GarageSale overview

GarageSale lets you comfortably create, launch and track your listings. Manage your sales and inventory. Simplify your eBay life and use the most advanced eBay seller tool for Mac.

Listing Creator

GarageSale's main goal is to provide you with everything that you need to create and start attractive eBay listings - with ease. To meet this goal GarageSale offers all the needed eBay options for private and for business sellers and lets you edit and style your item description and images. GarageSale helps you with the complexity of the eBay system by keeping you informed about potential eBay traps and error messages. Listing on eBay is fun again!

Tracking

GarageSale tracks the state of your listings and orders. It shows all information about your listing, like current bid, watchers, sold item, listing fees and everything else. When a listing has finished you'll be informed about the buyer's name, the address and all transaction details. The order state is synced with eBay.

Synching

If you work with GarageSale on severals Macs you might find the Synching feature helpful. Once enabled your GarageSale database will be synched between your Macs. Please see the Synching chapter in the manual for all details.

Parts Compatibility

When listing vehicle parts, you can specify a list of compatible vehicles on eBay USA Motors, eBay Germany, eBay Australia and eBay UK. Make sure the category you selected supports parts compatibility.

CSV Import for Listings and Inventory

GarageSale can import listings from files in arbitrary CSV formats. You can specify what column in your CSV file is mapped to what listing or inventory field in GarageSale. Instead of importing you can also instruct GarageSale to just update existing listings from the data in the CSV file based on the SKU.

Orders

GarageSale's Orders sections keep track of incoming orders. It shows information about the order status, purchased items and provides you with all buyer details that you need to process the order and to ship your items. If needed you can communicate with your buyers by sending an eBay message. Once the item is shipped, upload the tracking ID to eBay and leave feedback right from within GarageSale.

Packing Slips and Invoices

Print packing slips that you can add to the shipment or use them to help you find the ordered items in your warehouse. Do you have a label printer? Simply print the buyer's address using the address label template (29mm). If you're familiar to HTML you can create your own labels, too. Create invoices by sending the data from your orders to the GrandTotal invoice application.

Revise, Relist, Auto-Restart

If you need to modify a listing after starting it, you can do this easily from within GarageSale. Finished listings that haven't received any bids or didn't sell can be relisted without paying listing fees twice (depending on eBay's relisting policy). GarageSale is also giving you control over what listing attributes to update. This way you can keep your recent sales score for fixed-price items and retain your Best Match rank in eBay's search result.

The automatic restart feature starts new listings once your item has sold out on eBay. Using "re-list" will preserve the existing search rank of your ended listing and carry it over to the re-listed listing. This feature is linked with GarageSale's inventory management: If you have less inventory in stock than what you are offering for sale in your listing, GarageSale will not start the listing.

To revise, relist or to stop a listing open the "More" button in GarageSale's toolbar or the "Listing" menu in GarageSale's menu bar.

There is a preference in this product to not display a small logo at the end of your listings stating your listing was made with this product. When that is turned off the logo does not appear in your listings, but what the company doe snot tell you is that they are injecting hidden html in your listing anyway. The two are examples for two different versions. <div style="position: absolute !important; top: -5px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden !important; font-size: 1px !important; line-height: 1px !important;"> _gsrx_vers_859 (GS 7.0.21 (859))</div> <div style="position: absolute !important; top: -5px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden !important; font-size: 1px !important; line-height: 1px !important;"> _gsrx_vers_1480 (GS 9.1.1 (1480))</div> The company is then able to search for that code to find listing uploaded with their product. For example; searching for "gsrx_vers_859" will find all listings uploaded with build number 859. The company is using that information to display a counter on their website of all listings on eBay. They are also showing numerous examples of listings on eBay using their product on their website that include the gallery picture for each item, title, listing number and price. These are linked to the actual eBay listings. This company is violating the intellectual property rights of its users by using images with the owner's permission. They are injecting hidden code into listing in order to track listings and mine ebay data.

Once GarageSale went beyond version 6.6x - it became a steaming pile of garbage.. waste of time , jump through hoops for hours to do something extremely simple one could do effortlessly for years. This is 'chaos' software. Thank God I don't have to rely on Ebay anymore - but the real problem is Garagesale - they obviously hired imbeciles to re-design the interface every few months.. hiding important windows and funtions, changing names of things, burying stuff in mind boggling areas of the app.. bloating out the software so it crashes on a Modern computer..when it used to run seamlessly . Did they really have to hire the Millenial sector to design the recent interfaces? They are autistic.. nothing works for regular people when an autistic person gets their hands on it.. and if you think that's an insult , you don't know what the tech sector is up to. And judging by the comments here ... I'm not alone. On the "Iwascoding' forums..they block and ban people with these concerns. They have become a corrupt corporation.. and they have to be purged. Just like the police who investigate themselves.. that is wrong.

GarageSale was great in the past. But version 8 is crippleware, limited to 50 listings per month, unless you buy a subscription ($14.99/month or $149.90/year!). That makes V8 a significant DOWNGRADE from V7. Das ist Quatsch!

Long time customer.... but not getting another dollar from me ... I say NO to subscription blood-vampires ... especially not those who are double dipping on expensive minor upgrade licenses + subscriptions! I don't hesitate to call this greedy!
