Could any Mac users tell me what software they use for posting auctions? I have tried eLister and it seems to have some conflicts on my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mitzee,
Petertdavis is right. Web-based is the best way for us Mac users! I personally use AuctionWatch for my auctions. Being web-based has it's advantages too! I can access it from home, from work, and on other computers when I travel. Just make sure you invest in a high-speed internet connection for your primary computer. (it's well worth the money for the amount of time you'll save!)

I know of at least one program that is designed for the Mac, just can't think of the name.
If you are fortunate enough to have a Windows emulator like Virtual PC, you could run almost anything.
For the technically minded, there's almost nothing much that a lister does, just moves the input data with some simple codes for each into an email. A lot like HTML. Not even Tinker Toy rocket science.

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. My Honey wrote that request -- he a Happy Mac user, I a diehard Win-tel user. We do have a fast internet connection using ethernet & cable--so speed is not the problem. The problem is that I want him to help me to list items when I am gone/traveling/working and he is having a hard time finding an appropriate listing and auction management program for his Mac.
I primarily use Seller Asst Pro and/or AW Pro. It is my understanding he cannot use AW Pro to list and manage auctions and SA is not for Mac. Is his only resource with AW Manager (web based version)?
I am considering switching to CA but need to find a pic hosting site that is reliable first.
Being a household of Mac and Windows--sometimes we just are not compatiable and personally, I am frustrated with the lack of Mac applicaitons for ebay listings.

mballi--
We have tried the Virtual PC route and it is just not at all the same as Windows (despite it appearing to be the same. It is so lagged and crashes...hehehehe, he claims it it is the nature of MS apps. Nothing seemingly works right on the Virtual PC and it does limit many of the features of the apps.
I wish he would switch over to this side of the technology!

Virtual PC largely depends on what machine and what Windows you run. A late model G4 with lots of RAM running OS X.1 and the latest Virtual PC with Win 2000 would be quite stable and fast.
I like both platforms. You might want to check out macwindows.com. You can coexist in peace and happiness.

Black Magik software makes a Mac eBay lister called eLister. www.blackmagik.com. Free download, but $39.95 to make it actually upload auctions. (But you can use it free to quickly hunt down category numbers.) extra template packages too, but I say down with fancy templates.
