From time to time i need to set up a nice looking auction on ebay for macintosh computer hardware.
Garage Sale provides nice looking templates and makes entering information a pleasure.
Where it fails lots of times is on uploading and starting the auction succesfully. When i get an Error like 240 which seems to come from ebay according to unsupported product subscription, there`s no help to track the error down. And most of the time i can start the auction successfully with the identical description and words via the ebay web interface.
which keeps me thinking about hidden problems in the software.
could be great. but i wasted hours of time with it.

WOW! I am so excited. GarageSale has come a long way. I have been using GarageSale 6.3 for over a month now and I am so trilled with it. GarageSale does everything any Ebay online service does and best of all No monthly service charge....WAHOO, HIP-HIP-HURRAY! I am doing the happy dance, LOL!

It's sooooo easy to drag and drop images into templates or use html. The images automatically transfer to a holding service of your choice. You can use free image services for this like PhotoBucket by pointing to the ftp address or use GarageSale image services or use your own website service for holding images in a folder. Once you set the image holding tank address up, GarageSale does the rest automatically without even thinking about it.

As for the reviewers below about auto update and charging... I don't see that problem because there is a preference for clicking On or Off for auto update. Just uncheck it so it's off. Even if you have to pay once a yr for a upgrade that's your decision, it's still worth it. Hey they are working hard over there why not credit them the little that they ask for. Ebay listing services charge much more by the year which I could not stand to pay that monthly charge. It's bad enough ebay charges so much.

Having complete control over my listings and images on my computer is soooo nice! and soooo EASY! and soooo FAST! LOVE IT!

The best ebay tool but too expensive.

Garage Sale is a quite useful tool, but their upgrade policy is unacceptable considering the pace of new releases. Most of them don’t even add useful features, it seems to me like the developers bump the version number to cash in again.

If you buy this, expect to pay for it again every 9 months or so.

I’m not using the application nearly enough to justify spending so much money it and regret purchasing it in the first place, it’s a shame really.

The auto hidden update feature was the killer for me. Also the app itself was starting to flake out.Would not transfer the auction correctly to ebay or not accept information entered into auction windows.This was a good app a few versions ago but now it is a piece of crap!

Beware before updating from version 5.0.1 to 5.0.2. The latest version seems to have massively broken access to the OS X Keychain, which removes any authorized accounts and prevents them from being added back. It also produces multiple requests to access the Keychain every time the program is started. I tried redownloading and installing the program and reset all of my old preferences--nothing helps.

I just emailed the developer last night, but need to get my hands on version 5.0.1 ASAP because I have auctions running and some finished ones I need to have. The last backup of the program I have is version 5.0.0 which was recently broken by an Ebay API change. The developer on has very old versions for download (3.5.something) from the website and not recent ones!

Very frustrating! I guess I'll be hesitant to update without backing up the program in the future!

Just downloaded GarageSale 3.1.3, after realizing how terrible iSale can be.

I love the ease of GarageSale, but recently encountered a problem, where I can only type my description in the editor, instead of simply clicking into the description area, and typing. I'll click into this area, and get nothing, no curser, etc.... If I type a bunch of mumbo jumbo, it'll show up when I open the "Edit Description" box. Not a biggie, but kind of a pain to float between two windows, when I know it's not necessary. I've created five auctions with no problem, this just started today.

I'm Mac illiterate, so any help on where I went wrong would be appreciated!

That 'Design Template Utility' looks interesting, but it appears to have been compiled as Intel-only. My G4 Mac Mini complains that it's unsupported on this architecture.

Any chance of a Universal version, please?

I have tried to download this version and keep getting an error when opening the dmg file. The error is GarageSale 1.3b3 codec overrun. What's the problem?
