Thanks. I'm really excited about building a native iOS app for our site and it's one of our important milestones.
TBH i think the email method mentioned up-thread is more awesome, but wtf do i know. you could do that more quickly, it would seem to me.
It is very cool though, I am loving the interface of it.
Brilliant. 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.
To me this seems to hit the same market as Etsy. People who spend their time creating things, selling one-off items, are just going online so that they can put it on a business card, ect would use something like this. I showed this to a girl who I was just talking to about putting her stuff on Etsy, she likes this FAR more, but the only thing she wanted was to use her own domain.
I clicked on "Now click here!" and it gave me the shopping cart, then I click on "List" to edit it, and it showed the text box again. Once I click "Save", then it doesn't show the iPhone. If I click on "List again to edit it, it still does show it. It is very cool though, I am loving the interface of it.
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.
This might be the case. We're going to do lots of user testing to see what issues typical users have with it. If we detect the user is making a lot of mistakes, we'll fall back to showing them a traditional form with fields.

Maybe you could use an excel like table as well if the textarea makes a lot trouble. (I like it though..) Nice job!

Changing the order of items is trivial, you can copy and paste stuff, it's easy to email the whole thing to someone for review (say, before publishing)... That's for the typical user. For geeks there's more: it's easy to keep archives of old versions, easy to see what's changed, trivial to backup... text IS powerful.
