    Michelle,

    I wouldn't remove the search from the top, as your going to need it on all the pages and it keeps the look consistent, but I would also have a search box on the homepage like the mock up from the other reviewer as people have just landed on the site and you want them to start searching, and it'll look familiar to them (google-esque) so they instinctively know what to do.

    Two things are confusing me, the 'We're a lil orange shopping' doesn't really mean anything to me and it's like what are you telling me? And the 'We focus on small sellers on these great sites', what does that mean? That you don't look at the full inventory on them sites, only particular sellers?

    Again I agree with the other review that you need something along the line of popular or recent searches just to show what other people are looking at, pretty sure that will work better than browse. And then you could move the browse below them, maybe use a carousel so its not 30 odd images.

    One thing on the usability side of things is that you having got a category toolbar, so lets say I've done a search but now I want to browse a particular category, how do I do that?
