ebay help

hiya
ive downloaded the turbo lister , but im not familiar with it,,ive put up one listing on it (was just checking how it works).
and where it says listing time scheduled says fee will aply ?
so basicly does it cost to use turbo lister ? if so how much ?

as i wanted to list and save some items to be listed on the weekend but not so sure now
as theres no point if its going to cost to list from turbo lister then ebay fees then paypal fees..might aswell just list on ebay.

Any help would be appriciated

thankyou,

    Hiya,

    Turbolister doesn't charge you - but scheduling a listing will cost you extra.

    Personally I just prepare my listings in turbolister, and then upload them at the time I want them to start - I don't mess around with scheduling.

    Thanks for that , but if it costs to schedule whats the point really,? as you can list on ebay instead of it then ?
    so if you list eveything on it and save it (without scheduling time) can you then upload them the day of you want the listingsto be listed for free?
    Thankyou.

    It costs to schedule for a certain time on ebay... but if you don't care about when you're going to start the listing... don't bother scheduling it. Turbolister is essentially a tool t use ebay - so the fees are the same whether you use it or bypass it.

    That's the way I do it. You'll pay your usual ebay fees of course, but you won't pay a fee to schedule the listings, because you'd be doing it immediately.

    The main advantage for turbolister for me is that you aren't limited to just one listing that you can work on - you can put loads in, keep changing them, duplicate them, etc. until you're happy they're ready and upload them.

    Yes like fay says I also use turbolister to keep all my listings ready for when I want to upload them.

    For instance this Weekend is a free listing day so over the next few days I will add all my (cough) highly collectable items to Turbolister ready to upload in bulk at the weekend.

    also handy if you often sell similar items as you can just tweak an old listing/template to suit

    Good point custardy.

    I have different folders within mine so I have one folder with all my usual stock and all I need to do is change around anything different as I get a new batch and I can list in less than a couple of minutes.

    I also sell a lot of books so I keep all them in a different folder and can tweak them around and just change photos and descriptions, rather than start each listing from scratch. In fact I think my TL has around 300 listings in it at present.

    As I am slowly depleting my stock I think I will slowly junk some of my stock listings on TL as well, which will probably make it a lot more manageable.
