Different countries and eBay web sites - but the same problems using Turbo Lister....

... links for success

Turbo Lister is not a "stand alone" program. Several Microsoft system components are used - and your TL will run into problems  if these components are not  in perfect working condition. This applies also if you DO NOT encounter any other problems an your computer.

troubleshooting - installation

Fix-TL is used to delete all the entries in the registry, which are referring to the setup program named MSI-Installer. Sometimes it is necessary to clear these entries otherwise an installation like error XXXX may occur.

Do you run Windows 98 - First Edition?
If the number of the version: regsvr32.exe (windows\system) is smaller than 5.00.1641.1 some DLLs used by TL may not be proper registered with windows - install this patch to fix the problem.

useful tips....

Save your listings...

How to do:

• First: Check in Advanced Options where you store your pictures.
  Tools > Options > Advanced Options > Turbo Lister Options > EPS Picture storage
  There are two options:

  • In database
  • extern

  extern is set by default
  
  
• save a backup copy of the user000.mdb file - located in the Turbo Lister\Data-folder (if there are more than one member using the TL there are also user001.mdb, user 002.mdb etc.) This file contains your listings included are your pictures if you store them in your database.
  If your pictures are stored extern you will find a folder user000 too - your pictures are in this folder.
  You should save file and folder periodically (CD-RW) - this allows to preserve your data in case of a reinstallation of TL or corrupted database.
  
  
• use the backup function that is build in TL since version 1.9. This function is easy to use - but there is some risk if your database is corrupt.You won`t realize this if you are working with TL - but the backup process will stop copying the data. This will result in either no backup file - or worse: an overwritten good backup copy. If you use this feature it is highly recommended that you use some kind of version control like renaming the original files. Using this feature you will get a username.tla and a username.img - both located in a folder."Turbo Lister Backup" by default.
  
  
• export/ import as CSV - this is a pure text backup and you will loose your pictures if they are stored in your database. Lost of pictures is normal with CSV, because the pictures are stored in binary format and can not be exportet as text. If your pictures are stored extern there is a link to the pictures in CSV. In case of a corrupt database this may be the last chance to save your descriptions and to import in a new database.
  To save as CSV is no good solution for longer periods because eBay changes datafields frequently - maybe you will get some error messages if you try to import an older version of CSV in TL.

If these links don fix your problem you should post your TL.LOG to the board. It is a text file - located in the Turbo Lister-folder (maybe .log is not shown). Use notepad to open -> copy&paste.

Award from German "mich-seiten.de"

For this site - and all the work of I2TLF-team

Wieder einmal ist es an der Zeit den mich-Seiten-Award nicht nur wegen des Designs oder aus technischen Grden zu verleihen - es ist diesmal mehr als angebracht den Award f den fantastischen Service f die eBay-Community zu vergeben!

Wenn man sich in den entsprechenden eBay-Foren zum Thema "Turbolister" (TL ) umsieht, dann merkt man sehr schnell, dass viele User durchaus einige "Problemchen" mit dieser Software haben (knen)! Es ist es gut zu wissen, dass man als gestresster User nicht nur auf den eBay-Support bauen muss! Es ist toll, dass es hilfsbereite User gibt, die private Zeit opfern und ihr Wissen zu Verfung stellen, um anderen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite zu stehen!

Wir wollen nun gar nicht grortig einzeln auf die vielen verschiedenen Hilfeseiten eingehen, die von "terrenal" in's Leben gerufen wurden - nur so viel: Es gibt natlich eine mich-Seite, ein internationales Forum zum Thema TL und auch noch eine private Homepage, die auch mit weiteren Hilfen zu anderen eBay-Problemchen aufwartet! Dazu kommt noch "erschwerend", dass durchweg alle Seiten einheitlich gestaltet, sehr ersichtlich sind und ein wirklich gutes Design haben. Fazit: Wir mhten uns mit dem mich-Seiten-Award im Monat April 2006 im Namen aller eBay-User f den tollen Service und die viele Zeit bedanken, die in all diesen Seiten zu sehen ist!

Gut zu wissen, dass es solche eBay-User gibt! :-)
