Do you list from your phone or desktop computer?

I find that listing from my iphone is a little faster but the layout of the listing just isn't as good. Which way do you prefer to list and why? Thanks.

I list from cumputer use seller hub and the advanced listing page. If you use a phone you don't see all the boxes that need to be unticked or ticked.

No way I would ever try to list from a phone.

Desktop.

 

Phone app is useless as a selling tool - there's nothing there other than the ability to make a listing. As a seller, it just doesn't cut it.

Ditto!

 

And.. I hate buyers that buy from phone as well (for what I sell, as it's something you've never seen on a storeshelf in your life, you need to see all pics, read the description etc.)

I always list via a desktop computer, so that I have full resources for writing detailed descriptions, storing listings, working with images, etc. I only use my phone for bidding and buying when I'm out of the house.

I use the desktop for both selling and buying.  I might see something on the phone but I won't bid/buy until I get home and bring the whole listing up on the computer.

Desktop computer and I use Turbo Lister because my slow DSL doesn't like using the sell feature in Seller Hub.

 

P.S. I don't even have a phone! LOL

Desktop all the way, for any eBay selling or buying.  My phone is so old the ebay app won't even load on it.

I don't even use the phone to type on these boards.

Also when yo list using a phone some options get auto selected that you may not want to have turned on in your listings. eBay does this because there is limited display space on mobile devices so some things get simplified by how they think the majority of sellers would want or use. If you have listed using your phone I would strongly suggest you used a computer to pull up those listings and open each listing. Then carefully look over the whole listing to make sure it is set up the way you want.

I create the listing on my desktop and then save as draft.  Then I open the draft from from phone and add the pictures and then list it.

Re: Do you list from your phone or desktop computer?

I list from a desktop computer only. When my own computer died, and awaiting installing a new one, I started to use my hubby's computer when he wasn't using it.  We lost the video on his computer this past Friday night.  I suggested he pull the graphics card from my dead computer to use instead.  

 

I used my cell phone to see if I had any sales over the weekend.  I would never use it to list my selling items.  The screen is just too teeny tiny, and I use a stylus to type, and that is a struggle (!).  Anyway, graphics card installed and we are back on line.  

 

Have to figure out how to install new computer with Windows 10, and get all of my stuff off of dead computer that uses Windows 7 (if that can even be done).  Old computer "lost" the boot section.  slight_frown

I list from my desktop using TurboLister or occasionally directly in Ebay.  I keep my pictures on my hard drive too.
