> If you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it obviously... But that's the whole point. There's nothing that allows a seller to do this at the mo. > The second question has been answered. Sure, after my post. The answer to which seems to be "there isn't". So a valid question. > This is a completely different model to ebay. Perhaps from the platform's perspective, not from the sellers. The motivation is to enable someone to quickly put up an item for sale. I can pretty damn quickly put up a single item for sale on ebay too.

I can pretty damn quickly put up a single item for sale on ebay too. You are completely wrong. The model is entirely different from the seller's perspective. See the author's original comment. 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?
