Best Listing Tool

[ztams]

What are your favorite listing tools? I don't need fancy templates. I'm looking for a tool where I can create listings offline and then upload to eBay later. I only list a few hundred a month. Thanks.

When I first started on eBay (ages ago), I did all my listings in word.  Then when it was time to list, I just did copy and paste.  That method was fine for a while, but as eBay gets more complicated it wasn't enough.

I discovered what is now called Sixbit Software.   Because I didn't have unlimited internet it was perfect for me.  I could create my listings off-line.   When I started using it I was doing 100 listings a month, now I manage 6500+ listings and it doesn't cost any more just because I have more listings..    And now that I have unlimited internet, it's still my favorite.  It comes with a monthly fee and no contract (so you can change your mind about it at any time)  It has it's own support board and a facebook group for help - as well as an excellent support department that is based in the US.  The creator has been working with eBay listings since 1998 or so and has added other platforms (for when you are ready for them)

There are other programs out there and you need to explore them with your own needs in mind.  What works for one person may not work well for you.

Hear, hear, I agree!  I use and love Six-Bit, have used it for 8 years, couldn't function without it!  Worth the monthly fee because it saves me so much time.

I also am a SixBit user (in various incarnations for 18 years).

That said if you only need a very basic tool to create and save listings you might have a look at Wonderlister that has a cheap version that does pretty much only that. If you need inventory control, post-sale management and greater reporting capabilities then look at SixBit first.

SixBit also has multi-channel capability, eBay plus Etsy, Amazon and Spotify but the versions that can handle that are quite expensive.

I have been using eBay's Turbo Lister tool since the day I started selling here. 

I will be utterly and completely lost without it. 

eBay's promised replacement never arrived, and I fear that it never will.

I am with you.  I use it too.  I don't mind if they don't replace it, I just don't want them to take it away.

I also use turbolister,I was using auction manager pro for many years when it was free and then went  to yearly membership.When I showed my son how to sell we went with turbolister or I should say he did.My son was able to figure it out and thats what I use now.I love it.I dropped AMP a couple years ago and am glad I did

I am pretty sure it was the 12 free pictures that made the decision easier.I had been with auction manager pro since 1999 or so when I had no clue what a URL was

I thought Turbo Lister disappeared a few years ago.  I used that many, many years ago but really thought it was no more.

They annouced an end-of-life date for it a few years ago (with the promise of something new with equivalent features), but they extended it and ultimately put the end-of-life on hold.

For low volume, I've found Wonderlster to be very good - and cheap. 5 bucks a month, billed quarterly.

I tried it out, and when my one computer crashed, I started using only WL, with no problems at all.

turbolister still gets updates,it still has support workers or specialists for it with ebay concierge.I found a link for a download somwehere when I got a new PC.I am quite sure the folks at the tech issues board would have a link for it.I still write 60 auctions a week with it and I get done 10 every morning in 1 hour,of course I already have my pictures in a folder from the day before

It is still around.  They just don't offer it on Ebay anymore.  They want to retire it, but they said they would give us replacement features on the Seller Hub first.  So far they have nothing even close to the abilities of TL in the SH.  So for some of us we still get to use it, but we have no idea for how long.
