Thanks, Amazon FPS seems to be exactly what I want, but I don't think it has UK merchant support. I am hesitant about the whole "escrow" system because that can introduce a lot of …

Hi, I'm toying with an idea which involves your standard "directory" type commerce site where you aggregate sellers (e.g. different restaurants) and let them receive their own paym…

Hi, I just registered a new .it (TLD for Italy) domain name for my startup - incidentally, works great with a verb (stuff.it, eat.it etc). However, the registration process was mor…

I've seen quite a few similar concepts out there, but I think your functional but cool domain name is one that I would easily remember over the rest. I really don't get why startup…

In my experience, there is a placebo in this delusional sense of elitism that galvanises your belief in being able to achieve literally anything. At your disposal are unrivalled re…

Thank you, and I completely agree if I was aiming to be the next eBay execution would be absolutely paramount. However, my (working) prototype is inherently novel and specific to t…

Hi, Newbie here. I've spun off my university project into a web prototype that I want to launch eventually, and I've submitted it in the current YC batch. I'm pretty good with it s…
