I'm an avid eBay'er. Rather than toss stuff in the trash, I'd rather sell it on eBay. Over the years I'd collected a large number of vinyl LP's and finally decided I was tired of lugging them around the country and wanted to sell them on eBay. Due th the large volume I began seeking software to make selling them easier.

First I tried iSale. After painstakingly setting up 100 LP sales, I discovered that the program had no ability to batch load them to eBay. Then as I started loading each one individually the program totally crashed on me about every other post. It took hours. I was extremely frustrated and repeated queries to their support email never received any attention or reply.

Then I tried Garage Sale. What a dream! I was able to quickly set up several LP's for sale, batch load them to eBay and never a single problem or crash. Not only that, but I was able to download my re-listings of unsold items (previously listed in iSale) and monitor them in Garage Sale with my new listings.

I really wish I'd known this before wasting my money on iSale. Garage Sale is a far superior product.:thumbup:

I have been using iSale however there is no way to import old stuff from eBay, or if you were to create a new listing manually there is no way you can actually import those item. It be nice to have an inventory system... Nothing to complicated just import from XL and track sales and profits.... and how hard is it to actually sync with ebay...?

According to their manual
they don't support that....!
