How to Buy and Sell on eBay


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Like many of you, I’ve purchased and sold things through eBay auctions. However, the experience wasn’t nearly as clean as it could have been. Have you tried making a killer eBay page to sell something? It’s impossible on your own – so maybe this software can help. GarageSale gives you easy templates that will help you set up a professional looking eBay page in minutes.

GarageSale is a slick, full-featured client application for the eBay online auction system. With GarageSale Mac OS X users can edit, track and manage all their auctions with one single application – easily and fast. Use GarageSale’s intuitive and reliable interface to create eBay auctions conveniently. Stop waiting for eBay to lead you through endless web pages step-by-step.

They have integrated iPhoto, so that you can drag-and-drop your images into your auctions. There are over 150 design templates, which can be changed while you’re designing with the click of a button. I have a feeling many Windows eBay sellers may switch to a Mac after seeing this. If you want to sell your items on eBay, you want your auction to stand out and look good!

The same people who brought you GarageSale, also bring you GarageBuy. GarageBuy is a slick, full-featured client application for all of your search and purchasing on eBay. GarageBuy can save your eBay searches, tracks your watched auctions and lets you bid on auctions without hassle.

GaragePay lets you download, view, search and archive all your PayPal transactions without having to log into the PayPal website. It handles incoming as well as outgoing money transfers.

If you’re an eBay buyer or seller (or both!), be sure to check out the offerings from the folks over at iwascoding.

Wow, if there was an application that allowed me to buy/sell so easily like this does for Windows.. that would be great! Thats just one things I hate about setting up to sell stuff, is all the crud you have to go through to actually sell something. Its why I use craigslist or kijiji. Its soo much easier and “free” and people don’t really “expect” fancy stuffs with these sites.

With GarageSale this seems to make it soo simple.

ebay sales are falling rapidly, while their competitors are on the rise! ebay stocks have taken a nosedive, while their competitors’ continue to increase in value. Fabulous ebay users are leaving in droves, while the ebay scammers have learned how to use ebay’s new policies to rob their trading partners. Dishonest sellers are using the hidden bidder policies to shill bid against honest buyers and scamming buyers are using ebay’s current policies to get total refunds on items which they are allowed to keep. The site is a MESS!!! HONEST people are going elsewhere, where fairness and safe trading is valued.

Due to ex ebay CEO & current CEO, Donahoe’s “Disruptive Innovation” of ebay, ebay is no longer safe for buyers or sellers. ebay owns Paypal and is now FORCING the majority of users to use Paypal ONLY. Paypal’s amended User Policy now allows Paypal to withhold ANY users funds for up to 180 days at Paypal’s “Sole Discretion”!!! There is no appeals process…Paypal is JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER!

Tp learn more about what ebay/Paypal users are TRULY experiencing, search the internet for “”Ebay Stockholders and Sellers Calling For Immediate Termination of John Donohoe” at petitiononline.

To read what ebay/Paypal employees are saying about the extremely bad management at headquarters, search “ebay” at glassdoor.

I have not had experience with this particular program, but have seen similar programs that people have loved to use. Programs like GarageSale are reasonably priced, and if you plan on selling items weekly, it quickly pays for itself. But again, I have never personally used them. Nice write up. =D
