Does anybody list offline to start later?

If it's taking to long because of your connection, scheduled or not shouldn't matter much. Scheduled start time is just an option like starting price is.

How large are your pictures? How many? Supersize?
That may be what's taking so much time.

If you're using "standard" pics, ebay reduces to 400x300 pixels. No use to send them any bigger.

I ALWAYS use turbolister to list my stuff, you don't even have to be online to create your auctions, but be sure to do any updates for turbolister first and then create away.

You don't have to schedule them (costs more) if you don't want to because you can have them all upload when you choose to do so. It's a great invention!

I'm a big turbolister fan too.

You can also 'duplicate' an auction and then make changes needed instead of entering everything each time.

I'm just using reg. size pics. And only one for each auction. I may look into that turbo lister. I'm doing my iris listings so each one is basically the same. I just change the name, pic. and description.
Lvtosnipe...if you don't schedule them does it put them all to end at the same time? I don't know if that would be a good thing because many people buy assortments and they wouldn't be able to bid at the last minute. (unless they know about AS of course). I begged my son to look at it. He said bring it in and he'll work on it. Jeez, can't even get my own kid to make a house call!! I hope this doesn't mean he's gonna charge me $40/hour too!! Don't momma's get special treatment? I am his ONLY momma ya know!

With turbolister, you can mark them all to get transmitted to eBay at once, or you can say send only those 'marked'. You can mark only one at a time, or several and then wait a few minutes to send the next one/few. eBay will start them as they are received.

Post one of your pics on the forum?

Another Turbo Lister Fan here, I list a couple of items every nite, then upload them all on whatever day I want them to end.

MG - Turbolister would be ideal for you coz you can just click your basic description as a *default* setting, then edit the name and the minor details of each listing. Takes seconds.

As for the uploading them, depending on your connection (yours sounds as slow as mine), your auctions will end around 5 seconds apart. I realise what you are saying about last minute bidders, but most will just have a proxy in for the ones they want that end close together and they may drive the end price up for you.

Other than that, you can schedule Turbo Lister to upload them at a scheduled time but it does cost extra. If you are willing to up your start price to cover the additional costs, it should work out perfectly.

Ok Puppy, but you know I always screw it up!

Oh my gosh! Did it really work?
See those poor leaves? That's from the hail storm. Ruint my pretty flowers

Puppy??? Did it work??
I used Turbo lister today for the first time.I think it is alot faster. I was watching my grandaughter too so got interrupted alot. It is alot easier. Thanks everybody.

   

I need some more help! (Everyone here already knows that!)
I'm using the turbo lister and figuring out how it works. But I need to be able to adjust my pictures. I used the feature in ebay where I could crop the edges etc. Is there any way to do that on the turbo lister? Seems odd that you can't.

No, don't think so... but I didn't realize you could do any picture editing on eBay.
