Neat and unexpected. Thanks for submitting this to the place where this all began (see: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2406614). This is all super-early of course, but I really do believe there is something neat here.
Gumroad is a huge WIP just like any other startup, so any and all feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!
Some feedback: a way to link to a seller-provided demo/trial from the sales page would be really useful. As a buyer, I appreciate the ability to try before I buy.
Feedback: why not have an option to add a 'secret' POST http variable after purchase? it's not the most secure way but it would stop people from sharing download links.
"The guy who helped bring you Crate, a dead simple file-sharing service, are now testing something called Gumroad, a way to ask folks to pay for downloads."
I'm glad! It was about the product, as it should be! Not about me, any funding, etc. It _should_ be all about the product, that's what will ultimately make or break your company.

I like simple sales platforms too (www.snowday2011.com). Let's collaborate?
