RB: You can only use TurboLister on eBay, so you can certainly use it to back up all your eBay listings. TL will export in CSV (comma separated variable) format, which you can import into Excel, or some other bulk listing tools. So you'll need to check exactly what your chosen other site will accept. I'm not entirely sure where you can use Spoonfeeder. The front page of their site mentions "other great sites like Bidtopia", but their FAQs say eBay only. So I would check with SF support if their product will meet your specific requirements.

If you mean another *eBay* site then the latest version of TurboLister is great. If you mean an non-eBay site then TurboLister is a non-started and you need to investigate what bulk uploading tools are available for the site you intend listing on.

I realize this is an old posting, but I am currently ending all of my auctions and going to move to another site.

Is TurboLister a viable option for me or should I try spoonfeeder?

Thank you!

No shit….What a mess…..TL2….I made the mistake of DL’ing it before reading all this mess… Now, I’m stuck in the middle of a 60meg update for the different countries I list in and it’s been over an hour….

The only reason I even attempted the TL2 is because the new SYI is a slow ass pig…Now, my computer isn’t the speed demon that many of you have but I tell you….when it takes over a minute just to write the title because the form runs so slow….that’s just too much…

I can’t get TurboLister2 to install. When it gets to the installing updates bit it just hangs forever and is therefore unusable.

for the 3rd time this year and just before a `reduced` listing day, turbo lister has decided in its wisdom to delete over 2500 items I had stored there, lucky i backed them up. except now i have reinstalled TL2 it does not want to reckonise my back up files!!!!!!!!!!!

[...] Personally I’d recommend anyone listing in quantity to use TurboLister or similar bulk listing tools like Spoonfeeder. Although they have occasional problems in the main listing is quicker, repeat listing from saved templates takes a couple of seconds, and with back ups you can keep copies of old listings forever!

“because eBayâ€™s constant fiddling with the site make it almost impossible for them to keep on top of site changes”

I ‘echo’ that statement, and as at the end of April, auctionpix will no longer support its in house sell your item process. Its almost a full time programming job keeping up with changes, fixing API bugs etc etc, and the returns do not justify the expense.

The last few weeks, I’ve suffered TL2 dying a complete death on me, and when I’ve tried to use Spoonfeeder that has had issues due to ebay tinkering, and them not keeping up.

You would think that helping sellers get listings up and running would be a primary concern wouldn’t you.

Well, after the blue button obviously……

Frankly, it’s a joke. TL is as unreliable as you can get, and third party listing tools such as Spoonfeeder are perennially out of date because eBay’s constant fiddling with the site make it almost impossible for them to keep on top of site changes. You’d think they’d make it easy for me to list zillions of things, but they really don’t.
