The topic is eBay Turbo Lister and alternative eBay listing tools, which is what I discussed after highlighting the fact that Deal Swift was posting SPAM.

What does the deal swift website have to do with listing on eBay, I couldn't find any connection with eBay listing???????????

Looking at your other posts it's appears you think Deal Swift is related to pretty much anything!!!

getting back on subject

I,ve looked at a lot of these alternatives now and i must admit i like the look of inkfrog and auctiva,

The annoying problem now is having to pay, yes they all seem to have free tools but limit these to so many listing per annum

Their pay for services is ok if you list 100's different lines every month

for us we will probably be running a couple of hundred lines in the long term but the items wont really change much....

it seems i'm going to be stuck with turbo lister and i'm sick of it crashing everytime it updates

I agree with the others surely it would be in their favor to make turbolister the best tool outhere!

TL is really really great when it is working and does the job but ....

You talk about paying what is the cost of messing about with TL if you put a price on your time.

My guess is using auctiva or another will cost you far less.

We have practically abandoned ebay due to hassles with TL after dropping auctiva because we thought TL would do the job better and ebay also changed pricing rules on additional images.

In hindsight it was probably an error - I forget what they charge $10 a month.
Now we have no time to set it all up again.

Decide if you time is worth 1p or £2 or £10 or £50 an hour and do a sum.

Then if it says no to TL due to crashes then go look at some of the alternatives and choose one that fits your wishes.

Paying can be good - it means the business makes money - so is still there next year developing and changing the software to match ebay changes.

(Not SPAM - lol)

Frooition work for my client and are very proactive but have a few things that eBay do that their software cannot, like retaining pre filled item specifics and entering a stock code on a 'similar' listing, you have to create from scratch each time.

If you rely on eBay for any sort of business then I recommend that you STOP using TurboLister. There are so many bugs and yes it will eventually crash on you and therefore putting you out of action.

eBay wont admit that there is a problem and they simply tell you reinstall.

Its not worth it to persist with TL and try and sort out the bugs as it will crash time after time and with it you will lose all your listings....trust me I have been there.

I am currently using inkfrog its a web-based lister similar to auctiva and costs about $10US per month but it is well worth it. If you are selling multi-lines on eBay for $120 per year its well worth it.

Personally I prefer inkfrog, have used it for over a year, but look at the various options and make your own decision, there is not much between them.
