ARTIARTURRO  I love this app! It is so comfortable to sell stuff with GarageSale, I can not imagine to ever use the Ebay-Website again (which is such a pain in the a**).

MISTERSQUID  While this software really is the best eBay software for Mac, it is only incrementally better than the native eBay web interface.

Editing in Preview mode is horrific. You thought Word was bad, GarageSale makes common tasks such as indenting text, modifying paragraphs, and adding/removing bulleted lists worse than going to the dentist. The software defies all conventions when it comes to editing text.

There are also small niggling things, like the fact that when one inserts a link, the fields in the sheet that appears cannot be tabbed through.

The software also suffers from some poorly grouped functionality. It’s not immediately clear where to add details such as shipping information and/or what information is being used. Duplicating an auction will copy shipping settings from the auction but this information will silently contradict the information shown in the inspector.

This software provides an essential service for people who use eBay a lot, but it needs some serious work in terms of usability.

SZQ  I have used this software for a few years. The more complex it gets the slower it runs. My main complaint is changing of themes - it takes a long while to update - maybe our slow internet is to blame?

The designs are beautiful, but new ones have been very slow to appear. I am a casual ebay seller, and like this program.

I would have given it an extra star if changing themes was quicker.

NEILJAMES  I've been looking for an app like this! Thank you. I agree, it's so much better than using the regular ebay site. Time to get some auctions up.

VIOLISA  I think version 4.1 is a vast improvement. The program's design is sleeker, and the tools are more intuitive. I really like the "cover flow" option where you can browser through templates in preview mode. Another big advantage is the way you can choose photos directly from your iPhoto library. This alone saves several minutes of time per auction. More of Ebay's specialty options are supported, and the the text in the description is automatically converted to html. You can even view user messages about your auctions and reply to them within the program!

My only caveat is that the version 4.1 has been a bit buggy. Sometimes the preview option will make the program unexpectedly quit. But, I've found restarting my computer clears this up and then the program works fine again, without any data loss. I've also had a little trouble with the font size on the uploaded auction appearing larger than the way it was shown when I was creating the template. But, that's easily remedied by simply tweaking the font size to be smaller on the template and using the "revise running auctions" option on the Template menu. You can even make changes on a batch of templates, then select them all and upload all the changes at once!

Overall, I think this program is totally worth it for anyone who's got a lot of auctions to manage, and is computer saavy enough to find easy workarounds for minor issues like I described above. I like the program so much, I'm going to upgrade to version 5 today.

STUDIODAVE56  Well it would seem that, JAN13 does not know what leg he/she is standing on. You can not host your pictures on "your own server" and use "Ebay Picture Service" at the same time.

"EPS" stores the pictures on it's own servers, that's how it works. GarageSale is a very good program for what it does. I would like a few more things from it and I see over time they are getting implemented. The support from GS developers I will say is the best I have ever had, they are the only developer that when I had trouble for a long time with a pesky issue and asked respectively, Ilja contacted me through ichat and we solved the problem. It was a very difficult problem to track down. So from Germany to the USA we talked and shared the screen. I see another of my long time hopes showing up in this program now. Thanks iwascoding for sticking with it.

JAN13  GarageSale 5.3b5 ... is a very GOOD (!) update thou old blemish with posting eBay in store “specials” like new arrivals and item on sale still does not work. You have to do it manualy. Why? Because the link on image siting on your server will become to be dead ....

If this issue will be fixed the GarageSale 5.x or what ever version of it The GarageSale will be a UNDISPUTED CHAMPION with hands down in category of eBay selling software for Mac computer. Period !

JAN13  It look’s like, that DAVE and GARAGEsale team them self have done a lot of clicking on +/- icons .... LOL ...

Well, that will definitely not help the issue ... scripting, scripting ... scripting Mr. Dave, that is what we are talking about here !

I do NOT say, that Garagesale software is no good, I am saying it could be much better if person from Garagesale developer site will be not that overconfident ..

RE : Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that's when something snaps up and bites you.
