Just a quick usability issue I noticed: The numbers in the Gross (Amount?) column are only differentiated by their color. Red-green colorblindness is pretty common, so it may be hard for colorblind users to distinguish between the two. Adding a minus sign before negative amounts would probably help a lot for them.

So true, I am red-green colorblind and I didn't notice the difference until I read your comment, they look almost the same to me.

My PP homepage and Bruce's PP homepage look really different — it almost looks like PP went through a redesign process while he were doing his redesign, and came to similar conclusions!

Yes, they're rolling out a new design right now. I have to say it's much better than before!

Not to be too harsh, but the final design looks like a rushed Bootstrap prototype. I like many of the decisions made and agree with others here who think the navigation needs some love, but it just feels like every other flat, blue site I've seen.

This reminds me of the PayPal mobile application, both in terms of organization and information priority. Both this concept and the mobile app headline account balance, simplify actions to four items, and allow the transaction log to make up the body of the content.

Look-and-feel aside, I think this concept aligns with the intent to bring parity between the mobile experience and desktop. I do worry, however, that the use cases for the desktop application may differ (particularly for bigger sellers) from the mobile, and this flow may fall apart for them.
