Turbo Lister

Turbo lister is a handy little program from eBay that helps you create your eBay listings on your own PC at home.

It includes tools to help you create attractive adverts quickly for listing on eBay. You can use your own html code or use the simple WYSIWYG wordprocessor like feature. A number of attractive templates and backgrounds are included and eBay regularly update them. Around Christmas time for example, you will get a lot of Christmas themed templates.

Once you have created your listings, they are stored permanently on your PC. The listings can then be uploaded quickly to eBay at any time you choose. This saves time creating the same listings over and over again using eBay's listing creation web pages. Using Turbo lister is also the only practical way of bulk listing loads of items at once.

In addition, each listing you create can be stored in an easy to understand set of folders which you create - useful if you have many different types of listings for many different products. Listings become much more manageable.

Listings can be scheduled to start and any time in the near future or started immediately.

It is completely free to download and use. Download it here now:
