Kansas City, KS (June 24, 2004) – LaGarde, provider of market-leading StoreFront® e-business solutions (www.storefront.net), today unveiled powerful new tools that allow StoreFront web merchants to easily manage listings on eBay, The World’s Online Marketplace®. LaGarde will showcase the new functionality to an audience of thousands of eBay Live! attendees this week in New Orleans.

StoreFront’s listing tools allow small and medium-sized online merchants to expand their selling channels on eBay without having to add to operational overhead. From a single set of management tools, merchants can now maintain their entire product inventory and post selected items to eBay. Buyers checkout through the merchant’s StoreFront web store, which offers sophisticated shopper features, including account management, address book and shipment tracking. All orders are managed through one interface for efficient order fulfillment.

“The ability to reach millions of eBay members represents a tremendous opportunity for StoreFront merchants,” said Bob LaGarde, CEO and Founder of LaGarde. “And the value of integrated sales management for new and existing multi-channel sellers is equally compelling. Building and managing online sales channels is a critical factor in a merchant’s success. Extending the StoreFront suite of e-business solutions to include tools to easily sell items on eBay empowers merchants to realize the full potential of their e-business investment.”

The eBay integration tools are currently available as an add-on to LaGarde’s award winning StoreFront e-commerce software. LaGarde is truly a full service solution, offering a wide range of professional services, such as site design and product merchandising, to help merchants quickly and easily launch their e-business operations. Hosting, payments and other related products and services are also available.
