OverviewWhat's NewFeaturesDownloadsPricingSupportReviews

GarageSale 9 introduces new unique features and support for eBay newest API. See below an overview over the most important changes. GarageSale 9 is ready for macOS Sequoia and runs natively on Macs with Apple Silicon chip. Notes About Synching: If you are using the Mac-to-Mac synching feature of GarageSale Pro, please note that GarageSale 9.9 uses an updated data schema, which older versions of GarageSale cannot handle. Therefore, make sure to update GarageSale on all your Macs.

Support for New eBay API

GarageSale 9 comes with a major overhaul of the underlaying network connectivity to support the new eBay API that will replace the current, deprecated API for attribute and category data.
Also, since January 2023, eBay requires third-party clients to cryptographically sign certain API requests. GarageSale 9 has been adapted to these new requirements.
New in GarageSale 9.8: Switched to a new eBay API for product search as the older one was deprecated.

Attach Videos to Your Listings

Improve your listings and provide extra information for your buyers by attaching a video! GarageSale supports this new eBay feature where you first upload videos to eBay so you can then add them to your listings. An added video is automatically displayed in the image gallery of the live listing in the eBay app and the mobile browser.

Send Discount Offers to Watchers

When watchers show interest in your product but have not yet purchased it, you can target them with an offer. To do this select Send Offer to Watchers from GarageSale's Listing menu.

Check the new "Send Offer" flag in the "Status" inspector in Live view if a listing qualifies for the "Send Offer" option. Also, you can use the new smart group rule "Can Send Offer to Watchers" to create a smart group that highlights all qualified listings.

Tags for Listings and Orders

Highlight specific listings and orders by assigning colored tags to them. To do this select one or multiple items, then click on the Tag button in the toolbar. Choose between 9 vivid tag colors. You can filter for these tags using smart groups.

Updated in GarageSale 9.9 Run Custom JavaScript to Process Listings

GarageSale lets you define custom JavaScript to process your listings and inventory items, e.g. to batch-edit or validate them. Since these scripts are executed within GarageSale itself, they offer far better performance than AppleScript.
You can create and run scripts from the "Show Script Editor Window" command in the "Windows" menu. In addition you can can hook your own JavaScript rules into GarageSale's Launch Control window to have your listings validated before uploading them to eBay.

Basic support for accessing orders via JavaScript has been added in GarageSale 9.8.
New in GarageSale 9.9: Product persons and documents can be accessed via JavaScript.

Customizable Toolbar

You can easily customize GarageSale's toolbar by right-clicking on it and selecting "Customize Toolbar". This allows you to change the position of buttons, add buttons or remove buttons you rarely use.

SKU Generator

The new SKU generator function for listings and inventory objects allows you to generate SKUs for multiple selected items in bulk. Just right-click on a group or a selection of items and select the Generate SKUs command.

Resizable Inspector

The Inspector where all main settings are located is now resizable. This allows you to adjust its width which makes it easier to see even longer category titles, product names and other details.

Flag Messages

By right-clicking on a message in GarageSale's Account window you can mark it as flagged/unflagged and as read/unread. The state will be transmitted to (and from) eBay.

User Properties for Inventory Items

"User Properties" are a way to store values associated with your items but so far they have been only available for listings. In GarageSale 9.1, you can enter them for your inventory items, too!

These user properties will be carried over to the listings you link the inventory item with. Also, when you change a user property in an inventory item, the change is reflected in all listings linked to that inventory item.

In Listing mode User Properties are searchable and can be used in smart groups. Please learn more about User Properties in the GarageSale help.

"Apply Remaining Quantities" Button for Variations

In previous versions of GarageSale, when you wanted to update the quantity of your variations, you needed to pay attention to not re-set your variations to their original quantities.
Now there is a button to the variations panel, which updates your listing's variations with the current quantity left on eBay. Use that button before making any changes to your variation quantities, to make sure your next "Revise Listing" command produces the expected results.

Increased Maximum Image Count

The maximum image count for eBay hosted images has been increased from 12 to 24 images/listing.
For GarageSale's picture service the maximum image count has been increased to 30 images/listing.

If you need to add even more listings to your item description: GarageSale Pro supports up to 50 images/listing with GarageSale's picture service selected.

"Use Profiles" Checkbox

The Listing inspector now offers a single checkbox for toggling eBay "Business Policies/Profiles" for Payments, Shipping, and Returns at once. If you want to use profiles, just tick the checkbox, then select the desired profiles for Payments, Shipping, and Returns.

Please find more info about profiles in the chapter eBay's Business Policies.

Refreshed Preview Mode

  • Modernized: The Preview mode now better mimics the current eBay website, giving you a better idea of what your uploaded listing will look like.
  • Cleaned up UI: Unused options no longer clutter the view. Addable options and controls are revealed as you move the mouse over the Preview.
  • Profiles: You can now select profiles for Payments/Shipping/Returns directly from within the Preview. (If the new "Use Profiles" checkbox in the Inspector is selected.)
  • Improved image gallery: Now displays up to 24 images and offers a new "Quick Zoom" feature that lets you quickly inspect your photos.
  • Editable attributes: Item specifics can now directly be edited in Preview mode.
  • To make the changeover easier for you, see the chapter Introducing The New Preview Mode for more details.

