eBay's Answer to Amazon Fulfillment Centers

Ever since it acquired GSI Commerce, a platform for some of the largest brands and retailers, eBay has been helping enterprise retailers compete with online sellers and marketplaces. Last week, eBay officially announced it was expanding its Enterprise offerings to "mid-market" retailers (that's code for companies not as big as Toys"R"Us, but much bigger than your average eBay seller). This week, eBay Enterprise revealed it was helping brick-and-mortar retailers in a new way — by offering a "ship from store" solution that helps them make their in-store inventory available as online inventory that they can ship right from individual stores.
