eBay announced it would make available an enhanced version of ProStores on October 10. eBay launched ProStores earlier this year at its annual eBay Live conference. The service allows eBay sellers and other small- to medium-sized businesses to create a customized ecommerce storefront independent of the eBay marketplace.

The new upgrades in ProStores 6.0 include increased integration with eBay, enhanced inventory-management capabilities, and expanded shopping-cart options. The upgrade includes extensive tips to help merchants improve their store's position in search-engine results. Every ProStores site will be upgraded automatically, without charge, when version 6.0 is released.

The new improvements apply to all four available tiers of ProStores, from the basic ten-item Express store to the Business, Advanced and Enterprise stores, with unlimited product inventory.

Inventory management is now available in all four available tiers of ProStores, including the Express and Business tiers. The ProStores solution, which launched in June 2005, initially offered inventory management for Advanced and Enterprise tiers only.
