One of the Issues with the Mac version of FMP is that it saves to Mac style files which are incompatible with Ebay's File Exchange.

There is a relatively simple work around that takes an extra step and there is more involved process necessitating some terminal work
that lets you convert the upload file as you generate it.

The simplest solution to setup  is to use an  online version.  Link

Installing Flip
Installing flip entails downloading the   flip  file then  unziping it.
The easiest way I have found to install it entails creating it's own directory / folder in
your home folder. Adding that folder to you your path and then using chmod (chmod +x ~/path/to/folder flip is in/flip) to make  (~ starts  you at your user  home folder.)
the application to be executable. BTW I renamed the application just plain flip to make it easier to call.
Inside of FMP12 I use applescript to call the external application to convert the file after I output it as a CSV file.
The FMP Template is available at this link.
