eBay File Exchange is a new selling tool that enables medium to high-volume sellers to list on eBay by submitting a single file and to receive sales status information in a standard flat file format. eBay File Exchange allows sellers to interact directly with eBay through a comma-separated, semicolon-delimited, or tab-delimited flat file that can be created from an MS Excel spreadsheet, MS Access, or other inventory software.
