Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's a cool concept and you could go a lot of directions with it. My main feedback is that I don't know which step to take next. I see 6 links in the yellow bar ... be a little more deliberate/forceful in directing me on what to do next. Not that you asked, but here's some wacky/random ideas off the top of my head: - Do Stripe checkout in addition to PayPal (ask for Stripe API key & secret over SSL) - Provision a Twi…

My main feedback is that I don't know which step to take next. I see 6 links in the yellow bar ... be a little more deliberate/forceful in directing me on what to do next. I agree with this one. There's already a "Now Click Here" button at the start. I'd suggest extending that concept to successive pages until the seller has filled in whatever info you think most pages should have. Sidebar and config come to mind as…

Thanks, this is a great point and is borne out by the stats. Last night we saw 83% hitting the "Now Click Here" button but far far less taking it beyond that. We're talking about a consistent "what to do next" element now.

MVP for YC'12 application. We've been heads down on this for a month now so it seemed like the right time to gather some feedback!

Allow me to remove one item at a time from the cart instead of emptying whole cart at once. Great job!

Good point, we'll sort that. Thanks

I found a glitch while creating my store. I couldn't add more than one item, even when I copied and pasted your code from the front page (sample) directly. http://listofthingsforsale.com/pleasereturnme

Thanks for letting us know, looking into it now.

How about letting the user change language? If you have some interface or something I could help with Swedish. I really can't wait for this to be more complete (+Quantity is what I am referring to)

Also I have a bug. If I write "iPhone 3GS $70" it does not show. If I add a description it shows.

Thanks for the offer, that would be superb! There's not contact details in your profile, so if you fancy droping me a message at matthias@listofthingsforsale.com we could talk more about this. Additional languages and currencies will be great for this site - we can geo-locate users when possible switch to the right one. Really looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers for the bug report too, we'll get that sorted.

How about costumizeable row/column-sizes?

There is an interesting balance between keeping the interface very simple and giving pro users the flexibility they require. Possibly in the future we could find a way to make it skinnable (ie upload custom css) without losing simplicity, but we'd be very wary of overcomplicating things.
