FileMaker staff will demonstrate how FileMaker Pro 8.5, the
award-winning database software, works with a variety of eBay
applications, and how to use eBay File Exchange with FileMaker Pro
to more effectively run a successful business on eBay.
“By using FileMaker Pro with eBay File Exchange or
integrating it with other eBay applications, millions of eBay
sellers can spend more time on the strategic parts of their
business rather than getting buried under the details of running
their business,” said Ann Monroe, Product Marketing
Manager, FileMaker. “FileMaker helps business owners
efficiently manage all their business data with a single
application that can track contacts, customers, inventory, product
sales information, marketing, procurement, invoicing, shipping,
customer service, employee data and other key business
information.”
Flexible, Easy-to-Use and Customizable
FileMaker Pro, which runs on Windows, Macintosh, Palm and
Microsoft Mobile platforms, provides business owners with an
easy-to-use business application that can be quickly customized to
match their business operations, whether they are using eBay as
their primary store or as an additional sales channel. FileMaker
solutions can also be easily modified as a business grows or
changes its goals. All of a business’ data can be
accessed from FileMaker, whether the information resides in a
database or on the Web.
There are three primary ways that businesses can use FileMaker Pro
with their eBay store:
• If a FileMaker Pro
database is being used within a business, FileMaker data can be
exchanged with other specialized third-party eBay applications.
• If the entire business
is being managed by FileMaker Pro, data can be transferred to eBay
using eBay File Exchange.
• Active businesses on
eBay can also consider building customized FileMaker solutions that
connect directly to eBay’s web services, eliminating the
need to export and import data.
FileMaker Pro 8.5 contains a variety of ready-to-use built-in
Starter Solutions. The company’s Business
Productivity Kit, a set of six pre-designed business solutions, is
available for free download along with a 30-day free trial of
FileMaker Pro 8.5 at

Magazine and PC Magazine. FileMaker Pro was a 2007 Codie Award
finalist in the “Best Database Management
Solution” category by the Software Information Industry
Association.
