Turbo Lister

[moondollar007]

My hope is the demise of Turbo Lister is NOT  a reality.  Have those in a decision making position reconsidered and will leave Turbo Lister intact?  If eBay decides to no longer support Turbo Lister, does that mean I will no longer be able to upload items I have spend thousands of hours creating using Turbo Lister?

"some cases, these were resolved using recommendations provided by the TL staff, as posted in one of the threads."

Can you point me to  that? Some images come into sixbit for me and others do not. I hate sixbit so far but that is all I have.

Hi all,

John from SixBit here.  Here are the answers to some of the questions being asked.

To get the SixBit trial, go to https://www.sixbitsoftware.com/tllanding.  Please hurry, because this offer is expiring at the end of the month.

To clarify the import questions, SixBit can import all your information from a Turbo Lister CSV file including your photos.   As some have mentioned, they have had an issue with photos.  Here is what is happening.  If your photos are properly included in the exported TL CSV file, then they are imported into SixBit.  There are cases however where Turbo Lister is either not exporting the path to the pictures or not exporting the correct path of the pictures.  We at SixBit don't know why this is the case, or which people it affects.  It appears to be the result of a bug in Turbo Lister that is either still in the code or was in the code at one time and later fixed.   If the proper info isn't included in the CSV file, then we obviously won't know how to get the photos.   eBay has discovered however that in some cases, the proper path to the images can be "reset" in Turbo Lister simply by loading each item and scrolling through them one at a time (see the link mentioned in the previous post - Thanks shipscript!).  After that, an export will have the proper path to the images.

I know how frustrating it can be to think about having to recreate data, so we will do everything we can to help get your data into SixBit so you can continue to list and keep your library of items for years to come.  On our TL Landing page at https://www.sixbitsoftware.com/tllanding you will find links to a video on how to import your items.  I would recommend you start by watching the video, and importing your items.  This works for the lion's share of users.  If you find you are missing pictures, please try the recommendation at https://community.ebay.com/t5/Tools-Apps/Turbo-NOT-IMPORTING-photos-to-SixBit/td-p/30987027 and then try the export again.

If all of that still doesn't bring the pictures over, then you can do an import from eBay to get the pictures from any items that are still listed.  

I hope this helps some of you having issues importing your items, and please feel free to send us a support ticket through SixBit if you have any other questions.

Thanks!

There are 2 files that are saved with each backup, a .tlb and a .imb file. I believe the .tlb file is the actual listings and the .imb file are the images/pictures associated with each listing. I have a question into SixBit to find out when importing the Turbo Lister file(s) if the images are imported, too. My bet is that they are NOT imported, and that is a MASSIVE problem! I have all my pictures but to dig through them all and link them to each listing again?? There'd better be some way to resolve this issue or there are going to be a lot of Turbo Lister sellers hanging it up because there is no way I am going to do all that work over again.

I guess I should have finished reading this thread.. maybe the image import will work?? I hope so... xxx if not it is going to be a major pain!!

Hello--I had to shut down my computer, which I had my TurboLister opened, needed to shut down, now I cannot reopen it, script error and needs to re-authorize user.  How do I bypass this so I can reopen my TurboLister?  Any tricks out there?

One suggestion is that changing your system date backward a year might allow you to run the program instead of getting the script error, but I no longer have the program to test this.

Thank you--I'll try that.  Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
