I hadn't seen Auctiva yet, so I followed your url there. I clicked on a couple of the pictures to see the auctions, and while the pages loaded to the point where I could see the "place bid" area, the page never did load all the way, and it is the Auctiva link that is not finishing.
I wonder, how does eBay feel about this type of linking? Anyone?

I fallowed the link too and I look in some show cases and clicked link the new browser opened up and loaded just fine for me but when I tried to register as a user with a secure link all I can get is a error message.
looks to be a great way to have you ebay yahoo and amazon auctions all in one place it not a manager service so it dont compete with AW at all you dont launch auction or store you photo there every time you launch new auction from where ever they auto up date your show case or store there.
This is a great subsistute for anyone who wanted to make a website with all there Items but just can never find the time to do it or learn how.
people cant buy directly though they click a link to the auction site the item is on to make the bid.
thing is they ask for you user names and passwords for your auction and there secure link is out of order I didnt bother trying the nonsecure link i have never had a problem with people getting my passwords but why chance it.

My personal gut is that eBay will not challenge this type of linking. Many of the people who will use it will be selling only on eBay anyway and since the service is specifically set up by each seller, ebay would have to go after the sellers to stop it.
To draw an analogy, it would be like eBay NARU'ing the bidders/buyers who use auctionwatch or biddersedge search-engines to find their items.
Bottom line, I don't think they would go after their sellers for using this tool ... although I suspect they'd rather sellers pay them a quarter for gallery items and do all their business on eBay.
Of course that is based on the premise that eBay operates logically.
