I was just browsing through the marketplace, and thought I`d add some suggestions on how it could be made better.

First, when you are browsing the list of services, it would be helpful to show a summary of ratings for the service, as in 3 out of 5 stars. That would help a browser decide what to click on to read more.

Second, it would also be neat to click a link or button and have a hidden div be revealed with more information about the product / service, instead of having to click to the detail screen, and then realize that there isn`t much more than the summary that was on the listing screen. Maybe even a checkbox where you could collect the listing that you were interested in, and then go through them at a later time.

Thirdly, I noticed one service had 3 suspicious reviews. The reviews were a posted within 3 days of the listing, and when I clicked to visit the profiles of the members that posted the reviews, I discovered that they had never been back to the site since the day that they posted the review. So maybe you might consider flushing old profiles that people haven`t logged into the site in a few months. The reviews in question were posted back in March, so we are going on 5 months here. I feel that if they are not active on the site, their profile should be shutdown.

Also when you post a review, you should be able to edit it, in case you mis-spelled something. Thanks for listening.
