  • Hi

    I list on Auctiva.com first and then schedule my listings - this is free to do. It did take me a while to set up my standard text though, but now listings are reasonably quick and look very professional. I also don't have to pay extra for additional photos and the templates are free too.

    Worth a go if you've got the time - in the long run it will save you time.

    I don't understand your problem.:confused:

    List your item when you want to list it.

    Prepare your pictures. Decide what you want to list and at what starting price, which category etc and then, when you want to list it, log onto ebay and do it.

    It is very simple.

    A bit like me. :D

    If you have started to complete a listing but not yet finished, next time you log onto the selling screens, you will have the option to complete the listing you started.

    Wouldn't this limit you to just 1 listing at a time though, you can't store lots of partially completed listings, or can you?

    There is an option to set a date and time for your auction to start, just set this for a few days time and you can go back in any time before this and add to or change your auction. When you want to list it you just select list immediately and your auction will go live when you finalise it.

    Download turbolister from ebay, it is free and it means you can do your auctions in your own time and then when you are ready just upload them to ebay. The difference between Turbolister and scheduled auctions on ebay is turbo lister is free bit If you use scheduled auctions on ebay you pay extra (6p I think) for every one.

    I have used turbolister for years, I even have whole section of items that stay on it until there is a cheap listing day so all I have to do is upload a batch when the time suits me.

    Soo
