How does this work for art though? I mean you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it. Also - once you've been redirected to the page, what's to stop you taking the link and sharing it yourself? Also also: if I've got something to sell, can't I just bung it on ebay?

I'd like to think that this has lower overhead than eBay. Nothing is there to stop you for now - I think this is more for casual use than building an entire business on top of. Yes, I'm thinking about adding in a preview option with cluttering up the experience.

Thought of this too, I guess you can watermark images. Not sure how you would sell JS scripts since showing a working demo would require the file to be accessible to the user.

  That script you make is copyrighted, if they take it without paying you for it (if that is the deal), then they just broke the law.

    Sure, but the question is how to make it more difficult.

Come on, if you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it obviously the seller can show you a smaller/low-res/watermarked/whatevered version. The second question has been answered. This is a completely different model than ebay. These are really bad questions. I'm not putting you down - its no big deal, but just a little critical thought should answer these for you. Cheers,

I've included it below. >How does this work for art though? I mean you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it. This is also answered by the original comment. "There have been many times in the past where I wanted to share a link - on Twitter or just through IM with a few friends - but did not want to go through the overhead of setting up a whole store." The seller will be sharing a link with a person who they have a seller/buyer relationship with. The product in question is the last step in a process that the seller has complete control over. No more of this. Cheers,

Right - and putting something up for sale on ebay and sending people the link is different... how?
