Auction Programs


So far I have come across 2 unique programs, which will be beneficial if you want to sell a lot of items on eBay. The problem with listing items on eBay one by one, can be time consuming. Personally I am using Garagesale because I have a Mac book and turbo-lister is not compatible. So if you have a pc, you should use turbo-lister, as it is completely free of charge.


Ok, why do we need to use such program in the first place?

Below you will find the features you need to make our listing stand out from the crowd.

Presentation or impression is key for successful selling and getting a high number of bid and views.
Yes, other factor will affect your listing but think about it, would you buy from someone who presents his or her items inappropriately? i.e. poor description, poor images and flat and dead looking auctions.

The other advantage of using Garagesale and Turbo-lister is that you do not need to know any html as they both have template ready made for you. This will increase your traffic for sure. However if you want to add your own html code, it can easily be inserted in the editor.

Turbo-lister and Garagesale will save you a huge amount of time compared to the eBay website where you need to type in the same description, categories and other information again and again. I’m not going to give you all the details about those programs in this guide, as the information is available in the following links:

To find out all the benefits for both programs visit the following links.

For Turbo lister:

As with any programs, you will need to spend some time to get used to the user interface. This requires couple of hours. Read the help instructions etc and you should be fine. If you have any question about Garagesale, you can always email me directly. A word of warning, I have not used Turbo lister, therefore will not be able to help.
Ok now you should have a program you can rely on to put up all your auctions online. On the next part, I am going to give you some pointers, to increase the number of people to see your auctions and increase the chances of getting a sale, by creating bidding wars between several customers.

Video Marketing I've been doing a lot of web designing lately, mainly on my wordpress site which is now complete.
