#22This is terrific . Some small comments: * When I click on "checkout", a few things are not clear: how much is shipping (seems to be free?), how long will shipping take, etc. * I put something with an "&" in the title into my shopping cart. On the PayPal landing page, it turns into &. Also, the item description is "shopid: x, itemid: y", which is not very helpful, especially if it's two months from now and I'm try…
Cheers for the feedback, these are all things we need to think about and your suggestions for the cart are spot on.
In terms of shipping, we stripped it down in the seller config to just postage is included in prices, with a dropdown to specify where you shipping to. We'll sort out options for postage prices by item/ by order later on.

#23this is very cool! i love it. Suggested feature: Automatically find a suitable image for the item via google and have it uploaded by default.

#24This is slick. My mom could figure this out in less than a minute. Amazing.

#25Ahhhhh this makes me sad because I've had something very close to this idea months ago and have been slowly picking away at it. Great job though.

#26You 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.

#29I think you have something interesting here. Elegance and simplicity are far more important than previously thought. Clearly this is part of the legacy left by Steve Jobs. Fantastically engineered products wrapped in beautiful design. Elegance and simplicity...it just works.
So now Steve Jobs gets credit for everything well-done? :)
Instead, I will give credit to the two guys who made such an easy-to-use service. Good job on this!

You should still do it This is a big world, and there is lots of space for people to take different whacks at similar ideas.
