SAN MATEO, CA, June 17, 2009 — Vendio Services, Inc. today announced that its popular eBay market research service, Vendio Research, was named the runner up for Most Innovative application in the 2009 eBay Star Developer awards.

Each year, eBay recognizes developers and organizations from the eBay Certified Providers and Developers Program honoring tools and companies that contribute to improving user experience and customer service, increasing platform engagement and extending eBay in exciting new directions.

This is the third time Vendio has received an eBay Star Developer award.

Vendio Research was originally conceived even before eBay provided sales data to enable more efficient trading on their marketplace. We are happy to receive this recognition for the continued innovation we bring to our analytics offerings alongside eBay's own expansion of their data license program. We look forward to implementing even more new ideas that can put Vendio on top in 2010! —Mike Effle, EVP eCommerce Platform

Vendio Research utilizes the eBay API to mine and archive data from thousands of closed eBay listings. The application enables sellers to conduct market research of the eBay marketplace and get product or category data related to success rates, pricing, listing best practices, and competitors, helping sellers plan better merchandising strategies and increase their profitability.

Recently added features to the Vendio Research application during the past year include:

• eBay Motors Data — vehicles and automotive accessories data is available exclusively through Vendio Research.
• Competitive Seller Data — Vendio Research enables sellers to search for any eBay seller to see how they price items and view success rates.
• "Smart Research" Data Clustering — Intelligently classifies product results into like-categories or clusters, providing the most accurate data possible for a given product search. For example, in a search for iPod, the results won't be mixed with data from iPod accessories.
