I’ve always like Shopify’s business model, and their product (although I’ve never used it). Mashable has the info on their new marketplace which I think is genius.
Genius mostly because it’s a similar idea I’ve had for one of the projects I’m currently working on. It’s not a shopping cart product but a similar model with a hosted application that I think is perfect for a marketplace add on.

The site was announced to users today.
