I'm not sure how much I should post about other programs on Auctiva's boards. But there is at least one mac-based program you can use. It's not free like TL is. www.iwascoding.com (sorry auctiva!)
Is there any particular reason you're not wanting to use Auctiva? You can schedule your listings in the lister if you wanted.
In my experience, the Mac-based programs aren't very good when it comes to customization (e.g., custom templates). Of course, neither is TL. Blackthorne (another PC program) is pretty versatile. But, then again, it's not free and it's PC only.
As far as I've been able to find, Auctiva is the only lister that even comes close to Blackthorne and you're able to use it with a Mac. You can use custom templates, you've got free scheduling and image hosting, and you get a Store Window that shows the other items you have for sale. Those are just a few of the things you get and they're all free.
So...if there's a specific reason you're wanting to use something else, I'm wondering if Auctiva doesn't already do it. Why pay for something when you don't have to?

Yeah, it sounds like Turbo Lister is the problem here..
GMS,
I have been using Auctiva specifically because they have been so great to MAC people. Ebay does not support MAC in any way. They wont even give MAC users a second thought when it comes to designing their software programs. I just thought there might be a program to use that I could store listings and then do a bulk upload to Ebay. Auctiva, I believe will be doing a bulk listing someday. I have alot of confidence in Auctiva and knowing that they take pride in helping everybody, PC & MAC.

Gotcha... I think I read somewhere that the bulk listing would be avaiable in the future, but you're right. It's not yet.
One of the better apps for Macs is GarageSale. As those apps go, it's relatively inexpensive...$25. The developer has also been pretty good about incorporating features requested by the users. Very responsive.
I would suggest staying away from Marketblast though. It's $100 and the developers have made it so complicated that it's almost impossible to figure out how to configure it.
