Some questions about new eBay Partner network - geolocating links and RSS

    Some questions that have presented themselves:

    1) If you try to generate a geolocated keyword search link the only option is JavaScript, it would seem? Can't they sort out the geolocation their end?!

    2) There is some info on the partner network about manually creating keyword search links (or rather, migrating them from CJ - here) but there doesn't yet seem to be a guide to creating RSS links - these still have to be generated through Advanced search, am I right? There are some confusing parameters there, I don't want to mess with that until they explain it properly - does anyone know of a guide?

    3) How are you supposed to get your campaign ID plugged into the appropriate field on the Advanced Search page, when this is a meaningless string of numbers and you have no drop-down list there to choose from your existing campaigns. Surely the only option isn't to write it down on a piece of paper and type it in?! The other option is going to your Campaigns page, copying and pasting into Advanced Search... Pain in the neck... I guess the RSS part hasn't really been brought up to speed yet...

    4) Is there any hint that we will be able to create geotargeted RSS feeds? WITHOUT using Javascript, obviously!

    I am in a bit of a quandary about migrating everything before I have all the info I need, and we don't seem to be getting that at the moment...
