I was going to download Turbo lister - please advise

angelcake

Hi, I was going to download turbo lister but remembered there was another auction thing which does the same job but is easier and a lot less hassle?! also quicker! but can't remember what its called!

Does anyone know this or is TL fine to use?

Thanks

I used to use turbo lister then discovered Auctiva.com - brilliant! So much quicker than Turbo lister and easier to use, and you get free backgrounds!

thank you I think it was the one I had in mind!

angelcake

so do you not download anything?

No, (I'm no techie, ) but from what I can see you just use the one page lister as though you were on Ebay almost. They it "transfers" the info to Ebay. Kind off...

I tried Auctiva but kept having problems with it (partly-completed listings randomly vanishing while I was working on them, pages appearing in barely legible tiny red type and stuff) so I went back to using Turbo Lister. I do use the scrolling Store Window display thingy from Auctiva in my listings though.

thanks that is what I want (the scrolly thing!) how do I use just that!

Also can I just use their templates too?

I ditched Turbo Lister in favour of Auctiva about a year ago, because I found TL far too glitchy - especially when you have a large number of items stored in it.

Plus I got very p***ed off with having to wait for half an hour every time I wanted to use TL, for it to download ever increasing MBs of data to 'update', then install, then close and restart. Finally it just wasn't worth the hassle any more. Good riddance to it!! I have not missed it in the slightest.

If you just want the scrolly thing, then you can create your own with http://www.isdntek.com/tagbot/xsell.htm

There are loads of sites that offer auction templates - you simply copy and paste the code into the HTML section of the "Describe your Item" form, then click back to the normal view and insert your text. These few should give you something to think about!

I use auctiva once you have registered and listed something through them I think the scrolling hallery appears on all your listings regardless of whether you made them through auctiva.
