Ebay sellers. . .Auction Zealot?

[hambirg]

I haven't sold regularly on Ebay in years. I used to use a free service so I could post more pictures and schedule my listings for free. I'm looking for something similar now. What do you all use? Anybody use Auction Zealot? TIA


ETA-Inkfrog is what I think I used to use before. Any opinions on what's best. I never liked Auctiva much and I like to pose LOTS of pics and schedule my listings. .so the Ebay listing form gets pricey.

I haven't tried a 3rd party service yet (even though I've been selling for almost 9 years!). I do use TurboLister (from ebay) to put my listings together, but I upload my photos to PhotoBucket for free then use the HTML tags to insert them into the body of my listing, rather than having ebay host my photos. It is free to use TurboLister as well - you just have to update it every so often, especially when ebay makes changes. However, it will alert you when you upload if it detects problems with your listings.

I sometimes schedule my listings, but since you can list so many auctions for no insertion fee now, I figure the 10-cent scheduling fee is what I would have paid for insertion anyway. I suppose I'd be more hesitant if I listed hundreds of auctions a week or something, but my small-time side business can absorb the extra $5 or so each month.

That may not be what you're looking for, but I've been satisfied with the service.

I use Seller Source Book. $8 a month and they have tons of templates and you can use up to 15 photos in 1 auction I believe. You can also schedule your items to launch at a later date for free.

I use SSB too and LOVE it.

I've been with auctiva for years and had great success with it. It was a pain setting up my seller profiles and details in the beginning but once that was done, now I can get a listing up and scheduled in just a few minutes. I have the 9.95 a month plan but think they still offer a free account option.

I used the old turbo-lister when I began but then they stopped offering that and changed TL, making it too pricey to schedule listings and use lots of pics in my listings - plus the new version it kept crashing on my system. In the end, I'm very thankful to have been forced away from TL back then b/c I saved $$ and had faster, easier, & better looking listings. It was actually somebody here on the BB who suggested using auctiva when I posted years ago about issues I was having with the changes.
Tried SSB too, thinking I'd switch, when auctiva started charging users but for me SSB just seemed to take more time to set everything up, and then longer still to create a listing & get it scheduled. I really liked SSB's template selection but just couldn't justify the increased time it was taking me to use their format...
