i sell on ebay and used in the past inkfrog and the seller sourcebook. i don’t consider myself ignorant but i only realized today, after years of seller, that inkfrog (i used them since 2003) and now the seller sourcebook compressed files that are uploaded to their sites – the pictures for auctions.

if i use the drag and drop – java uploaded – the files are compressed but they upload very fast. if i use the classic uploader, it is slow as molasses, i am limited to the amount of images i can upload at one time but it does not compress.

i want to now try garage sale. can you tell me what i need to know about images — i.e. are there uploading limits, are they compressed, do i have to preserve the quality of the images i take by “saving them to the web” in photoshop??

i want simply, fast drag and drop features on non-compressed images.

does garage sale have this?? what is the file storage limits?? thanks

Thanks for the great piece of software. I have been using Garage sale for the last 3 years and I love it. the last time I opened the program, to list items on ebay, it prompted me to upgrade. And of course, i did, just like every other upgrade that has come along. However this time my upgrade threw me into demo mode and my license key will not unlock the software because it is for a previous version. There was no indication in the upgrade dialog box that I would have to pay for the upgrade and in the past they have all been free.

I am a casual seller and have no intention or need to pay for a new version when the old version works just fine, so I would like to revert to the previous version however I cannot find the means to do so. Please help in to revert to previous version.

thanks in advance.

I was disappointed to find this was a paid update. I had been led to believe that when I bought my license it was a license for life. Given how very buggy 5 is and the reviews I’ve been reading I am not inclined to pay for the upgrade.

Hi Bridget,

I cannot find your support request. Where did you send it to? Did you use the support form in the contact area of our website?

Also, you are most likely trying to register a version 3 of GarageSale with a serial number for version 4 or 5. Make sure you are using the latest version from our website.

Regards,
Ilja

this same thing happened to me yesterday:
“Hi,
I just bought garagesale online.
When I try to install it I get the question: “Please enter your user name and code below”
I do just that (my name plus the registration code that came with my instructions packet) and I get the following INSULTING reply:
PLEASE SUPPORT MACINTOSH SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS BY ACTUALLY BUYING A SERIAL NUMBER.

then nothing.

what GIVES ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”

i emailed customer support, i’ve gotten nothing back, not even a confirmation of my email. i’m feeling ripped off and annoyed cause i couldnt start my auctions last night as planned.
can someone give me a code thats functional??

Hi Mathias, Ilja

I just upgarade and spent the $15. No problem. However it was not clear to me that I needed to pay.

Your support and help has always been excellent with version 3 I don’t see why that won’t be the same.

Is this Version fully compatable with Mac OS 10.4.10?

is there a place that explains the work arounds for the bugs all in one place untill you have everything ironed out ?

Best

Hello! I was wondering if you can integrate watermarking auction images into garagesale. In my opinion its good to use against image thiefs plus the people looking at your ebay auction recognize that its your own photo.

I have to agree with many of the comments above good and bad:
1. To suggest that it is clear to the user that this is a paid upgrade is simply not true, it is not clear. I like many other updated before becoming aware that the upgrade was not free.
2. What was the rush in releasing this upgrade, is it ready? Not only does it feel less intuitive than the previous release, in the last 2 hours I have had the spinning ball twice, simply creating a new auction, forcing me to quit the program. However…
3. The contact support has been very good.

Hello,

I just downloaded the new version and I only have two complaints….

The first is I cannot seem to figure out how to schedule items as easy as the old version.

The second is GarageSale is trying to make me repurchase the software that I already purchased…Is this because of the new update?

Other than that, great product.

Thanks.
