I don’t understand about the buying part being integrated though…I tried looking at a few different pieces, and while I saw prices and shipping info, etc, listed, I didn’t see any way to actually purchase items.

And as far as PayPal goes, through Etsy the PayPal system is pretty integrated. I’ve bought multiple things recently via Etsy using PayPal and it’s been super simple. Plus I typically prefer to use PayPal for online purchases because I feel safe using it and I don’t need to pull out my wallet or type out my credit card number.

It looks like your site is pretty new though, right? I’ll definitely try to keep an eye on it and see how things develop. Best of luck!

I stumbled upon your post here and wondered if you know about the MyArtPlot (MAP) community and movement.

Its an art and crafts market venue like what you’re used to… but it has a very dynamic and functional social backend that serves as an addictive art/craft community. So buyers and sellers get to know each other really well before they buyer or sell. Its more friendly and more effective.

Check it out at http://www.myartplot.com or demo at http://kimjackson.myartplot.com

The cool thing about MAP is that its buying and selling function is fully integrated without people bothering with PayPal etc.
