Reviewer: Leila Cocker,
I am a hobby eBay seller and I love to get rid of old stuff every now and then. Since I use iSale to create and manage my auctions, it is even a bit more fun, because it is so easy with iSale. This program helps me to easily enter all needed information and even lets me pimp my auction with a template that fits the product.
A pinboard style overview holds all my auctions (including the current bid price, the actual sold price and event information if the product was not sold).
The best thing: With the family edition you've got 5 licenses, so you can use it one up to 5 Macs. I've installed isale on my Laptop as well as my iMac. Wonderful.
The new release (4.1) is excellent!

This is great software from a great group - iSale is easy to use, very powerful & very 'Mac' like, which is terrific. It has all the features that I can think of - if you're truly a 'powerseller' maybe this doesn't have everything you need, I don't know. If you're a regular joe looking to make selling things on eBay easier and slicker - this is the software for you!
Wonderful program - but very restrictive activated license!

iSale is a wonderful, must have application if you list items on eBay on a regular basis. Its integration with Mac OS X technologies is terrific. It uses my iPhoto library or iSight for my auction images. Plus, it can automatically upload photos to your .Mac account. It will automatically convert styled RTF text into HTML. Pretty slick!
BUT -- and this is a big but -- this product must be activated over the internet. And the license code is node locked to one specific machine. So you will not be able to install a copy on your laptop and your home computer unless you buy two copies! That's a pretty shoddy way to treat customers (since almost all other software allows two installs -- especially in this price range). Nowhere in the product packaging is this activating scheme mentioned -- only buried deep within their website.
Check out the shareware GarageSale if you find the license too restrictive.

Oh sigh. We want to like it, we really did.

You'd think there'd be a wonderful program that did it all for the Mac ebay seller. One that helped you list auctions, deal with customers, manage feedback and fees and backend accounting. Oh wait. there was one. It was called A.I.D. and it was lovely. And ebay gave all the companies that were trying to develop such applications such a hardtime they couldn't keep up. And they stopped making it. Hence, very few programs attempt to become Mac programs for sellers, the total package that mac sellers need. The two big contenders are Isale and Garagesale. Both have the looks allowing you to customise templates and offer rich text format. Both offer their own perks, including integration with iphoto, dashboard widgets and the like. But Both stop short of getting your auction on Ebay. Sure Isale says you can track feedback and the like, what they mean is clicking a radiobox to say you've left feedback (GarageSale does the same).
Both Isale and Garage Sale offer trial versions of their products. I used both for the allowed - three auctions (each). And on the last auction , i had a problem. I e-mailed Isale, twice. NO RESPONSE. So i tried GarageSale. Not only did they respond the next day, GarageSale has a yahoo group where software users can discuss their issues, the group is moderated by the lead programmer. When it came down to it, GarageSale Vs. Isale, GarageSale won out. Sure, it's a little less "pretty" than Isale. But for $15 less and a running support group (still waiting for that Isale to return my e-mail from last month). I knew which company i wanted to have my money. Hopefully GarageSale or another clever company will find a way to integrate all that post-auction/backend stuff that neither company seems to address... Until then its GarageSale, an Excel spreadsheet and a good e-mail program.
