We're looking for good examples of sticky signup processes. Asking users for the 'fun' info and sneaking in the necessary nuts, blots, and email confirmation later seems like a good way to go. Thoughts? Examples?

Ah yes, that does clarify things. We've helped our buyers write their first listings, so that's probably why they look similar. The steps that buyers go through prompt them for specific data points that help them create complete listings,
