Over the last couple of years I've used AuctionWatch, Andale, and now Auctionworks, and I would say Auctionworks is head and shoulders above the others. Andale was good but they implemented some new programs about six months ago and became nothing but a giant headache. Their customer service department is non-existent. Although I haven't used Auctionwatch in some time, they're having some problems lately and I wouldn't want to jump in there at the present time. I've been using Auctionworks for about eight months now and have nothing but good things to say about them. Their customer service department has a 20-30 minute e-mail turn around time. If you call their 800 number it's even faster. Cost wise, they're cheaper than either of the others. When I switched to them from Andale my monthly bill was cut in half. I list 60-80 items a week and my monthly cost with Auctionworks runs about $25. Well worth it for all the automated time saving features they provide. If I'm not mistaken, I believe they have a free trial period. When you sign up with them a customer service rep calls you and sets up an appointment for a telephone training session on their dime. I realize this sounds like an ad, but I'm just totally in love with these guys. I have no affiliate or business relation with them. From my perspective as someone who makes the majority of his income from eBay I wouldn't use anyone else. Enough of the raving. The real key is to find a program you're comfortable with and stick with it. Gary Hendrickson ----------------------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that amateurs built the Ark.
