Popular Auction List Tools
With auction listing tools such as Auctiva and InkFrog there is no longer a need to log in and out of your eBay account anymore. Instead you can manage your account(s) entirely through the auction listing tool. These tools act as a buffer between you and eBay, and as a result your there is no need to change your IP address or switch user accounts. Simply login and manage your accounts.
1. Auctiva (Recommended)
Auctiva is a top tier auction lister tool that enables you to create, post and manage your listings. It includes 1,800 customizable templates, free image hosting (24+ Images per Listing) and many more features.
After creating a new eBay account, you should create a new Auctiva account for it. Then create an Autiva token that links your eBay account to your Auctiva account (don’t worry this is safe because Auctiva does not share your personal details with eBay — just make sure you are doing this from the same IP address you would normally use to access your eBay account). Now once your accounts are linked, the amazing thing about Auctiva is that you can log into it from ANY IP address and to list new auctions.
2. Inkfrog (Recommended)
With professional templates, scheduled listings, unlimited images, custom profiles, auto feedback and so much more… InkFrog is an amazing auction lister tool. If you have a bunch of eBay accounts and want an easier way to mange them.. then Inkfrog is what you need (yes it works with multiple accounts).
Other Notable Auction Listing Tools
| Service | Notes |
|---|---|
| Zoovy | Links to eBay – integrated with most payment processors |
| Inkfrogopen.com | The new version of InkFrog? |
| Turbolister | Alternative would be TurboLister for Windows but unless you keep separate from other users on your computer — TurboLister is not recommended. |
| GarageSale for Mac Users | Each instance of Garage Sale on Mac user accounts is separate. |
| PushAuctions | Can be expensive. Unlimited accounts (paid per account) — can do what Auctiva and Inkfrog does but the UI is not the best looking. |
| Vendio | Links with eBay and other online marketplaces — buyer appreciate is a nice feature — good for letting customers know your preferred payment method — Not as friendly |
| Channel Advisor | No free trial to work with. Cost – $500 + 1% of selling price |
