Just started with Auctiva after using Turbo Lister for a while. I don't quite understand the relationship (if any) between the two. I do know Turbo saves a lot of headaches in keeping track of listings, sold or unsold, and haven't quite determined if Auctiva can do the same. My question is..how (or even is it necessary) can both be used without creating a monster?

I use Auctiva because of the image hosting. Many of my items for sale benefit from multiple images, saving me tremendous amounts in listing fees. Just one example is a diary which comes in two styles - one with puppies and one with kittens. Because I can load pictures of both diaries, and allow the buyer to choose either from one listing, I save 90p every ten days. Times 200+ listings, it's a lot of money!

To do the same thing on turbolister would cost loads because of the image hosting fees.

To keep track of listings, I use Selling manager Pro within eBay, which costs under £6 per month - I save many times that by using Auctiva, and the two systems together keep my organisation very simple.
