It looks like a personal shopping cart with gateways to whatever merchant accounts they want.

It's a unique setup, it looks like they had it built.

They cater to eBay sellers, you can try to contact them about it.

I did this for a while.
I used a .jpeg that linked back to my shopping cart with whatever the auction widget was already selected.
The .jpeg was just text, a picture of a PP and Google Checkout buy it now button.
I made the .jpeg background match the background of my auction.
It looked like I had the PP & Google Checkout buttons in my ad.

It worked really well for a while then eBay caught on and I got slapped with the NARU stick.

Ouuuch..How did you get caught?

I was reffering to the sytem they have where it looks up auction details and whatnot..
eBay allows that(for now)

They NARUed me for sending buyers off eBay to purchase items.
They called it "Fee Avoidance"

It's good to hear that you got away with it for a while.

Can you recall how many auctions you had it on and for what period of time?

I ran it for about 2 months on a few different accounts..... maybe 500+ auctions?
