eBay isn’t just for consumer auctions anymore. Retailers and Distributors are now taking advantage of eBay’s reach (as well as Amazon) to get rid of excess inventory and even reach new markets. eBay has made launching an eBay store, Dutch Auction or even traditional auction a relatively easy endeavor, however without integration, managing items, inventory, sales orders and customers can become chaotic.
Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS) provides retailers with a complete point of sale solution that streamlines operations and increases revenue.

That includes a site like eBay, which can quickly provide expanded reach and increased revenue streams for brick and mortar retailers.
