I was wondering if anyone has an Access database they use to keeep track of their auctions that they would be willing to share? I mostly just do not have the time to create one myself.

I recommend that you spend a couple hours putting one together. What works for one seller won't work for another. And you won't be able to fix and/or change it if you don't know how it was made.
I spent about 40 hours working on mine with all its changes and related Word documents. I was lucky to have some basic Access training and the wisdom of Access pros at my job, but they didn't do any work for me. One made a design suggestion to a problem I had and I found the answer to implement it on Microsoft's Knowledge Base. The time I spent on it has proven well worth it: it saves me hours every week.
If you don't have the time to do your own database, buy a commercial product and live with its limitations or advantages. No one expects you to be a database programmer.
