Great idea - seems like the sort of thing that would come out of a hackathon and take home some prizes! I'm so going to set up a LinkedIn autoresponder to point those irritating recruiters to a $5 link to download my CV.

@farpixel that's brilliant. Would love to hear how many recruiters take you up on your offer!

Great idea. Really useful to be able to sell single files quickly. Two questions: 1. Any plans for an API or ability to pass parameters? Would be nice if a seller could bulk create transactions or be able to generate the links to put on their website as "pay now" buttons. 2. What's the cost? The terms says "Dropshop reserves the right to take a 10% commision". Does this mean each transaction is 10% or is there some parameter that qualifies for that commission? 10% seems a bit much considering that the seller would still pay the paypal or stripe fee. Overall, solid idea.

@xcast3d Hi Xavier, firs one: good idea. At the moment it doesn't have much of a priority but it could be something to think of in the future. Second one: At the moment the 10% commissions includes everything from to the paypal or stripe fee to our transaction fee.

Looks great, simple and easy. Would maybe suggest having the terms on the main page as an FAQ, as I was looking for those answers and I see terms and expect pages of legal terms. Can see a lot of use for this product and there is no excuse for anyone who wants to start selling:)

@robertwilliger Thanks for the feedback! The site not having a FAQ was also sort of an experiment, we tried to strip this service down to the bare bare minimum that it would need to function while also being self explanatory. Selling a file on the internet should never cost more than 3 clicks!

Look back

I went back to PH comments to see what the site was really about. "Get money" doesnt really tell me how I'll get money :) Nice service though, I like it. @kayvink @robertwilliger

Really Nice product to hunt, if you can provide a protection for the buyer more and a simple dashboard that would be AWESOME ! What about the payout time ? you pay via Paypal ? can you add Wester union ? that going to be a killer feature for people who don't use paypal !

Thanks for hunting @bramk! Together with @samuelbeek and @kayvink, we thought it’d be cool to build this little tool called Dropshop at The Next Web hackathon – where we won the 1st prize! We aim at making it super easy for you to make money selling your files (currently through Dropbox). Simply select a file, set your price and we’ll generate a safe and secure payment URL for you to share with your network. Use cases include selling your brilliant college notes, presentations or any work of artistic value :)

@dnmjd Very cool idea. Any plans to offer pricing in USD and other currencies?

@dnmjd looks like a really well executed (and simple!) service. What do you think your primary advantage is over other platforms (like Gumroad, Paddle, etc..)? As a seller, why would I choose this over other options?

@mijustin Thanks! I'd say ease of use – as a seller you're just seconds away from selling your file(s) versus other platforms requiring you (and sometimes your buyers) to set up an account etc.
