Show HN: FoundationMade – Marketplace for Foundation Themes

Thanks for the feedback! I'll certainly consider pricing based on feedback. One thing I have to account for that I'm assuming ThemeForest, due to their massive sales volume, had less to worry about, are the fees that I have to pay PayPal for each sale in order to allow sales. I'm looking into alternatives to PayPal already as I haven't heard any great stories about them. I did reduce the amount of sales volume required to reach certain percentages compared to ThemeForest, but I can certainly reconsider the table.

Also, to help bring in developers I did make the decision to offer the 70% commission to the first group of themes, and I may consider extending that if need be.

Please support something other than Paypal as soon as possible. Stripe or Balanced are great alternatives. Balanced is actually designed specifically for marketplaces.

I know I'm just one voice of thousands but I personally would not purchase from you due to the Paypal requirement.

The problem I had with starting out with something like Stripe was that especially for my site just starting, I wasn't sure how willing people would be to enter their credit card information, even through something like Stripe. I'm certainly looking to move away from PayPal as soon as I feel I've gained enough trust though.
