    I don't understand why you would need either. If you are off during the day, list then just using ebay. You can even schedule the listings to start in the evening if that's what you mean.

    Scheduling on ebay costs 6p a go, doing it all on Turbolister and spending 2 minutes uploading them all when convenient is free.

    can you not do that by scheduling to start at a later date, then just going on when you want them to start and doing it immediately?
  • Turbo lister is easy peasy - in my opinion much more convenient than listing straight on ebay. Allows you to duplicate, sell similar etc and upload when you want and has a good log so you can look back at what you have sold in the past. Vey easy - just make sure you regularly update it to keep it inline with any ebay changes which is easy enough to do.

    I've just uploaded some unused toiletries and make up to go up immediately.
    I'll do some shoes for later.
    It took me a few hours but I can imagine I will speed up once I get the swing of things.
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

    Thanks Soolin,
    It was a refill for a battery-operated exfoliator which I think may have been discontinued.
    Been sitting in my drawers for the last two years as my exfoliator broke ages ago.
    I'm doubly chuffed because I actually made a profit on the BIN price which I didn't expect to do :D
    I use to make decent money selling old clothes and suff on Ebay a few years ago but then it got saturated with rubbish and they introduced thigs like madatory Paypal payments so it just wasn't worth the bother.
    Judging by what a lot of people say here it's still not worth the bother but I'll give it a shot and what I don't sell I will try to car boot or give to charity.
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j

    Yep, which is why I tend to humour people who think they are funny!
