Somehow I doubt ebay are going to support an OS hardly anyone uses.

It isn't free, but not too expensive and is much better than Turbo lister

I don't have a Mac so don't know too much, except it is recommended by those who do. Not sure of any others, have a look at Ebay.com or the message boards.

I have had a look at garageSale looks good although it isn't free thats true.

(Also currently mac osx is over 15million users)

There's also iSale and of course Selling Manager.

Since I posted the above I've got a Mac and been using Garage Sale, still resorting to Turbo Lister on my PC but listings look nicer in Garage Sale and has automatic free picture hosting (up to ten pics per listing).

Hiya,

Thanks for the update. I am looking to sell some of the things I have accumulated over the years and was wondering how easy this app is to use? Is it like everything else Apple related and idiot proof? Or will I need a bit of getting used to it?

I use Garage Sale, it's much easier than Turbo Lister. I recommend you watch the video tutorial. Yes you have to buy it, but as I've said before it is more reliable than TL, it hasn't crashed yet!!

DurhamGrad, yep it's pretty much idiot proof. Once you get used to where everything is i.e. templates, how to add the start price and auction length, and if you know what you're going to put as a item description you can have it ready to go and on eBay in about 5-10 mins. Extras on eBay, like scheduling start times and extra pictures are free. And they work!!

You can schedule in Garage Sale, I use Selling Manager Pro too and upload scheduled items to Ebay, so no cost with that.
I have had it crash a few times tbh, but nothing too terrible and certainly better than Turbo Lister. The extra picture hosting is excellent, although worth noting that if you list 30 day or longer sales then pictures tend to disappear after a couple of weeks.

I remember going to an Ebay event about 5 years ago when they said Turbo Lister would be available for a Mac shortly, but that was in EBay time!

If you use an Iphone I believe Isale works with that too, I've never tried Isale so don't know how good or bad it is.

Thanks for the replies.

I downloaded the demo version, which apparently lets you put up to 3 listings on eBay for free. However, I am confused after fiddling with this and was wondering if someone can help me.

Some of the options aren't available to me on the Demo version, such as listing a number of options for shipping. I can only list one.

And, should I not be able to put listings on eBay for free as a non-business user, or will I be charged for using a "professional" tool? I was told I would have to pay 10p in listing fees, even though my starting price is 99p and I've uploaded 5 pics...

I don't intend to register as a business user, as I just want to sell some random things I have never used and can get some money out of. (I have a LOT of stuff)

I would like to pay and get the full GarageSale version, but if I am going to have pay extra cash to eBay for using it, on top of the price for the software, then really is it worth it?

My guess is that Garage Sale doesn't know the difference between a business and private listing and just tells you that its 10p, the best idea would be to list one and then check your account to see if it has charged you. Either that or check with Garage Sale help on their website.
