You might consider using the placeholder tag for the textarea so I don't have to remove the text to enter my own (or at least a graceful fallback version). On click, you could simply put the same text in a notice below the textarea for usage reference.
Cute, I like it. One thought: although the text area is cool for us geeks, what value does it add for the typical user over a more structured data entry approach? I think the text area leaves too many ways for the user to make mistakes.
If we detect the user is making a lot of mistakes, we'll fall back to showing them a traditional form with fields.

You should pre-populate the images with stock photos found on google images. That's copyright infringement. Just because they're available on Google Images doesn't mean you can use them on your own site.
You can ping Google images for images filtered by licenses.
You 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.

awesome love the concept, but breaks if you use £ instead of $ :(

You can just link to the image on the original site. No distribution means no copyright infringement. Rude yes, illegal no.
I wouldn't be so sure: http://news.cnet.com/2100-1030_3-6145744.html
A few notes:
- When I click on an item thumbnail on your sample list page, it takes me directly to the image hosted on S3. Having the image appear in a lightbox would ensure that users are kept on the page.
- The title tag for every page reads "List of Things for Sale". I would populate the title tag with the name of the user (e.g. "Matthias McGregor's List of Things for Sale")
- Add FB/Twitter/Email to Friend links, which would provide three one-click marketing channels for users to share their for-sale items with their immediate network.
- Populate the page with Facebook Open Graph metadata. That way if users want to post a link to their store on Facebook, they'll get a nice link description and thumbnail automatically.
- I like the single-page experience, but I can't help wondering if it would be better if the app would generate discrete pages for each item users are selling. This might make it easier for users to share each item discretely, instead of just point people towards a single store page.
Really nice work!

- We've debated the pros and cons of lightboxes for a while now. We don't like them and prefer to see the image without chrome, but our users may feel differently. We'll soon see!
- Excellent point. I'm really looking forward to making loads of little tweaks like this.
- Yep, totally agree - it's coming.
- Thanks for the tip. It will be done!
- Item pages are on our list of things to do, although it's another tension between minimalism and e-commerce.
