Preparing sales for listing at another time

Hi,

Am I right in thinking that there is some software, or a website maybe that you can get listings ready and then save them so they can be listed at another time?

I am planning a day sorting and getting stuff ready to sell and it would be really useful.

Thanks

    I use TURBOLISTER, it's really easy to use (it has to be, I don't 'do' complicated :rotfl: )

    It depends on the volume you are doing.

    If you use Seller Manager Pro (monthly subscription) then you can schedule listings for whatever time you like for free, but this is probably a it much for just a clear-out. We use this in the business.

    eBay will charge you if you prepare a listing and then schedule it for later.

    As the poster above hints - if you use Turbolister (or turbolister2) - free from eBay - you can prepare your listing offline and then upload it just when you want it to go live and avoid the scheduling fee.

    Depends how much your time is worth!

    Auctiva is a FREE website based alternative to turbo lister, so you can use it from any pc anywhere and you don't have to load software onto your pc to operate it.
    It has many advantages over turbo lister, such as Free Photo hosting, allowing you to add 14 SUPERSIZE pictures to your listings, free scheduled listings, great eye catching templates, a scrolling store window of your listings on every listing you create, and dozens of other features which are all FREE!

  • OK so now I have to make a decision! The idea of being able to add extra photos appeals. Ebay charges for extra photos, do both Turbolister and Auctiva give you the ability to have additional photos in your listing without being charged by ebay?

    No no, Turbolister is an Ebay tool, so no such luck. You want to go with Auctiva.
