New Template from Product Barcode
Use this menu command to switch GarageSale into batch template creation mode which uses your external iSight or FireWire camera to read product barcodes and search corresponding products in eBay's product catalog. Each time a barcode is recognized a catalog search in eBay's product catalog is started. If this search returns a matching product a new auction template is created and linked to the found product.
This menu item is only available in Templates mode. An auction template which is catalog enabled has to be selected in GarageSale before this menu item can be invoked. See Listing with Pre-filled item information for more info about listing items with information from eBay's product catalog.

Import from My eBay
This menu item will display a panel which lets you create GarageSale auction templates by importing your auctions running on eBay right now.
This powerful feature allows you to convert auctions to editable auction templates. Very helpful to recover accidentally deleted templates or to convert auctions that weren't started with GarageSale to auction templates.
(To activate all checkboxes at once just alt-click on one of the checkboxes.)
Linking Auctions with Auction Templates
Once GarageSale has downloaded your auction templates you can 'link' them with your running auctions. This allows you to revise or relist these auctions even if you didn't start them with GarageSale originally.
To do so select the auction template you want to be linked with the auction (1.) and choose the Auctions tab from the inspector (2.). Next drag the desired auction from the AUCTIONS section onto the auctions table in the Inspector (3.).
Then you can revise or relist the auction by using the auction template's data.
Print different views of GarageSale. According to what is marked or where the cursor is placed you can print different information or images. We recommend to use the preview mode to see the result in advance.
