We are proud to announce that we have been qualified by eBay to join their Certified Provider Program.

Being a Certified Provider means that we were able to demonstrate a certain level of expertise and experience in the eBay’s technologies and marketplace. And that wasn’t easy to accomplish.

Not only are we the first company with a Mac desktop application to be allowed in the Certified Provider Program – we are also the first non-US based company carrying this title.

We’d like to thank all GarageSale users who made this possible with their testimonials and success stories.

GarageBuy 1.6 is out and brings automatic iCal synchronization to your eBay watch list.

Once enabled in preferences, GarageBuy will create an iCal event for every item you add to your watch list. This event will show up on every mobile device you are synching your calendar to, thus giving you a notification when your watched auction is about to end – no matter where you are. For iPhone users with a MobileMe account these events will synch seamlessly over the air.

GarageBuy 1.6 also adds a set of interface elements to enable or disable the iCal settings for individual auctions. You can also associate a price threshold with every watch list item with the option to remove it once the threshold is reached.

We also gave the watch list icons a complete make over to reflect GarageBuy’s new options:

(This overview is also available from GarageBuy’s help menu.)

All of GarageSale’s 136 multi-layout auction designs now support eBay’s new ‘View Item’ page, which will be rolled out to most buyers in mid-June. Every single design was tweaked to ensure your items look perfect after eBay switches to the new design in all major web browsers.

We also updated GarageSale’s built-in editor to match eBay’s redesigned interface. You can see it in action in our updated GarageSale Basics Tutorial.

Also new is support for Twitter. GarageSale can now automatically update your Twitter status when you post items to eBay.

You can see what people are selling with GarageSale by searching Twitter for the #garagesale hashtag.

The new version automatically archives web pages of ended auctions. You can still view your items after eBay’s 60 day expiration period.

When revising running auctions, you can now choose which parts of your auctions to revise. This gives you you the chance to revise parts of your auction when eBay’s policy forbids updating the whole auction.

The complete release notes are available at the GarageSale wiki.

GarageSale 5.3 is a free update to all registered user of version 4 or 5. Updates from version 3 are available at USD 14.99 from Kagi.
