We just released Auction Design Pack #26 featuring eight new designs. As always, all GarageSale auction designs contain several different layouts that let you change image alignment or hide certain design elements.

You can see all designs included with pack 26 at here. These new templates require GarageSale 4.0.6 and are already included in the current GarageSale download.

GarageSale 4 is now shipping. We don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call this “The most extensive update in GarageSale history!“. Read on to find out why we think so:

Greatly improved interface
We invested a lot of effort in making sure the interface harmonizes perfectly with the world of Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) - while still offering a familiar experience to long-time GarageSalers. The distinct modes for auctions and template have been unified into a single view where each item is accessible with a single click.

Preview editing
Now edit your auctions without ever leaving preview mode. This includes not only the title, description, and images - you can also specify categories and set item attributes there too. You never have to switch between the auction edit and preview modes again!

Our updated GarageSale tutorial movie should give you an idea of how editing in preview mode feels like.

If you’ve been using custom auction designs in GarageSale, you’ll be delighted to hear that your existing designs will get all theses features ‘for free’ - no code tweaking required. (And yes, you can still edit templates the traditional way if you prefer.)

Faster auction uploads
Since most new Macs ship with multiple CPUs, it only made sense for us to rewrite GarageSale’s auction upload engine from scratch to take advantage of this. GarageSale will now upload auctions and images concurrently.

Graphical auction scheduling
GarageSale’s built-in auction scheduler has grown up. Auctions can now be scheduled with drag-and-drop - just like you’re used to from your favorite calendar application.

Improved eBay messaging
With past versions of GarageSale you could send messages to buyers or view incoming messages via eBay’s messaging system. We’ve now taken this one step further: You can reply to incoming questions from within the application itself. And whether or not a question has been answered is synchronized over multiple copies of GarageSale, making this a killer feature for small businesses.

PayPal integration
GarageSale 4 can monitor multiple PayPal accounts for incoming payments. See your accounts history with a single click instead of waiting for PayPal’s web page to load.

Even more auction designs
As if the number of auction themes wasn’t already overwhelming, our design team has been busy adding 8 new ones for GarageSale 4. As usual, each encompasses multiple layouts - actually making it 20 different designs. You can see why we stopped counting the number of possible design variants a long time ago.

For more information please visit the GarageSale homepage.

As with previous versions you’re welcome to try before you buy GarageSale 4: Download GarageSale right now and post three auctions to eBay. If you like what you see you can purchase a license for USD/EUR 29.99. (If you already own a license for GarageSale you can upgrade for just USD/EUR 14.99.)

Will you be attending MacWorld 2008? We’d love to give you a first-hand demonstration of GarageSale’s amazing new features at our booth #2544. Be sure to ask us about the special show offer for MacWorld attendees.

We just released GarageSale 3.4, a highly recommended update for all users already running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (but there is no reason to skip this update for Tiger users, either).

GarageSale 3.4 add support eBay’s new ‘Community Driven’ item specifics system, which lets you add your own attributes to your listing instead of having to stick with the ones eBay’s old system presented you (Manual Link).

We also added to ability to specify deposit settings per auction when selling cars on eBay Motors US. ( Manual Link).

This version also fixes a serious issue with Mac OS X Leopard and GarageSale’s scheduler.

For a complete list of changes, please see GarageSale’s version history.

Again, this update is free no matter where and when you got your GarageSale license. More information is available from the GarageSale website.

We just identified a serious issue with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and GarageSale’s auction
scheduling feature. This issue affects all GarageSale versions prior to today’s GarageSale 3.4
beta 4 release.

When an event is due, GarageSale will post the event’s first auction multiple times to eBay.

Leopard users, who wish to use GarageSale’s auction scheduler, should download
GarageSale 3.4 beta 4 from this link.

Please start your copy of GarageSale to download the newest additions to our ever growing collection of sophisticated auction designs. Design Pack #24 brings you eight new auction designs, which you can preview here. By popular request we also updated three existing designs with layouts that won’t include images in the item description.

Just in time for your Halloween auctions comes our ‘Spooky’ auction design for GarageSale. As a service to our arachnophobic users we made the spider optional. You can turn them off by selecting one of the “No spiders” layouts.

Those of you who sell vintage and antique items might be delighted to see the ‘Vintage Collage’ design included:

All new designs can be previewed here. You can download these new designs through GarageSale’s built-in Design Template Manager.

On the heels of this week’s release of GarageBuy, we are pleased to announce the arrival of GarageSale - version 3.3.

This release adds compatibility with Apple’s upcoming Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (if you are already on a preview version Leopard, please check out our new Quick Look plugin ).

GarageSale 3.3 can now send buyer addresses to Endicia’s Mac client for printing USPS labels with a single click. You can sign up for a free 30 day trial of the Endicia service here.

By popular demand we also added support for specifying eBay’s Giving Works program.

Again, this update is free no matter where and when you got your GarageSale license. More information is available from the GarageSale website.

Fire up your copy of GarageSale to get your hands on eight brand new auction designs included with Design Packs #22 and #23.

As always, each of the new designs contains multiple layouts (some more than 20) that let you choose how images and description are aligned on the auction page. For most of the designs in pack #23 you can choose between different background colors and turn off the theme-specific graphics.

For quite some time we have been selling GarageSale on eBay. At first we did this because we eventually ran out of items we could sell on eBay for testing our software. But much to our surprise there were actually users who refused to buy from other channels than eBay.

Today our eBay feedback score hit the 2000 mark.

You can check out our eBay feeback page here.

Auction Design Pack 21 is now available for download bringing you 4 new designs. Each of those designs offers you more than 20 different layouts to change the way your item description and photos are aligned on the eBay page.

You should see a message about this next time you start up GarageSale, that brings you to the Design Template Manager window. Click on
the ‘Download All New Designs’ toolbar button to install the new design on your mac.

Here is a preview of two of the new designs:

P.S. You might have to restart GarageSale to see new designs in the preview mode. We are working to get this fixed.

For the third year in a row we will be demonstrating GarageSale at eBay Live!. If you are in the Boston area between June 14th and 16th you are more than welcome to visit our booth #234 in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
