Correct. This way the results appear on my site, and doesn't redirect the user to eBay. I'm trying to get data feeds from other ticket sellers, so I can do a comparison. It is my opinion (and you know what opinions are like
) that if a visitor can compare the prices of 3 or 4 different sellers on one site, they are more likely to purchase at that time, than if you one have one. With only one site's prices, they are more likely to keep looking for the best price, and after they have comparison shopped long enough, then they'll buy. So, I want to eliminate the user having to go elsewhere to compare prices.
Oh yeah, back to the API, the code for it was taken from eBay's sample code. Saved me a ton of time. I just edited it slightly, tested it in the sandbox, tested it live, found out I needed to enable domxlst in my server, did that, and it's good. Oh yeah, and the call to LiquidWeb's tech support to learn how to enable that part of PHP took a whopping 7 mins 19 secs
I love LiquidWeb!
