Thanks for the feed back.
http://i.crowdfunded.it/apple-ipod-shuffle-2-gb-silver is the page people use to pitch in. you can click the fb like, google +1 or tweet to share with others so that they can pitch in.
Trust is definitely important here. How do you suggest I improve on that?
You need to redirect people to HTTPS, and your credit card form should have a secure lock icon as well as icons for the credit cards you accept. You should have a little promise on your form like "Your credit card information is encrypted for your protection by Industry-Grade 256bit Encryption and will never be shared."
As far as the rest of your website, for me personally, I trust websites that are polished, simple, and have professional copy. I was really impressed with Swipe.com recently and immediately trusted them.
Shouldn't that page say to whom I am giving money?
I think it's a nice concept. People will perhaps be more inclined to give if there was some sort of feedback mechanism. Something that will tell a complete stranger that the guy who was an ipod shuffle for his birthday deserves my $5. Perhaps if I knew that this guy gave $10 to someone else last week for a school textbook? Just thinking out loud.
