which is less than our previously lowest cost option, the Home and Hobby Edition at $19.99/mon.” “eBay felt it was very important to provide a low cost solution, so we agreed to reduced pricing on the Turbo Lister Edition. “In the future, if their businesses grow, they can easily upgrade to more functionality.” The “Turbo Lister Version of SixBit” contains all of the functionality of Turbo Lister, along with some familiar icons,” Slocum said. With eBay ending support for Turbo Lister, Slocum’s company created a special version of SixBit Software for TurboLister users with a lower price and with a “very gracious trial period.” The entrepreneur created eBay listing software Blackthorne in 1998, and he then sold the tool to eBay and became an employee.Īfter eBay laid him off 10 years later, he developed SixBit, extending the tool to help sellers list not only on eBay, but on rival marketplaces as well.

It’s the latest twist in an unusual history Slocum has with eBay. “eBay wants to make sure the Turbo Lister users have a smooth transition, and we have been working with them for some time to get a process in place,” he said. SixBit Software founder John Slocum confirmed that he has been working with eBay to provide a preferred solution for Turbo Lister, which is a desktop tool that allows sellers to manage their listings offline at no extra cost. EBay is working with a third-party software provider to offer sellers an alternative to Turbo Lister, which eBay will stop supporting in July.
