I have AuctionTrakker SE (sellers edition). This is the more expensive of the product line but it well worth it. It does inventory management and auction posting where the lesser version doesn't. It also allows snipe bidding and offers the ability to adjust the snipe time. I use that a lot and it has never failed me.
I am very pleased with the software. The author does an excellent job keeping up with ebay's VERY FREQUENT changes. I've been using it for about 8 months now and I can't thing of anything else I would incorporate into the software. It's already full of features.

I've used AuctionTrakker for over two years now. Slicker than.....
Does everything a seller needs, tracks auctions, batch emails EOA notices, keeps track of contacts, payments, shipping and feedback. Automizes nearly everything. FREE updates regularly, great Customer Service (you get real, direct answers).
Best $40.00 I've spent for my auctions, I highly recommend it.

If you use Auction Trakker, do you need another site to host your images? Thanks for your help. Have been looking for a new auction hosting site for a while. I'm glad to see this thread here tonight.

If you use Auction Trakker to post your auctions (the seller's edition), YES, you will need a web-hosting site for your images. It is excellent to use simply for keeping track of all of the post-sale stuff (emails, payments, records, etc.), if you don't feel like dealing with the whole web-hosting thing though. You should check it out.

I've used Auc. Trakker for just a month now, and love it. Searched, tried, and bought a few other programs, but this is the only one that met most of my needs. Ditto on the service/tech support help. They are right there with help and updates to keep pace with ebay's changes. Great for keeping track of where I'm at with notices, etc. and status of each sale, and purchase too. Jan

Thanks,Billd26! I've already checked their website. Everything sounds good! I've got one more question: do you have to manually sent Winner bidder emails? How does that work?
I'm also testing AuctionWorks and ChannelFusion now. Acutally I've already moved most of my inventory from Auction Watch to these two sites. So far I have not decided which one I'll stay with. I decided to leave Auctio Watch since all my inventory stored in AM Pro were gone a month ago. I posted lots of messages on this board and never had the problem solved. I really need to find a better way to manage my listings. Thanks again for your help.

Chinadirectco - Once an auction end, you have to send confirmations manually - BUT, there is a very easy way to send them all out with one click of a button and it takes about a second per auction. Trust me, once you have it set up properly, it is very easy to use! They also have a great support and message board, so if you have problems, you can always get the answers and solutions quick.
The one thing you have to keep in mind is that you will need a web-hosting site if you plan to launch your auctions using Auction Trakker. You might check you EHOST if you're looking.
Good Luck!
