• Creating Listings for Commonly Sold Items

• Uploading Your Listings

As you learned in Chapter 15, "Selling Items via Online Auction," creating an item listing with eBay's standard selling process isn't that hard. However, if you have a lot of items to list, this page-by-page process can be time-consuming. Going through that cumbersome procedure for a dozen or more items isn't very appealingtrust me.

A better solution if you have a lot of items to list is to use a bulk listing program or service. These tools let you create a large number of item listings in advance, and even reuse saved listingsgreat if you run multiple auctions for similar items. You then schedule your auctions to launch at the time of your choosing, and you're done with it.

Several of these bulk listing tools are available, but the most popular one is available from eBay free of charge. This program is called Turbo Lister, and it also lets you create great-looking item listings through the use of predesigned templates.
