Come on, if you want to see the icon/graphic/design/whatever before you pay for it obviously the seller can show you a smaller/low-res/watermarked/whatevered version.
The second question has been answered.
This is a completely different model than ebay.
These are really bad questions. I'm not putting you down - its no big deal, but just a little critical thought should answer these for you.

But that's the whole point. There's nothing that allows a seller to do this at the mo.

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.

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.

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.

Right - and putting something up for sale on ebay and sending people the link is different... how?
