I lost all my separate files I used to separate the types of listings I had.  Can I fix this?

I learned how to design my screen for my ease in created a listing.  So I like that.

But I can't figure out how to change the description field from displaying in HTML.  

And how do you do a Variation listing?

[china_replacers_limited]

Quick answer, no.

[birdhouse-in-your-soul]

One more question -- because I have used Turbo Lister for a LONG time, I have a large number of older listings archived there.  Will this be possible to do with Six Bit, or will the initial Six Bit set up only allow us to import listings from the last month or so?  Right now I have listings in TL  dating back for several years.

Turbo Lister works WELL !!

Never a problem with it.

And, it's FREE 

[gwzcomps]

I feel like with the rate of questions coming in one hour for this chat is not going to be long enough. Hopefully it will be possible to extend it even if it is just another hour. Or make a special board related to this program.

[backlotmovie]

I could not agree more with Turbo Lister going away.  A free service, that was helpful.  Between PayPal and eBay there is not much free, so having this program helped me.  I thought today's chat was going to provide information, but I may be wrong.  I have seen know alternatives except "we are taking away Turbo Lister, deal with it!"

How long will the items remain in the database and how many will it hold?

[reeflover]

Can I schedule listings to start at one-minute intervals on SixBit?
Are SixBit listings saved to my hard drive or a cloud?
