At the 2004 eBay Developer Conference, ChannelAdvisor, the leading provider of enterprise solutions for online marketplaces, announced it received an eBay Star Developer Award for the second consecutive year. This year's recognition is for "Service to the Community," an award which recognizes individuals who work hand-in-hand with the eBay Developer Program team to improve offerings and assist fellow members.

The eBay Star Developer Awards are presented annually to recognize the talent and dedication of members of the eBay Developers Program. At this year's awards ceremony, eBay also awarded eBay developers for their accomplishments in the categories of "Early Adopter" and "Innovator."

"ChannelAdvisor has become one of our best examples setting a high standard in delivering quality and service to its customers," said Randy Ching, vice president of platform solutions for eBay. "ChannelAdvisor is one of the first participants of the eBay Developers Program. As an influential member of the Developers Program, ChannelAdvisor rapidly adopts new features, reacts quickly and effectively to platform changes, provides productive feedback."

The ChannelAdvisor Technology Platform is designed to support the strategies of the largest sellers on online marketplaces, incorporating best practices developed and refined by ChannelAdvisor during the successful posting and closing of millions of successful marketplace transactions. In addition, it is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing business systems, including inventory databases, accounting systems and shipping systems. The ChannelAdvisor software is designed to help top eBay sellers sell more products for higher return and, at the same time, reduce their costs. The highly intuitive user interface and modular architecture make it easy to learn and use.

The eBay Developer Conference brings together members of the eBay and PayPal developers' communities, eBay and PayPal staffers, e-commerce experts and exhibitors for two days of stimulating discussion and activities. Attendees learn about the latest development tools and technologies for eBay and PayPal, which will enable them to create software solutions that automate and accelerate business processes, and create greater efficiencies for buying and selling on the eBay and PayPal platforms.

"ChannelAdvisor strives to be the best software provider and adapts rapidly to the newest eBay features and changes," says Aris Buinevicius, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of ChannelAdvisor. "This award validates our ongoing software development, and represents ChannelAdvisor's leadership in developing technology and marketplace management software for individuals, small businesses and large corporations."
