They have supposedly been phasing it out for some time now but it still works and I use it regularly.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that TL is no longer available to new users....anyone who has used &/or still has TL, can still use it (myself included- it does still work for me - have used TL for years), but I don't believe the program can be accessed by new users.

The main reason is that it is a "legacy product", the way it interacts with eBay uses old systems that are no longer needed and are no longer supported. In order to make TL continue to work into the future it would need to be completely rewritten and redesigned (not a simple task).

 

eBay has in the past promised to replicate much of the functionality of TL into the Seller Hub, progress in this are has been VERY slow and that's the prime reason that current users can still use TL.

 

eBay decided it was better not to allow new users to get started with TL since it will ultimately cease to function correctly. I foresee some possible issues coming up next week when the short duration Fixed Price listings end and GTC is the only option.

Which TL functions do you want to use?

Some sellers may have workarounds, or those functions may already be part of the updated Advanced Sell Your Item form.

Are you using the Advanced form?

Umm- start a new post asking for a critique of your current listings.

I don't think you can make "choice"  listings.

And you are charging the same amount for US shipping as for shipping to Burundi.

Do you actually want to ship to Burundi?

Turbolister died for me in August 2014.

 

TL  no longer was usable....  all of the listings in TL were no longer accessible.

 

Someone at eBay tried to get it to work.....  The end result was that I  have overloaded TL  with too many listings....  close to 10,000 listings.

 

That was when I moved to Auctiva....  took a while to adjust to a new listing tool ... but now it is a very good option...  easy to use   and quick to set up new listings.....
