Ebay Auction Database Guide - (Filemaker 5.0)

The graphic above shows the generic packing slip (the label is ready to be clipped from the top). This is a generic packing slip that you can modify for your needs (See page 5 for directions).

I find it really annoying to receive eBay items in a plain brown box with absolutely no information about ebay auction number or any name on the outside that you can match to the ebay seller's ad. You end up going to Paypal or where ever to try to match eBay aliases with actual names.

The printed label helps eliminate handwriting problems. The Packing slip that is enclosed in the package will provide your buyers with necessary information. It also gives the post office identification and address for the sender and recipient. (This becomes important if the label on the outside is lost or unreadable and they have to open your package.)

Some of the scripting is mine and the rest is derivative. Experienced Filemaker developers will immediately see beginner mistakes in this database but that's the way it is. As a beginner, I spent some time learning how to write the scripts for this database another couple hours making the layouts look better. This database is not a runtime version, and requires that each user have a copy of FileMaker 5 (or 6). Make a clean backup before using this software. eBay makes changes in the format of its email without notice. This Template will work ONLY as long as eBay continues to send their "End of Auction" <eBay Item Sold> emails in the current format.

This database template is shareware. It may be used freely on a "trial basis" by anyone who finds it of value. If you want to continue using it after four weeks, send $5.00 to the author (it will be appreciated). [ Paypal address => bobh333@comcast.net].

The designation "Shareware" does not mean that you can violate the copyright on the software or redistribute it. This database may not be sold as a single software program or distributed as part of a shareware collection by anyone other than the original author(© R. Hofemann 2004). This shareware notice may not be separated from this html Ebay Database Guide -(Filemaker 5.0).The database and scripts are provided "AS IS," and without any warranty, express or implied, as to fitness for any particular purpose.
