  6. Upon completion of the profile, the user will be given the option to import from any of the available sources such as eBay, Blackthorne, Turbo Lister CSV files, or bidStart.  The wait time will depend upon the user's internet connection speed and the number of items being imported.

  7. Once all downloads have been performed, the Main window will open.  It is highly recommended that the user View the Getting Started Video by clicking the link under the To Do List of the sidebar on the left side of the Dashboard.
