FIE ON YOU, TURBOLISTER

valis2I use TurboLister to list my stuff for eBay. In TL, I have two users, one for my regular business, one for clothing.
The clothing listings are pretty complicated. I wanted to do a set of clothing auctions while![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
subrosax was here, but it just didn't happen because they take too much time. I have to take measurements and put together each listing very carefully and there are a lot of values to enter and pictures to coordinate.
So today I spent two hours preparing clothing listings for tonight. I was excited because I finished the listings early, which means I can catch up on other stuff. I needed to switch users briefly so I could list something on Etsy. It asked me if I wanted to backup. Well, yeah, I just did that new work and it's been a few weeks, so yes.
It flashes a message: "There was a problem with the backup." I hit okay (the only option). It asks me which user I'd like to log on as. I click on the clothing user.
IT DISPLAYS NO ITEMS.
There were 200+ listings stored in it, mostly older auctions, which are still useful because I can use them as templates for new auctions. THERE ARE NONE NOW. It wiped everything. It even wiped my organizational folders (skirts, pants, tank tops, etc.).
I restored from an older backup, but of course it doesn't have today's work in it.
And now I don't have enough time to list unless I want to work like a crazy person. I am so disgusted right now. If there is anything I detest in the world, it's having to do the same work twice. It makes me want to smash things.
