Export auction data to CSV file...

Select this menu item to export the auction data (e.g. buyer address, item number, and listing fee) into a CSV (comma separated value) text file. You can import this file into a database application such as FileMaker Pro or a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel.


Archive Auction Web Page

GarageSale can archive web pages of ended auctions which mitigates eBay's 60 day expiration period. Sometimes it is necessary to take a look at an old auction page long after it has finished, e.g. to resolves disputes with buyers. Unfortunately, eBay doesn't archive the web pages of your archived auctions forever.

You can disable the option to automatically archive auctions in the General preferences section and invoke the archive command manually from the Auction menu.

Show auction in web browser

Show Buyer Location in Google Maps...

If Tracking is enabled and the buyer address appears in the Inspector > Transactions you can choose this command to see the buyer location in Google Maps.
