I had 50 items ready to list on Turbo Lister ( 2 days work just in the listing )
and it is no longer working , as I'm sure everyone but me knew .
My experience with Wonder Lister :
I tried a program called Wonder Lister ( the cheapest one , 5.00 per month with a 7 day trial period )
It was very hard to learn , you have to save your Turbo Lister files as CSV files which I did but very time consuming to learn , once I got those on Wonder Lister I had to add them to upload one at a time , when I went to upload 50 items it said " Limit 2 items during trial period " I couldn't find a way to end the trial period and get my items uploaded , had to go back to Paypal to cancel my subscription to avoid being charged for three months ( cost was only 5.00 per month but I don't think you can avoid paying for three months ) It imported sold Ebay listings automatically and it would not delete them ( for 120 days I think it said ) I wanted to delete them to avoid accidentally listing them twice but couldn't . I didn't see any easy way to make folders , everything was one at a time , I am not super computer literate but this is too complex for me .
In the end my thoughts on Wonder Lister :
ENORMOUS waste of time , difficult to use , the 2 listing limit during the trial period is a dirty trick as far as I am concerned and I won't do business with a company that would do that . I wasted 5 hours on this and I am just angry . Hopefully this will save some sellers some time .
I hope everyone that was Turbo Lister dependent is doing better than me , I have no more time to invest and no way to upload this month ( 15 hours down the toilet trying ) . I think ending Turbo Lister was really ignorant , it's seems to be the trend of companies like Ebay to make it harder and harder for the seller until they just give up . Maybe that was their goal .

eBay gave TL users 3 years advance notice that TL would no longer be supported...and this past spring eBay announced TL would be terminated in July... sellers were given ample time to prepare for a replacement and/or other options to deal with the loss of TL. Any data/info/ content of listings in TL can still be accessed as long as TL is still installed on a computer, just cannot be uploaded/downloaded to eBay. I chose to be prepared - made sure all of my listings were on TL before the expiration PLUS ALL of my listings are on another selling venue where it is free to list PLUS ALL my pictures are stored in files on my computer.

I dreaded the end of Turbo Lister as well. I found that the listing tool here on Ebay is free and easy to use. However I am not a big seller and I sell jewelry so making a template for earrings, bracelet, necklace, etc. makes listings fast and simple. I just change a couple things for each listing and voila. I am thinking it is easier and faster than Turbo Lister.
