I’ve received several questions about auction management/listing services recently.

I’ve been using Inkfrog for some time now, but here are a lot of options available to sellers and I’ve only used a small number of them. I’d be interested to hear what you use and what you would recommend to others.

Do you use a full service auction management service? If so who do you use? If not, who do you use to create auction listings, image hosting, etc? What do you like and dislike about who you use?

I’ve been using MarketWorks as a listing/auction management service for a lot of years without any problems. Then, within a nine month period, they inadvertently deleted all my images from their database. The second time it happened I began looking at other services that provided the features I needed.

Over the last few months I’ve registered with several management services for their free trails. I never got to the point of actually listing an auction with any of them because once I got into the actual day-to-day workings of each, none of them offered all the features I viewed as ‘must-haves’.

Then two weeks ago I decided to take a look at InkFrog. After poking around it’s insides for a week I didn’t find any of the drawbacks that all the others had, so I decided to take them for a test drive.

I used InkFrog for the twenty-six items that are currently live on eBay and for twenty-one more that will go live later today. I won’t get a ‘real time’ look at how InkFrog handles after-auction duties until later tonight, but if no problems pop up tonight, I will definitely be using InkFrog on a full-time basis.
