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.

COBRA BLADE  GarageSale may not be the cheapest software out there and this lead to me trying out whatever other options were available. But honestly GarageSale really is worth the money. It has become time to sell off my Sega Saturn collection and to make listing all that much easier I purchased GarageSale. I was expecting to really loose out with some of the crazy prices the rare Saturn games cost me when I got them from eBay just years before. But thanks to GarageSale and the amazing templates provided with it I have actually made a profit over what I originally paid!

Heck after just one auction GarageSale had already paid for itself. My only regret is not getting GarageSale sooner. This software really is a must for anyone who wants to sell on eBay and even boast some of the best tech support I have ever seen with my emails getting replies within the same day I send them.

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.

NOEL O\'SULLIVAN  This isn't a bad program and has a great selection of good-looking templates. The ability to paste in rich HTML to listings makes it very useful for creating good-looking listings.

I am a casual eBay user, not a store owner, and so have only sold individual items. For new users this is confusing as the workflow always involves creating a Template, not a listing. Once you get past that there are issues:

Switching between styles/layouts takes an excessive amount of time and locks up the mac for a while.

All of the shipping types and payment types for my country (Australia) are only sort-of supported and if I haven't used the application for a while and list a new item, it will almost always be rejected because of some incompatible mix of attributes. In addition, I will almost always need to log into eBay and revise my item to set the shipping and payment options properly and set item-specific attributes.

You can blame eBay's APIs for this (and I'm sure they're crap given the quality of the rest of eBay) but the reason to pay for a program is to make the experience of using eBay less irritating.

The key attributes I would use to judge any listing software are:

Does it make it easy for me to make a professional looking listing? - in GarageSale's case this is certainly true.

Does it save me time so I can get back to doing more interesting things with my life? Sadly, in GarageSale's case I can't say it does. yes, my listings look better but they take me just as long (or longer because of the need to revise at the end) to get going.

A good tool and I'm sure it would be of MUCH greater value if I was regularly selling similar items. For a casual user selling single items, you might be better off sticking with eBay's (now less awful than it used to be) user interface.

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.

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**).

JAN13  I just received a CORRECT VERSION and itÕs GREAT !!!

JAN13  Today I have received automatic upgrade in middle of my work. Half of application is in German, half in English ...

What is going on ... >>> ?   
(Version 5.3.1)

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.

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.
