birddog, I do remember that discussion with RobsHelp and we were talking about the API at the time. As you correctly remember, the API didn't pull up categories.
My example is not automatic.
It only provides flexibility.
In the example, the user would create a table of buttons and links hosted by the program. Every week or so, the user could update the table instead of going through and editing every auction. Of course, this could easily be automated if the facility were there.
I was considering hosting this sort of redirection tool, but the page impressions could become pretty heavy if used by lots of sellers with lots of links per page. I have no idea what kind of load that would present. And, since my server is guaranteed to go down for a day or two every year, it can't be used for anything but add-on gimicks.
However, I do have a working proof of concept and am at the programming point where I need to look at password login to prevent accidental access across accounts.
