#2but eBay is a de-centralized model, that's why it worked, no? Or am i missing something?
I love the idea that the product can be embedded anywhere, and that's certainly going to help, but i'm not sure specifically if that helps me enough regards finding the right exposure for my product? What if my online presence is limited?
Also, i noticed there was no option to embed in an email? Or would i not even need that?

By decentralized I'm referring not to marketplaces, but the idea that products can be shared and put up for sale anywhere. Its about not always needing to go to a central url, whether that be a marketplace (ebay) or a storefront. Its the idea that you want to put your product in front of the people that matter, and make it easy for others to do the same. If your online presence is very limited you'll face a lot of the same challenges of anyone starting a store on another platform like magento, or Bigcommerce, but you'll have the advantage of being able to share your product easily...not to mention try it out without spending time and money.
There isn't an embed in email option yet. You could easily share a link via, but at this point we haven't built out a system for exporting the image version of your product widget into an email, seeing as our iFrames of course wouldn't work for emails.
Hope this helps, would love to hear more of your feedback!

It's a interesting concept. I do see your reasoning behind this.
What has your adoption rate been like so far?
I'm thinking about people who struggle with eBay accounts or worry about having to deal with something like Magento. As a user experience, it would make life much easier for them, but what if they have a limited online presence? If they dont have many FB friends or twitter followers, will it not limit their exposure? and if so, how could they increase their exposure?
I know a few sellers who love amazon and eBay because of the amount of eyes it puts their products infront of. How does your product solve that problem?
I'd love to hear back from you.
