Turbo Lister Releases

6.3.101.9 - February 20, 2008

Gallery Picture is now free

For most sites Gallery Picture is now free. For such sites, the Gallery Picture checkbox in the Listing Upgrades section has now been removed. The first picture in "Click to insert a picture" will always be the gallery picture irrespective of the Photo Hosting Option (eBay Picture Services or Self-hosted pictures). Note that for the Self-hosted pictures there is no more "Gallery URL" option - instead the first picture ("Photo 1") will always be the gallery picture

In the description builder, the supersize option has now been removed (US, US Motors and Canada only)

A Value Pack option has been added that combines Gallery Plus, Subtitle and Listing Designer at a discount

Editing an item that was previously saved with Supersize will upgrade the item to Picture Pack automatically

Enhancements

Local Pickup

For the "Flat - Same cost to all buyers" Domestic Shipping, the Local Delivery and Local Pickup Domestic Shipping Services have been removed. They have been replaced by a Local Pickup checkbox: "Buyers can pick up the item from you"

UK Business Registration

If you are a UK Seller, you may be blocked from listing if you are determined by eBay to be a business seller but have only registered as a private account. To continue listing you need to upgrade your account to a Business Account

 5.9.101.0 - July 19, 2007

PayPal Buyer Financing Removed

The Buyer Financing section under Payment methods has been removed. See also http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200707051650392.html

Users who are getting the "Paypal promotional financing is no longer supported in eBay listings. It has been dropped from your listing" warning message during uploads will no longer see this once they update to this version

Restrictions on Duration Change

Users can no longer (after a certain grace period) extend the duration of their items. See: Update: Removal of Revise Item Duration

Shipping Discounts

The "Each Add'l Item" text field is now shown for the option "Display option to select combined shipping discounts" (the quantity  needs to be more than 1). This conforms to the current web flow. Previously Turbo Lister would, if the combined shipping discounts option was selected, silently default the additional item shipping cost to the shipping cost of the first item.

Turbo Lister Data

Advanced Turbo Lister users may wish to move their Turbo Lister data directory to some other directory. Currently Turbo Lister data directory defaults to the following directory: (assuming Windows is installed on the C: drive)

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\eBay\Turbo Lister2
Windows Vista: C:\ProgramData\eBay\Turbo Lister2

To move your data directory to some other directory (note this is only possible after installation) change the string value "DataDir" under the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eBay\Turbo Lister2" to the desired directory and move the existing directory to the new directory
