CNET Editors' review
AlienFiles wants to help users improve the image of their eBay auctions. With a simple set of tools, users can make their pages look more professional.
This program lets users make a new listing with a simple white and gray page that is lined with tabs for all of the customization options your eBay auction needs. All you do is enter the auction description and standard information into a traditional word processing screen. Images are then easily added with a simple screen that uses a file tree to help download photos. AlienFiles really comes together with its tab for creating banners. You can choose from hundreds of flash banners that present a range of messages from, Awesome Deal! to Bid with Confidence and everything in between. Standout messages that function much like a flash banner can be customized with your own text. In addition, you're given options to add audio and video to your auction page, as well as add feedback, a map or Web sites.
Users must keep in mind that they need to have an auction already established via eBay's Web site to apply their new changes. But by inputting some simple information, this process is incredibly intuitive. From start to finish we were impressed with AlienFiles' ease and simplicity and we recommend this download for any would-be auctioneer.

"Great Program"
Version: AlienFiles 2
Pros
It has a nice wizard that save you a ton of time and take out the guess work of where things are gonna go or be placed.
Cons
Lack of flexibility for font types and sizes. It would be nice to be able to manage more of the colors of the design images. The template is sort of limited.

"No Fuss, Great-Looking Ads"
Version: AlienFiles 2
Pros
One thing that's always stymied me is creating a good-looking eBay ad. I know, eBay has a wizard. But I wanted something with a little more pizzazz, something with pictures.
I tried AlienFiles 2.0, a terrific program that does all the heavy lifting. Besides using wizards to create my ads, it gives me a way to add up to 30 images (a total of 2MB) to my ad without paying eBay's fees. One buyer told me that what sold him was being able to zoom in and out of my images, thanks to AlienFiles. That's a very cool feature.
