I'd like to see some of the features that Magento has implemented in Ubercart.. (I've also thrown in some additions too...)
Such as:
* Backordering (with selectable tresholds, let us set how many to sell that aren't in inventory so we can determine how far behind we want to allow orders to go..)
* Minimum and maximum quantities on orders per item
* Cross-selling and up-selling
* Coupons these should be limited by role, taxonomy, number of uses per customer, number of uses total, start date, and end date.. Also linked products, where if you buy product x, you get a % or $ off discount on product y.. this could be used for an Amazon like "Buy these products together and save even more"
* Discounts (per roll, time based sales, added by the store administrator.. also per taxonomy)
* Product reviews
* (RSS feed for low inventory would be nice too)
* Re-ordering of previously ordered products
* Affiliate tracking/payouts, fully configurable
* Multiple, configurable wishlists (baby registry, birthday wishlist, etc. whatever the admin allows or it could be set to allow user's to name the list, as in Amazon's latest system..)
* Flat rate shipping per item, per order, or both.. (If there is a way to switch the behavior with the current system could someone please let me know?)
* Recently viewed items block
* Ability to compare 2 items side-by-side, and also a recently views comparisons block if items have been compared..
* Tell-a-friend through email function, with a special link included in the email to allow someone to block their email address from being emailed further. This should have an access permission so the store administrator can decide whether they want anonymous uses to be able to use this or not, or have it set per role.
* Landing page generator, to create pages similar to the FrontPage module, and do tracking on these and allow ordering right off the page.
* Gift cards - Allow users to purchase gift cards which can be spent in place of using a payment method.. and can be emailed to anyone they choose.. (ZenCart does this...)
* EBay - The ability to list products on ebay through the Ubercart administration as if you're adding a product.. and optionally have this product displayed in the cart as well, but send someone over to ebay if they're trying to order it. (Maybe have different wording on the order button so it's clear that it's an auction item?)..
* EBay #2 - Allow people to check-out after winning the Auction through the Ubercart system to make payment.. (Vendio does this..) It could also handle emails to the customer, letting them know they won, and please click here to check out.. This would have the benefit of bringing the customer right to your site where they can make future purchases, and hopefully they give you permission to email them in the future through your newsletters..
Ok I've got lot's more ideas but if I keep posting them, I'l be here all day so I'll have to post more in the future..
Maybe we should start some bounties for some of the more popular feature ideas?
Comments/suggestions?

I think getting a solid Drupal 6 release out is top priority though...
