To prepare your products for listing you have to set the values and options in this dialog.

First, enter the name and location of your file, you will need to know this to load your products into Turbolister and so you should use a name and location that you can easily remember. �The file is a csv file and so should end in .csv.

At the moment, shipping will not be transferred to eBay so do not set this up. � This is due to a bug in Turbolister, �we are waiting for this to be resolved.

If only want to pass some products to eBay you can specify an exclude variable in Sellerdeck, this article shows you how to do this, if you want to include them all, leave the check box unticked.
