    I use Turbo Lister too. Why do you need to schedule your listings if you are happy to manually trigger the upload? Just write out all your listings and leave them sitting in the "waiting to upload" folder. It's not as if they do anything until you actually upload them.
    Listings submitted by turbo lister on the last few FLD have not been free. It has specifically stated in the T&C's that only items scheduled or listed using the sell your item form qualify

    Yeah, I thought that turbo lister was chargeable on FLDs

    Agree - items listed with turbo lister dont qualify for free listing.

    Theoretically, if you have
    a) all your photos taken and uploaded
    b) weighed the items and worked out postage
    c) composed the item descriptions and saved to Word or something similar

    then you'd be able to simply list quite a large number of items in a day - especially if you list similar items after each other so you can use the "list similar item" format.

    How can you list over a period of time and schedule them for a FLD? Often you don't get a lot of notice of FLD's?

    I think that is the very reason why ebay stopped the use of turbo lister on free listing days. People were listing hundreds of items and it was all getting to be a bit of a joke. Even now if you list too much you seem quite likely to get the dreaded 'please upgrade to a business account' email.

    No one seems to have mentioned that you do get 100 "free" listings a month as long as the start price is 99p or less. You can upload those via Turbo Lister but I find that it tells you it's going to charge then confirms it hasn't after the item is live.
