A number of solutions providing this valuable feature are available in the PC world, but, to the best of my knowledge, aren't available to us. I hope some of you can tell me I'm misinformed. . . Many blessings, stanton Stanton, You can schedule them to begin whenever you want but eBay charges a small fee for that ability if you list them through the website on the spot. With eBay software, you can prepare the auction listings ahead of time and then have them automatically upload when you're ready. This is great when the 10 cent sales roll around like the one tomorrow on eBay.ca. I think Garagesale does this - I just learned about it from another member here when we were talking about this Mac/Safari problem. Take care, Amber ******** Dear Amber, The last time I checked with eBay I was told their software which could provide the ability to store a seller's listings prepared all week long, to all go live on a designated day and time was a feature only available to those accessing with their site with Windows platform browsers/computers. I was further told that they were unaware of any software which could provide this enhancement for Macintosh users. Further, when I visited the Apple store in Emeryville, CA in October, for the express purpose of finding such a program, I consulted with the Mac Geniuses there, who suggested iSale and GarageSale. When I looked at the package of the one carried by the store (iSale, I believe) and also read reviews the Geniuses referred me to of both of these packages on-line while I was in the store, I ended up returning the iSale to the shelf, and not seeking to acquire GarageSale either, since neither seemed to be able to ably do what I'm describing- at least without dramatically limiting the content you could include in your postings. I believe the limitation which most discouraged me here was not being able to have more than perhaps three or four rather small photographs per posting, if my memory serves me correctly. Bottom line is that I went home and got myself a used PC (which I'm beginning to learn to use) just simply (but importantly) to acquire the ability to have my ads all begin and end at the one time each week which I feel is most advantageous to me. Again, I'm hoping the information I gathered then was wrong, or that this shortcoming to the Mac eBay applications I mentioned here have now been augmented to provide this feature.
