I am very interested in using the Market Theme for my store/blog. I have several functionality questions, provided below.

 

Number of installations allowed? (seperate sites, servers)
Ability to create CSV feeds using the products in the e-Commerce shop to be used by sites like Google Base, Shopping.com, PriceGrabber, and the like to be included in their price comparison engines?
Add any number of text areas and/or text input fields for product personalization?
Allow customer to Sort or Search Every Which Way? (Price – low to high," "Price – high to low," "Popularity," aka "Best Selling," "Featured," "User Rating" (or "Editor Rating" if you don't have users rate products), and "New" or "Latest") by manufacturer, activity, category or any other customization?
Allow customized header image and logo?
Allow to embed video and pictures in blog posts?
Auto-resizing product images?
Automatic email order confirmation?
Can I sell Affiliate (NOT Amazon, Ebay, etc but other private companies) products in combination with my own products?
Create additional pages, tabbed in the header?
Create and save a WishList?
Customers save their Billing Information (not credit card numbers) for faster checkouts?
Display my products in a 'fancy sliding product window' on the home page?
Does the theme offer Flat Limit Shipping? (similar to FLAT, but free if order is above a certain value)
Drop Down & Breadcrumb Navigation?
Easy Fav Icon Link creation?
Email newsletters to customers?
Featured Products with photo?

Personalized floating window (wishlist, account, cart)
Provide a space for description, details and list the sizes/colors/options?
Provide shipping costs to their Zipcode before you enter in their personal info and/or credit card info?
Quick Links area (site map) at bottom of page?
Register Now area for customers?
Related Products Section near product?
SEO Optimized Indexing?
Support Plug-ins? Can they be managaed from the Wordpress Dashboard?
Track Inventory
Track purchase trends

With the Blog, RSS Feed?
With the Blog, can you share posts via social bookmarking?

Wow…  Now that's a list of questions!

 

Market does have a bunch of those, but doesn't have some of the others. 

 

It looks to me like you'd be best off playing around a little bit with the online demo to get a good idea of what you can do.

http://www.markettheme.com/demo

 

Some of the answers aren't in the demo so you won't be able to see –I'll answer a few of those.

 

* You can have unlimited sites — as long as YOU own the domains.  If you get the "developer" license, then you can also do work for clients.

* You CAN sell affiliate products in addition to your own physical products.  Just choose "affiliate link" option in the "add product" screen, and enter your affiliate URL.  The Market Theme version in the download center has that feature even though the demo currently does not show that option.

* Market is SEO optimized, and the download package comes with an optional plugin to help give you even more control.

 

I'd say Market is ideally suited for those who are either not very technical (Market is very easy to operate), of for someone who knows what they're doing, and just wants to get a new webstore up and operational quickly, so they can move onto the next project.

 

(With the amount of features you're interested in above, I'd suggest that you maybe consider looking at a platform much more robust like the "Magento" or "OSCommerce". )

That is correct.

Market Theme has the ability to enter an affiliate URL for a product. Instead of an "Add to Cart" button, a different button will show up that says "Get Full Details". When the visitor clicks on that button, they are transferred to the affiliate URL.
