For the past two years we’ve been pouring our hearts and souls into an entirely new version of GarageSale for OS X. It’s called GarageSale 7, and it will make managing your eBay business from your Mac easier and more pleasant than ever.

Testing in Progress

Before the final release of GarageSale 7 (sometime in the next few weeks), we’re looking for more feedback from testers on Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) or Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) to try it out.

If you have a few minutes to spare, please give GarageSale 7 a try. Your GarageSale 6 installation will not be altered by trying out GarageSale 7.

You can download the latest beta version from this link:

(This beta version is localized in English, German, Italian, and French.)

If you have comments, suggestions, or questions please post them to our user group (English preferred) or contact us in private (English or German).
