Hello. Anybody know how long Turbo Lister has been experiencing it's latest episode of "network problems preventing Turbo Lister from communicating with ebay"?
I noticed on the ebay discussion boards that a lot of sellers are going through plenty of anguish over the latest TL problem and have wasted irreplaceable hours of time and effort blaming their own computers and making numerous technical adjustments to their pc's.
Just like ebay wants them to do. As is, Turbo Lister makes some users adjust their screen size just to use it, endure countless updates, and other nonsense.
Couldn't ebay, a multi-million (or possibly billion) dollar company, hire programmers that could make this glue-factory candidate run correctly, and not release it til it was ready, and keep Mister Lister available til Turbo Lister was reliable?
Ebay "tech help" has been no help whatsoever, and as par for the course, they try to get sellers to go to the community boards to have other people help solve a problem that ebay caused. Ebay wants the money, but they ain't interested in the downside in their perpetration of Turbo-Abomination. When ebay answers, it's usually canned, a week late and $10 short, and the first line of defense is to blame the user's computer and for the user to seek help from the "community".
I wish to God some other company would step up to the plate and give ebay the competitive comeuppance ebay's been begging for for years now.
I'm done ranting. Thanks for listening, and it's time to shop around for Plan B.

I abandoned TL awhile back. I have been using Poster Toaster for my offline ad creation and posting. It is in the beta stages and has a few bugs, but the staff is dedicated and users are helpful on the message board. I have used it since it's debute with minimal headaches. You can take a look and decide if it might be for you. Best of all, it's FREE.

A couple months ago, I left Vendio to save a few pennies per item. I used Turbo Lister. Granted I probably only uploaded 10 auctions, but I had zero problems and it worked fine for me. Yes, they procedure was clunkier than Sales Manager Pro but not that difficult.
I have have returned to using Vendio, not because of Turbo Lister problems or even PayPal auction management problems. I realized that using Vendio actually saved me A LOT of time. Keeping track of all the auctions and post sale stuff is so much smoother and faster here.
