I'm not sure if you have (or intend) to support people with a lot of products, but I'd be interested to see how it works if you have 50 products vs. 500 vs. 5000. It would be nice to get group reporting (like every color of a T-shirt combined, all my mugs, etc. Ideally with tags instead of categories so you can cross-report).
For the box that shows a random service, I'd recommend just making it sequential. When it randomly comes back to a service I've seen before, I assume that I've seen all the services. For example, I got: YouTube, Tumblr, YouTube, YouTube, Twitter
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it :D - It's now sequential! (yay~) We also modified it slightly to (hopefully) make the idea "you can sell _anything_ on _anything_" clearer. Any thoughts?
Is this only for people who don't have a product order form yet, or is there a way for us to benefit from using you too?
It's for anyone who wants to sell a product on a social network like Facebook, Twitter, etc., whether you have an online store already or not. It's not great to share a link to your online store on social networks because then your customers have to go through the entire checkout flow incl. putting the item into the shopping cart, going to the shopping cart, clicking on checkout, creating an account or not, ... even though all they want to do is buy one specific item quickly and easily. With CropUp you can sell individual products via a very streamlined checkout flow, that works great regardless of the social network or the customer's device (mobile, tablet, desktop).
Excellent idea! Waiting for digital goods selling / purchase notification API. But.. if you give money to sellers with PayPal, you're paying PayPal fee?
Hey I'm curious as to what you mean by a purchase notification API? Would you imagine something like a pub/sub system or something that you would ping?
Your design overall is really nice. Me thinks this is either becoming a crowded space or there's just a lot of people doing similar projects for fun because the payment part is much easier (I did http://bngal.com as a side project for example). BIG QUESTION: why PayPal for disbursing funds? With Stripe and BalancedPayments as options, I'm not sure why you'd use PayPal (other than possibly international reach).
(I do product at CropUp.) Good question. PayPal was the easiest to use, for now, and works well. We'll likely add additional payout options, but no concrete plans or timing just yet.
Nice job with Cropup!
I like it. But 10% seems a little high - I'd at least have reduced percentages for volume.

We have some interesting ideas for what we can do with pricing in the future, like based on volume or product price or maybe we introduce a premium account that comes with a monthly fee, but lower fees per transaction. Still thinking about these.
For now we think 10% is a fair price given the value and the functionalities our product provides, e.g. calculating taxes based on the seller's nexus states and the buyer's shipping address. Also, the seller is only charged a fee in case of a successful order, but not e.g. in case of a refund, which is different from other services like e.g. PayPal. (And different means better here, we think.)
Cool! This is a pretty crowded space but your site looks great. My one criticism is that the pricing is pretty hidden. That's the first thing I look for before signing up for something like this. It's especially important in this case because the service is supposed to help users make money, so they will really want to know how much they can make. Don't be ashamed that you take a cut for providing an awesome service!
You're right, we need to make pricing more visible.
