We will be launching http://goodsie.com in November, though it's been in development for over a year now because of various fits and starts!
HN will work as a code for anyone who would like to try the beta :)

Is there a reason why you can't charge less than $20 a month? I was hoping to set up a small shop for a friend, but they'll probably only have $80-$100 per month in revenue to start out with, so it would probably make more sense for them to go with an eBay store or something similar.
Any practical tips on getting pre-launch buzz?
For Flavors.me, we were super lucky to get a fantastic bunch of creatives and influencers to try our beta, largely through personal connections. Just before we launched, I emailed every big blog like TechCrunch and we were able to get a ton of high quality coverage.
Only now are we just starting to work with a PR firm, so it can definitely be done by pounding the pavement.
I'd love to setup something similar in the near future. I'm sure I'll be seeing big things from your group!
