Auctiva is a powerful Ebay auction tool that is totally FREE.

I stumbled across the Auctiva website a few months ago while I was searching for free shop templates. Lets face it, Ebays templates are a bit out of date and boring. Auctiva has 100's of templates that are professionally designed for many categories. When I became a member, Auctiva did not support Australian Ebayers but has recently introduced full online support for AU users.

Basically, Auctiva is an online listing program which procedure is similar to listing online with Ebay. All your auctions are entered into the Auctiva database online. You can upload your listings from Auctiva and Auctiva keeps a record of all your listings and images for future reference.

Auctiva's auction tool site has totally free image hosting. Up to 100's of images can be uploaded at a time and effectively managed, magnificent templates that can be customised to suit seller's needs, a one page listing tool and a scrolling store at the bottom of each listing so buyers get a snapshot of other items you have listed on Ebay (fantastic promotional tool). There is also access to sales tools and reports

Below is a comparison table between Ebay and Auctiva services:


If anything, you have to look at their free templates. My trick is to create a very basic listing in my Auctiva account, copy and paste the HTML code into Turbo Lister and save the template for any future Ebay listings.

If you get stuck on something, Auctiva also has an online message board and free interactive tutorials.

Well worth a visit.

WHILE YOU MENTION ALL THESE GREAT THINGS. YOU FORGOT TO MENTION HOW THE SITE LOADS BLANK PAGES AND ERROR PAGES. TAKES A VERY LONG TIME FOR THE PAGES TO LOAD AND CUSTOMERS THAT COMPLAIN WHEN THEY TRY AND PAY THROUGH THIS SITE AND IT LOADS THEM AN ERROR PAGE. ITS BEEN 4 DAYS NOW AND I CAN BARLEY GET ANYTHING LISTED DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF THIS SITES ABILITY TO HANDLE SUCH HIGH VOLUME OF BUSINESS. EFFECTS MY SALES AND I WILL BE SEARCHING FOR A NEW WAY TO LIST.
