As BJ said you will need to approach the opentaps forum for more specific help.
In general OFBiz terms seed data is just the basics for types and such, it will not provide a fully functional catalog/ecommerce/facility management system etc. The best approach is to take all the "demo" xml files and go through them one at a time and modify/duplicate them and remove the contents to suit your needs. You'll learn a lot about the data structures and relationships and it's quite easy to decide on removing some data i.e. <Product ..../> is obviously a product you may not want where as you will need to load some catalogue payment types to get check out working. If you export your existing database to individual entity named xml files you can also quickly compare what you may not have set up when looking through the demo xml files.
