Version 1.1 of GarageSale Touch, our auction listing application for the iPhone, has just been approved by Apple and is available from the iTunes AppStore. The new release supports eBay’s auction scheduler, letting you submit an auction to eBay before its actual start time. Users can now select which image they want to use as Gallery image for an auction.

GarageSale touch now displays the number of watchers and page views for tracked auctions. We also fixed bugs related to specifying item attributes in certain categories and exporting auctions to the desktop version of GarageSale.

Fire up your copy of iTunes to download the update right away.

We had the chance to be interviewed in this week’s episode of eBay Radio. Check the links below to hear me talk with Ginger from eBay and eBay’s radios Jim Griffith about where iwascoding comes from and about the products we do.

We are proud to announce that we have been qualified by eBay to join their Certified Provider Program.

Being a Certified Provider means that we were able to demonstrate a certain level of expertise and experience in the eBay’s technologies and marketplace. And that wasn’t easy to accomplish.

Not only are we the first company with a Mac desktop application to be allowed in the Certified Provider Program – we are also the first non-US based company carrying this title.

We’d like to thank all GarageSale users who made this possible with their testimonials and success stories.

All of GarageSale’s 136 multi-layout auction designs now support eBay’s new ‘View Item’ page, which will be rolled out to most buyers in mid-June. Every single design was tweaked to ensure your items look perfect after eBay switches to the new design in all major web browsers.

We also updated GarageSale’s built-in editor to match eBay’s redesigned interface. You can see it in action in our updated GarageSale Basics Tutorial.

Also new is support for Twitter. GarageSale can now automatically update your Twitter status when you post items to eBay.

You can see what people are selling with GarageSale by searching Twitter for the #garagesale hashtag.

The new version automatically archives web pages of ended auctions. You can still view your items after eBay’s 60 day expiration period.

When revising running auctions, you can now choose which parts of your auctions to revise. This gives you you the chance to revise parts of your auction when eBay’s policy forbids updating the whole auction.

The complete release notes are available at the GarageSale wiki.

Today we proudly announce, that in March 2009 GarageSale users listed 408.311 items on eBay!

That’s the first time the number of 400.000 items has been exceeded in a single month since we released GarageSale 1.0 almost 5 years ago.

Needless to say that we as Mac developers are excited about these numbers. We’d like to thank all GarageSale users for their confidence in our software.
