The application developers at Vendio are some of the best I have ever seen, and I am a programmer myself. They are able to think outside the box and get things done. I have no doubt they can handle this task when it is placed before them.
The question is, will Vendio let their resources go towards this project or are they too busy with their current projects.
Vendio will definitely be the ultimate total E-bay auction service when they support the stores. They are the ultimate service now, but only for part of E-bay. Stores are a growing part of E-bays business, and a growing part of mine. I am looking forward to bringing together my E-bay Store with Vendio Auction Management. I am going crazy trying to manually patch this together to make it semi-functional until Vendio Steps up to make the connection.
We have already been told Vendio plans to make an effort in the direction of supporting E-Bay Stores.
It would be nice to hear from Vendio when they plan on having programmers working on this functionality.
Instead, we are left looking day by day for any clue, or for a sign that Stores are more than just a passing interest.
If it is being worked on, for a July 4th release like someone has suggested, it would be nice to know.

There are two things to consider:
A) Vendio wants you to use THEIR stores, not eBays. It isn't in their best interests to support eBay stores.
B) With the future goings-on at Half.com, eBay stores may not be around forever anyway. The new Half.com stores could be a potential replacement of eBay stores, which have never been especially successful for eBay.

Common sense tells me that VD is not going to support Ebay Stores. Cuts into their piece of the pie. Ebay will cut out VD soon, unless they can cut a deal for a win-win situation. The writing is on the wall, Ebay offers the same service as VD, listing, tacking, after auction, hmma, hmma, hmma.