Edit Item Specifics Directly in Preview Mode

Item specifics can now be edited directly in the Preview Mode interface. Easily add, select, enter, or remove attributes.

New Photo Browser

On macOS 13, GarageSales uses the system's new and improved media browser window, which provides quicker and more comprehensive integration with the Photos app.

Images can be added to a listing via drag & drop or just by using the "Add" button in the bottom right corner.
(Requires macOS 13 Ventura)

Hint: When using the "Add" button in the new image picker, the added photos are sorted by the order they were selected! (unfortunately does not apply to drag & drop)

Selective Launch

Even if some listings received errors during verification, you can now continue with the "good" listings that didn't receive errors. Previously, Launch Control would block the launch process for all selected listings if any of the listings received an error.

Trading Card Conditions

GarageSale now supports eBay's new grading system for trading cards, letting you choose between Graded or Ungraded conditions in certain trading card categories. The Condition Type can be defined, as well (Professional Grader, Grade, Certification Number).

Please note: In case you don't see the new condition options immediately, just update the eBay category manually by clicking on the first gear icon in the category panel.

Improved Product Integration

The listing process in categories that make heavy use of eBay's product catalog, e.g. book categories, has been improved. In particular, GarageSale no longer ask users to enter "required" attributes, when these attributes are already part of the selected product and therefore would be displayed on the eBay page automatically.

These changes in detail are:
  • When checking the "Include additional information" box in the Product panel:
    1. GarageSale won't show an error when required attributes are missing
    2. GarageSale won't automatically add required attributes into new listings when your insertion preference is set to "Insert required attributes"
    3. GarageSale lets you remove "required" attributes
  • An "Assign Attributes" checkbox has been added to the Products panel, which adds pre-defined attributes from eBay's product catalog into your listing automatically. (Unfortunately, eBay does not provide many important attributes, such as a book titles and authors through their API.)

Basic Cross Promotion

You can now add a "cross-promote" link to your item description that links to one (or more) of your other running GarageSale listings.
Just use the new "Insert Link to Listing" command from the action button at the bottom of Editor Mode. This opens a little panel that helps you selecting another listing and putting the link in your item description. The placeholder link will be displayed in your description something like this: {{linkToListing_Listing_Name}}

GarageSale will automatically replace this command with an actual link to the linked listing when uploading your listing to eBay. (You can press the control and option keys simultaneously in Preview Mode to see how the link will look like when uploaded to eBay.)

ebay Avatar Profile Images

Instead of showing a generic profile image next to your eBay account name, GarageSale can now show your eBay avatar image if you have already added one on the eBay profile page.

(Click on "Update Account Details" in the GarageSale preferences > Accounts after you have edited your profile image on the eBay website.)

Smarter Smart Groups

Smart Groups can now be duplicated. This is helpful if, for example, you have created complex smart groups with many filter rules and want to create another smart group based on these rules. Instead of creating a new, blank smart group from scratch, you just duplicate your smart group and then edit the duplicated one.
You find the "Duplicate Smart Group" command in the context menu when right-clicking on it.

Also, you no longer can delete a smart group by accident! We added a warning that appears when trying to delete a smart group.

There is more:
• We have added a new "Days Since Start" smart group rule for listings. This allows you to e.g. reduce the price if the listing hasn't been sold for a certain amount of time after it was started.
• Also added a new "Days Since Order Received" smart group rule for orders
• "Start Time" has been added as sorting option for listing smart groups and "Order Date" as sorting option for order smart groups.

New in GarageSale 9.7Search & Filter

  • Search results are now displayed hierarchically, showing the names of their enclosing groups.
  • There is a new "Filter by Title" field at the bottom-left. The new filter field bypasses the search index, and performs a literal, case-insensitive string search. It will find patterns of special characters and numbers, which you might not have been able to find using the index based search function. It can also be used to further narrow results obtained by using the regular search function.
  • When switching between modes (listings, orders, inventory items), the content of the search and filter fields is restored.

New in GarageSale 9.8Find Combined Orders

GarageSale now can find orders that have been combined into new orders on the eBay website, and moves those (no longer needed) orders into the trash. You find the new "Find Combined Orders" command in the "Order" menu.
In addition there is an optional toolbar icon for the that new command available.

New in GarageSale 9.9Product Safety (GPSR)

GarageSale Pro supports the new General Product Safety Regulation that applies to sellers who deliver items to the EU, UK or Northern Ireland.

You find the new "Product Safety" settings in GarageSale's Options Inspector. Use it to add the requested product safety information such as product documents, manufacturer names, pictograms and safety statements.
