Installation & Setup:
How do I install GarageSale touch on my iPhone or iPod touch?
You'll need to download the application to your iPhone or iPod touch from the App Store.
I get a message saying that I am accessing eBay via a new device, and I need to verify the account by either phone or email?
This is a security function from eBay.
Access the 'My eBay' website on your computer. There is a page where you can set a security question in your account details. Once you have set your security question, you should be able to complete the Auth & Auth process on your iPhone.

Why do I have to fetch a 'token' at the eBay site?
GarageSale touch is a certified eBay client. The only way for certified clients to add listings for your eBay account is via an access token. On the page you are granting GarageSale touch this eBay token.
Do I have to give you access to my eBay account?
You don't give us access to your account at all! eBays authorization page is a little bit misleading on that. When you agree to the eBay page, you give GarageSale touch access to your eBay account in form of an access token. This access token is not shared with anybody, including us.
What information will GarageSale touch share with you?
GarageSale touch won't share any kind of information about your eBay auctions or eBay activies with us. eBays sign-in page is designed also for web based eBay tools, where your token would be transmitted to the tool provider. Using that token a tool provider could manage your account for you and access your eBay information. GarageSale touch does not share your token with us, so none of your eBay information is shared.
Usage & Settings:

Why isn't GarageSale touch tracking all of my running auctions?
For performance reasons GarageSale touch tracks only up to 20 of your auctions. It shows the first 20 auctions which will end first.
How do I remove a second category?
Swipe to delete: Just swipe your finger horizontally accross the 'Category 2' button and a red 'Delete' button will appear on the right side.
How do I change to another eBay Site?
You can change the eBay Site in the GarageSale touch preferences.
Why can I set a password in the GarageSale touch preferences?
Protect your eBay account with a password, so nobody can start auctions using your iPhone. It won't change your original eBay password.
How many eBay accounts can I use with GarageSale touch?
Right now GarageSale touch allows one eBay account to be used at a time.
I get an error concerning my "Authorization Token". What now?
eBay tokens expire automatically after a period of time. Refresh your token in the GarageSale touch preferences.
Miscellaneous:
Do I need the full version of GarageSale for Mac?
No, you can use GarageSale touch as a standalone application.
