Update*: You can see the whole purchase process in this tutorial…
saurik: @TekkDave The Cydia Store will support PayPal, but not until next week: initially I’m using Amazon Payments. (Many people want/need PayPal.)
saurik: >@micaheljcaboose Yeah, when I say “late” I really mean it: while it /is/ technically Saturday here I tend to say I live on Japanese time. ;P
saurik: @Iphonegig While I doubt most themes will be charged for I know a few large design houses wanted to do really professional themes for money.
saurik: @hotcereal If this isn’t released in another hour and a half (5AM PST) I’m going to be super sad. Really, I want even much sooner than that.
saurik: @blued888 No, I suck :(. I am still working on it, and it’s even after 5AM. I am trying to move everything to production, and ran into pain.
saurik: @fusenuk The first package I am selling is DRM-free. I intend to work with the existing commercial applications to handle their current DRM.
saurik: @stewling This is an upgrade to Cydia, both client and website, to support payment processing. This actually /helps/ the case against Apple.
saurik: @blackforce I just rushed the completion of Google Login support (I was just going with Facebook) as too many people hate Facebook. 
Soon!
saurik: @DoGudSound This release is actually going to support both. When I release comments/ratings the non-Facebook experience will be non-awesome.
saurik: @Steaps Comments and ratings will be out soon: I just want to think through scalability one more time (I don’t want it to kill payments ;P).
saurik: @Jglaus The Cydia Store is a feature of the new Cydia. If you don’t have Cydia yet, you will need to use QuickPwn. http://tinyurl.com/7wkmt2
saurik: @PwnZone I have a schedule set for the first few weeks, in order of difficulty, as I add features. After that, users will be able to submit.
saurik: @geowarrior I am going to work on PayPal support for next week. (I did Amazon first as PayPal has a worse experience and is more expensive.)
