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?
