Thanks for the bug report, its fixed (not sure, when the file transfered half).

Your critical comments are really appreciated. If you look at a popular script under same niche on same marketplace, you will see no description, yet they are making 35 sales per week http://bit.ly/195MxJ3.

Different versions for CMS could be created and definitely have a worth, but again, the popular scripts are selling quite good.

Maybe your competitor is buying their own script to inflate sales numbers in the belief that some potential customers will give weight to the number of recent purchases when choosing between roughly equivalent products - i.e. if the only obvious difference between to products is popularity, then popularity can become meaningful, especially if the difference is an order of magnitude. It's like customer ratings for sellers on eBay.

Good luck.
