Theres many many issues with this. First, barrier is to high. I'm not mailing you my drivers license or giving you my work email, I'll just head over to craigslist. You have a chicken and egg problem, which one are trying to solve first and how are you going to solve it. Interface is simplish bordering on very amateurish. If you want people to take you seriously spend some money on design. You've built something, but haven't give one good reason why to use it. No way you're going to be craigslist with something like this. best of luck

Thx for the feedback. Yeah I really don't want people's Driver's Licenses - I just wanted to be able to let people access the site without having a corporate or student email address. If I just open it up to all email accounts, it'll be just as spammy as Craigslist.

You're definitely right about the design also. thx again.
