I love Auctiva for showcase, free photos, one page lister...and on and on

Oh deep joy, I love Auctiva!

My niggles with it were all sorted out by going on their community forum and posting a question and nice AuctivaMike told me where I was going wrong, it was blindingly obvious when someone points it out to you, of course!

It's so much better than Turbo Lister in these ways:


If you want templates they have zillions - no need to pay for turbo listing designer

You can have 16 big photos per listing (not like ebay photos where you click them to get them up to full size - these are in your face) all free AND supersized for free too

The listing is all done on one page, on turbo it's 5 pages to get to the end

You can schedule your listings for free, so a saving of 12p (is it?) each listing

You don't have to bulk load your pix and then choose them, you can upload as you go, it takes seconds

All your usual terms, conditions, small print etc is saved and you can also save variations of it if you often sell things that need very different T & Cs

You can manage all your sales with it (I haven't used this bit yet)

You can have free use of the 'showcase' this is a moving slideshow of all your listings (bit like the Generation Game prize conveyor belt)


Bye bye turbo, it was nice knowing you, but I've moved on to someone new

  • I think my elderly monitor is too small. I seem to recall abandoning Auctiva because it was full of small print (was it in red, too?) which I found hard to read.
    I have imported active listings to Auctiva to get the display of other items at the bottom.
    There's a slightly odd aspect of the listing designer on Turbolister: it is evidently free to use, but if I attempt to relist an item on eBay, it charges me for it the second time. I don't know whether it's possible to relist through Turbolister and still get the listing fee credit if it sells the 2nd time.

    Either way you would get charged though wouldn't you?

    Does it allow you to automatically reschedule failed listings?
