open source alternative to TurboLister...
...named jAOLT as in Java Auction Organisation and Listing Tool.
It's a java-based application that actually works like TurboLister for the "offline" listing software and like Auctiva for the token acceptance thing.
I just discovered it today and find it really interesting. First because for the moment, it totally fits my needs : i'm a international seller, and it supports just almost ALL eBay sites (including mine, France). And on top of that, when you launch the software, you can choose seperate sessions for each account (so there is no connection to ebay or anything as long as you don't load a session).
Then when you launch a session for the first time, it asks you to enter your ebay login and then launches ebay through your default browser (and for me it's great cause i'm using proxies, so i can log on to ebay w/o being caught) and you have to accept the token / link to your ebay account.
Regarding the software in itself, it's quite basic. I mean, it's got all the features needed, but the interface is just really simple, no 3D or Web 2.0 flashy designs. Seems a lil bit like a standard Java/C++ code development software actually :P
But it's pretty fast (importing active listings from one of my account took like 3 seconds TOP) and working.
I couldn't use Auctiva, since i only list on ebay.fr, which is not supported by Auctiva. So i suggest any international seller outside US giving it a try but also just everyone to check it out. jaolt - Google Code |
