I used TL for one thing only and wonder if you can do this with 6Bit:
1) Load a bunch of closed listings from one ebay account.
2) Save them on your computer.
3) Change TL to a different account.
4) Load the saved listings from your computer.
5) Upload the listings to the different account.
This has allowed me to take advantage of many free listing promotions.
I could live with the end of TL much better if ebay would keep unsold ended listings forever. BONANZA does; CRAIGS LIST does. Why can’t ebay. If unsold ended listings remained on the system, working through seller hub would be an acceptable alternative. And if a means of sorting via category was added, even better. Wonder how much ebay gets from the six bit fee for partenring with them. I will not use six bit or any other system that charges a fee.
Another way to bleed the sellers. Period. They don’t know how to do anything else.
Surprised that eBay is publicly recommending an installed/desktop package (SixBit) to replace Turbolister instead of one of the many web-native solutions out there.
