Wouldn't it be an advantage to have the Full Description field added in the post field instead assign a new db field like pf_product?
Because if you have a lot of products and disable/uninstall the plugin you will lose all product descriptions.

I'll have to find away around that tip...

The issue with making posts rather than using a table is that you lose the structure. Rather than having a price field you can edit, you have a price line in a string. Parsing all this apart is not ideal and updating it [either for new reviews or changes to products] becomes a poor experience.
