My first impression is that it's ugly and confusing.

1) The logo is way too small and out of the way. 2) The search and list an item buttons are different sizes, different corners, different text styles (capitalised and non) and garish colours. 3) The birds in the banner overlap with the white letters 4) The orange-bordered box with the info is in a weird place, too small, down in the bottom, the border looks weird, etc. 5) The banner doesn't really explain the concept to me. Why is a .edu address relevant.
