I own a online retail business. We sell on eBay but also sell on our own web site that's being developed. We basically buy from suppliers and sell over the phone, in some cases direct to customer in person, and mostly online through our website running CRE Loaded (OS Commerce based).
My question: I used Quickbooks Pro 2006 in the past and still do using Parallels now that I have a Mac. I'm doing everything to convert over to Mac programs and there's a few things I don't like with Quickbooks. The simple solution may be Quickbooks 2007 for Mac. I don't mind if I have to reenter data if the solution is a better program but is it as limited as some people say it is? Also, I've heard of MYOB AccountEdge. Is that good? Are there other accounting/bookkeeping programs I should look at?
Issues that are important to me are things like invoices, inventory, and basic record keeping of bank accounts.

Either QuickBooks or MYOB AccountEdge will perform the tasks you outlined. Evaluating software using trial versions might be your best bet, if you have the time to invest in tinkering with the software packages. You can get a trial version of QuickBooks here: Try QuickBooks 2007

and you can get a trial version of AccountEdge here: MYOB Accounting Software for Small Business

If you don't have time to fully evalutate each software package, it may be in your best interests to stick with Quickbooks, and crossgrade to the Mac version- at least until you have time to evaluate competitors in the field.

Good luck.
