Its confusing for anyone, seller or buyer. And if it confuses buyers, sellers wont use it. I still don't really get how to use it after reading the site and your explanations. Why is there a P vs Q graph? What does paying a fee upfront entitle me to? What is a reservation and what does it give me? I'm a first time consumer, and you've just thrown a complicated buying method at me, with a graph, current price/lowest price, for which I have no clue how to follow. I think it needs to be bared down to the minimal information necessary.

[updated] Isn't it obvious that price drops with quantity? A reservation is a pledge that the customer will purchase the item later. The reservation costs $1-3 depending on where the buyer is, and is paid through a cell phone. By having it be paid, it is simply more reliable. No one wastes money, and these are dissolving costs in the total discount. I believe this is the minimal information. The unit price, the current and the maximum quantity price. What do you think is excess? Thanks for the comment.

  Both your website and your widget must be able to answer these questions within 30 seconds for the most ignorant, distracted user with 3 children trying to climb into their lap. This user might have never bought online before, and if they have - they have no idea what the backend order process looks like. Answering these questions here is only a beginning. If _anyone here_ cannot get your site before getting frustrated, you haven't explained your system well enough yet. Remember, the majority of users (by a huge percentage) are going to see your widget first. Your widget is going to advertise your solution to potential sellers who see it on someone else's website. If _any customer_ gets frustrated at your widget, it is going to get pulled from sites.
