AuctionSage is amazingly well maintained. Far better than TurboLister any day.
I used to use TL1, then when TL2 was forced on me, I was shocked at the fact that it had gone from bad to worse, performance wise.

AuctionSage is SNAPPY, has sellthough statistics, excellent templating support, free scheduled listing, mass find and replace (ebay’s constant ts and cs changing bothering you?)

Other features.. automatic feedback tool, PayPal processing tool, invoice your customers, sending a PayPal payment link to them to click on, it keeps track of ended and unsold listings so you can relist…

You have a direct line to the developer, which seems to never sleep as I always get a personal response withing hours.

Trust me, AuctionSage is the one.. I spent a good 2 weeks evaluating tools when making the TL1 switch. You will never look back!

It manages your inventory, gives you profit margin info, tracks your eBay orders, files and manages not paid disputes..

Give it a go, to put it mildly. If I were to be blunt, ditch Turbo Lister. AuctionSage really is the one – I have a 1st Class Computer Science degree and can very happily rubber stamp it.

Here are some independent reviews of it;

I sorely miss using the tool now that I am web-site only!

we have use it ,and found it as good as anything, and much better than most

the only reason we use blackthorne is for its ease of adding pictures!

Like Sue through, I try not to update TL unless I really need to.

And has anyone else noticed, just lately, even though I always tick the “keep me signed in for today” box, every time I open a new window, or do something different (try to buy something for example) and definitely if I accidentally close the ebay window or have to re-boot, I have to sign in again, I’m sick of signing in all the time.

it took months for blackthorne to update the international site visibility option
and its interface with ebays picture manager is clunky, though its ftp to your own webspace works very well,
if you think outside of the box and cherry pick what is of use on Blackthorne it is a great $25 a month investment
we simply use it to list and dont use any of the other features at all

Had never heard of AuctionSage, Alex, I must admit: the problem with third-party tools is that eBay fiddle with stuff so often that it’s almost impossible for a 3P developer to keep up. Hence I prefer to stick with the in-house tools if I can.

Sue, I wish eBay would follow your lead and stop ‘fixing’ things that don’t need it, and fix the thing that ARE actually broken.

Blackthorne is a great selling and management tool. Well worth the (I think – that’s what it was last time I used it) USD 25 per month.

But thanks for the heads up Sue – I was thinking last night that it was about due an update because of the category changes several sites rolled out last week – pleased I didn’t bother now.

That said, I do normally go read the TL and Tech boards before triggering an update …. just in case.

I can not comprehend why anyone would live through the torture and waste their time (literally) using the ant-hill that is bug-ridden TurboLister.
