Hey, I have some questions as a potential seller. I signed up and added some details about the options I have from my employer. There is a general lack of info about what I can do on the site. The "sell" action has some scary language that makes it sound like I need to immediately commit to selling a specific number of shares at a specific price before getting any more information. Would I need to pay any fees? Does demand exist for my shares, and at what price? Do I need to exercise my options before listing my shares? Is there any way I can find this information out before my shares vest? Do I need to actually sell my shares, which might alert my employer, or is it some kind of arrangement that gets around that? This might affect my decision for how long to stay with my employer.

I don't mean these questions to be critical, if this service works it could turn a source of frustrating uncertainty into cash.

I think my mistake was making an account without looking at the FAQ first. I don't see any way to get to it from the logged-in UI.
