It may take you a moment to get oriented when you seen the auction editor dialog window, but you'll soon find that every feature and option available to sellers via eBay's online selling form is also available through Turbo Lister.
Note, too, that though the auction editor dialog is too large to fit on most displays, it can be scrolled up or down using the scrollbar at the right side of the window in order to give you access to all of the options it offers.
Options are simply laid out densely and labeled using the same terms they are known by on the eBay website. Click in a text box to enter text, click on an option button to configure the option in question.
Among the expected auction components that you can edit or add with Turbo Lister are all of the standards that you might expect. (For details on what each of these are, please refer to eBay Item Listings and Sell Your Item.)
Because Turbo Lister doesn't have to communicate with the eBay website every single time you click (it sends all of your changes as a batch once you're done instead), you'll quickly find that Turbo Lister is a much faster and more intutive way to list items.
Sample Turbo Lister Options
For example, instead of having to navigate a series of clumsy boxes in order to choose a category, you can simply select your item's category from an expandable/collapsible list.
Special instructions, shipping, warranty, and return policies, and policies limiting the types of buyers you're willing to accept for your auctions are also easy to configure, requiring just a few clicks.
Listing upgrades and special features of the type described in the Seller Features Guide can also be added quickly and easily.
Take your time to explore the the auction editor in Turbo Lister and to learn where each of the features and options is located. Happily, for any experienced eBay seller, Turbo Lister is relatively intuitive, and within a few minutes the way in which the editor is organized vis-a-vis online listings becomes clear. Don't forget to scroll up and down in the window to see all of your options!
Uploading Changes and New Listings
Once you have finished setting all of the options and entering all of the information you desire for the listing in question, click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the window. (Note also the presence of a "Save As Template" button, which can be used to save the listing as a template file, to be used when creating other listings.)
After saving, the editor window will close and the item you've just created or edited will appear in the list of your auctions shown in the main Turbo Lister window. When you're ready to upload auctions, select the auction(s) that you want to upload in the list by clicking on them (they will be highlighted in blue when they are selected), then click the "Add to Upload" button.
After clicking "Add to Upload," Turbo Lister asks whether or not you want to upload the selected auction(s) immediately or add them to the batch of auctions to be uploaded later (at your command).
If you don't choose to upload immediately, the auction listings in question will be queued for upload and you can edit or add additional listings in Turbo Lister by clicking the "New" or "Edit" buttons in the toolbar, respectively.
Once you have batched all of the auctions that you've created or changed and are ready to upload, click on the "Waiting to Upload" tab on the left side of the Turbo Lister window to show pending updates, then click on the "Upload All" button to send your changes and new auctions to eBay, where they'll be live and open for business.
If you're a busy seller, get to know Turbo Lister today. Time is money, and since it's also free from eBay, Turbo Lister saves you both.
