Not really related to the product idea (there've been a raft of gumroad-type services launching lately), but has anyone else noticed the absolute explosion in blurred background images in designs these days? I swear the vast majority of new startup landing pages involve a highly blurred background of some kind.

Seems like we get a site like this every few days. Are they making crazy money or is there some other reason everyones is making one? Are they just really easy to make? Maybe because payment process disruption has occurred? What's up?

My 0.02c: you should change the name. If you already have to append "(kout)" to explain it to hackers, it will be 10x more difficult marketing it to a larger crowd. Or you can start printing stickers that read "you know, without the 'k'" ;-)
Apart from this, great design!

TL;DR Use UTF for Seller's name.
Looks like a bit better Gumroad. Design is nice, blah blah blah. Why I'm writing is this: when activating account what the hell is supposed to be Seller's Name?
This annoying popup keeps telling me "Must contain only letters, numbers, or - ( ) , . ' &". I must say I haven't seen many names with numbers or ampersands in it. If it's meant to be a username, than ok but say it specifically. If it's really meant to be a name - it's 2013 for Ozzie's sake, use the damn UTF.

Who is your competitor? PayPal, Gumroad, Shopify, Stripe, Square?
How would Chec work for the following cases:
* A non-profit selling shirts to raise funds.
* A freelancer charging for his work. Essentially, a money transfer.
* A SaaS style service charging $5 a month.
* Charging for a PSD.

It'd be cool if there was some option to post stuff to Craigslist or auto-format copy/markup for Craigslist, but that's just me asking for my own Pony. I like the look and ease of listing stuff.

Love your site design - great use of whitespace and big, bold images! It would be nice to see a sample of a cart/page before signing up so you know what your "shop" will look like..

Congrats on the launch - looks cool.
Do you support withdrawal of funds to non-US bank accounts?
Can't see this in the FAQ.
Likewise there don't seem to be any limitations on seller location. Are there any?

Just an FYI, your layout has about 10% white space on the right hand side when viewed on iPad mini. Caused by the card fan lower down the page.

It says that you handle physical products and delivery. How do you do this? Or do you just offer delivery for digital item sales?

This is really great. Perfect for things like Craigslist. Think you video could be a lot better. Keep up the awesome work, though.

It doesn't seem to work. I created product, but when I click "Secure Checkout" button on product page nothing happens.

What is longtail ecommerce?

Is there a way to order more than one product at a time?

How do you handle charge backs and fraud?
