I know it's been plugged before, but anyone who's sick of Turbo Lister (or just using Ebay's listing page at the moment but fed up paying for photos) can try www.auctiva.com - it's free, and loads more reliable than it used to be.

Pandapaws - can you add as many free pictures as you want with Auctiva? Or does it have any other benefits rather than using Turbo Lister?

I use TL but have produced some basic HTML which means I can use free image hosting sites to put in free pictures but would love to have another option if there is one

Afternoon all.

2 items uploaded to turbo now. better than none!

Jesa with auctiva you get 24 pictures free. i'm not a huge fan of auctiva so really only use it when I need to list more than one pic, but then things like photo bucket are just as good for that.

Hi,
New to this challenge. Just listed 10 items. Would have been more but the batteries have died in the digi cam (poor excuse I know). Will try and list more in the week. Once I get into the swing of things listing isn't the problem. It's the thought of all these items finishing at once and having to take them to the Post office.

Hi smartcat ans welcome
yes i agree with too many items ending at once - and having big trips to the post office!!! good luck!

I was trying to list an item today and it wouldnt let me. kept coming up with in an error in the main body text saying not allowed javascript and something to do with cookies. I cut and paste the text from another item i had that was exactly the same and worked so not sure why. Im new to ebay and not the most computer literate!! Any help would be very gratefully received!

I've been using Auctiva for a few years now as I got peed off with TL. I therefore don't know what the benefits of TL are, but on Auctiva it's all on one page, and there are 'profiles' for the sections so that you can have the same things in all your auctions. I've got P&P profiles set up so I just have to weigh (or guess) an item and select the weight and it automatically fills in all the international P&P options for me. You also get the supersize option on all your photos (24 as PR said) and if you want it, you can have the scrolling gallery at the top of the listing. They've got lots of pretty templates and things too but I can never be bothered with them.

A lot of people got put off Auctiva a couple of years back because they had major reliability issues and kept crashing all the time, but I think they've spent $$$s on getting it fixed and I've not had any bother with them for ages.

Sunshine12, sorry, not a clue what the matter is, but sounds as though there's maybe something hidden among the text? Maybe if you try copying the text from Ebay and pasting into Word/Notepad first, then copying it from there and pasting into the new listing that might help or show what's messing it up?

Oh dear that doesn't sound good, have you tried clearing your cookies?
To clear them go to the bar at the top of the page, find tools, click internet options, you are then looking for the section called browsing history and then settings if you click here it should give you the option to delete cookies - if your computer is the same as mine. Just note if you do decide to deleate them you will lose saved passwords etc

If you don't want to do the above then try going into ebay and finding the other listing you are copying text from at the end there should be a drop down box and you are looking for the sell similar option this will create an identical listing and you can then change any parts you need to

I don't know if that's helpful or not but it's about the best i can offer without knowing the actual message

Good luck with it
