I'm gonna let it stay :P Mark, re the designs, to be honest I really *wasn't* looking for clever design, the functionality that Frooition offer was the one and only reason which convinced me to upgrade from a standard eBay template. Quite honestly (sorry but I've got to say this) I detest the look of most Frooition shops, and am not too keen on the examples that you gave either. If I was looking for a website it may be a different matter, but my brief to Frooition was to trim down their design. I asked them to cut all the backgrounds and heavy graphics that most of their clients appear to like, and to make it as eBay like as possible. (BTW, on your shops there's <a href="http://www.tamebay.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/espshop.jpg" rel="nofollow">-a strange page that displays whenever a category is clicked</a> before the main shop reloads - it doesn't show in IE, just in Firefox.)

Noemi, it's had to accurately judge the sales of two independent eBay accounts (one with Frooition and one without). The fairest test is a before and after on an established account. Frooition have a software update coming soon which addresses your comments and a lot more! The image hosting is not compulsory (you can add external URL's) and is slightly cheaper than eBay.
