Default Auctiva v Turbo Lister

Just tried out Auctiva for the first time listing multipule lots.
I got to tell you I was less than impressed.

Listing my chrome lots, just changing title and description... and then spacing out the timing of scheduled listings seemed to take twice as long as working with Turbo Lister.

Sure I save a dime for the scheduled listing charge, but my time is worth more than that. And I would rather be sorting cards and watching the tube, than staring at a computer screen agonizing over getting everything 100% correct.

Am I missing something? perhaps there is a better way of feeding decriptions/ titles to Auctiva?

And both Turbo Lister and Auctiva would be well served if I could just import a list of titles and descriptions from excel or text file or anything......
There HAS GOT to be a BETTER WAY........

I said the same thing about auctiva in the beginning as well. You have to figure out how to make a templete, make folders, get shipping table correct. Once you do all of that, to list a card takes no time at all, just change the description, title, picture, and price and you are set.

I hear ya, but what I am saying is just changing title, pic, price is much faster with Turbo Lister.... I can do a hundred in an hour....whereas Auctiva took me 2 hours to do 50.....

Well you would get used to it. I agree on the loading time, when you create a listing, and go to create similair listing it takes 10 seconds to load the next listing. I don't know how long turbo takes, but yea auctiva is slow in some screens.
