#33Great stuff, only problem: I couldn't figure out how I GET money from customers

#34You might want to mention that users can drag and drop images as well... that was a nice surprise.

#35Brilliant. Needs a mobile app that lets me take a pic then post it as a listing. Then I'd spend an afternoon clicking pictures of everything in my attic.

#36MVP 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!
In general:
* ebay - big, bloated, complicated, high shipping costs
* craigslist - too scammy/spammy
* shopify - considered it, but seems overly complex for non-geeks
* etsy - what we were going to try next

#38You should pre-populate the images with stock photos found on google images. Removes one more barrier if I'm going to use stock photos anyway. (Obviously clearly mark it as "stock photo", still make it easy to upload my own). This is really cool by the way.
A stock photo might introduce more problems than it solves. The user might not realize that they can easily change it, it might be slightly irritating if the image is 'wrong', and they'd have to find a set of images that are free/cheap and safe for commercial use.

#39This is fantastic. Nice and simple, and it does exactly what I want it to as a seller. Great job!!!!! Be careful about feature creep. The reason why Craiglist works is because it doesn't try to do too much. I think this can definitely have a similar sort of success given how freaking easy it is to use!
