I'm downloading it as I type this. Mr. Lister users get 3 months free, so I wouldn't have to pay until June if I want to keep it.
I think for the flat fee $5.00 a month it will be worth it if it is nice! I'm curious how the program will be.

I just posted this on another thread but here it is again.
Seller's Assistant Basic & Seller's Assistant Pro were originally Auction Assistant Classic & Auction Assistant Pro developed by Blackthorne Software.
These programs were originally sold ($50/$150, respectively) & included free upgrades for life.
Well, "life" ended not too long after Blackthorne sold it to ebay. Now ebay has renamed it & has changed to the monthly fee arrangement.
These are okay programs which I've used for years but AW had some nicer "options & features" in their program.
About the only "good" thing about SAB/SAP is being owned by ebay, they do tend to incorporate the changes FAST into their upgrades & have always had a close tie in to programs like BillPoint.

I bought Blackthorne Seller's Assistant Basic last August for $59.95. I downloaded the new Seller's Assitant Basic on Feb 28th. I prefer to use the Blachrorne program and still use it because the Sellers Assistant program is full of bugs and they keep putting out patches every other day, they are up to 7 pathces as of today. They really push the IPix with the new program, but you can use your own picture hosting.
Oh P.S. According to the Mister Lister board on eBay they are keeping the Mister Lister, try not to cause people any panic about loosing one of the last free programs.

eBay has not said that SA will end Mr. Lister, but why keep supporting Mr. Lister when you can have the same sellers PAY to use software that you charge.
Makes little sense to keep supporting two software platforms when one is free, and the other you get income from.
It is not official, and they haven't said anything, but that doesn't mean they will keep Mr. Lister around much longer after SA transition happens.
