But why has the TL download been withdrawn from UK Ebay but not from US Ebay, where it is still available. Ebay’s claim that the new hub replaces it with so-called enhanced functions is nonsense. Nowadays, with all you can eat data and smartphones, that does seem a bit ludicrous.īut back then we used to say: “Get off the internet, I need to use the phone.” So, will you miss Turbo Lister? And what would you like to see replace it? The biggest problem with the withdrawal of TL is that is the only offline option for creating listings before uploading them.
In those late dial-up days you could then upload your listings as a batch when you were logged on. (I recall working at eBay when it was launched.) The idea was that you could have an offline tool and build listings and add photos without a connection. Turbo Lister’s conception was in a pre-broadband age. In particular the bulk edit and amend functions are widely used. That said, it is still a vital helper for plenty of eBay businesses. The design hails from circa 2001 and it could have been so much better. It’s an ancient bit of kit that really has been unloved for more than a decade.
