I've gotten used to this new way of creating an auction since it came out a while back. When Vendio changed the category part to be the first part of the auction creation. I list alot of the same type of thing ("type" meaning same category and subcategory not duplicate item)...instead of going back through the process of selecting a category can you just put a button at the bottom of the page (where it says your item has launched) that allows you to just create another auction using the same selection as the previous one? That button could say "Duplicate Category" and then I would be taken directly to the listing page where I enter my title, description, photos, etc. The only button there now is "back to control panel". There used to also be a button there that said "create a new auction". It seems redundant and time-consuming to go back and choose the same exact category and its subcategories. What do you think?
If we use the same category over and over, you may store this information in your site specifics preferences data (to be found in MyAcct). Doing so, the creat new listing page will prefill the category with the one selected as your preference.

But I don't use the same category every single time I create an auction. I have different items and don't want to list the same kind of thing all the time. What I was suggesting is that I have the choice from day to day, from auction to auction. I may list the same type of thing one day (4 auctions using the same category for example) but the next day I may list 1 auction that is in a different category and then another that is in a totally different category and then the day after go back to the one I use the most. Why can't a button be added at the bottom of that page next to the "back to control panel" button to accomodate this (the duplicate category option)?
