I'll wait and see if there are bugs, how much they charge per auction, and how helpful their help staff turns out to be. Has potential. They still only give 1 free picture, and all that adds up.

Yes, it's scary. Expect a future charge of $.05 per listing, hehe.
My MisterLister has been acting funky since several releases ago. It hangs for a few minutes then gives an error message. I followed their recommendation, did a "clean" uninstall (which required me to manually edit the Windows Registry as per their instructions), reinstalled, and it still doesn't work right.
MisterLister was in beta for years and they never got it working right. Hopefully they hired a real programmer for this next one.

They *SAY* it's free but (copy and pasted from ebay) ..... "Are there any fees related to listings scheduling?
Yes. If you are using the free eBay Turbo Lister tool, a small fee will apply per scheduled listing (to be announced at a later date).
To me this says it's free to use but we will charge you a fee. I guess you can use it for free but if you press the "submit" icon, THEN there is a charge.
They need to get their stuff straight! Who would we contact to get an answer? Let me restate that ... who can we contact that will actually respond.

According to eBay the Turbo Lister and scheduling service are two different programs. Here is what eBay's Jerry has to say about it from ebay's message board:
"Regular use of the Turbo Lister will be free, just like Mister Lister. With the introduction of eBay's optional online scheduling service, a fee will be charged. The scheduling service and the Turbo Lister program are two separate entities.

They way I understood it, was they only charge for scheduling a launching in advance. So if you want to create a bunch of ads, you can hold them for launch at a future date, but it will cost extra for that privilege. If you want to just go ahead and launch them immediately, there will be no charge.

Anything for a buck... Ebay is always trying to make more and more $$$, I wish that ebay would offer this for FREE like yahoo does. If people actually use it, it will probably become a standard for launching future auctions. But if it does not work out maybe they will offer it for FREE .... (NOT)......
