One of the most effective ways to speed up posting items with TradeSkillMaster is setting it up so you can hold Ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel back and forth to quickly post your auctions.

Head past the jump for short video tutorial as well as written instructions on how to set up scrollwheel posting.
