Ability to add products before approval (visible to seller only)

I am currently waiting to get approved and dislike the fact that I can't already at least make templates for the products I will be selling in preparation. I have no idea what the layout will be and can't preview the sale page. That sucks. I'd like to be able to get the text and images out of the way and set up my product pages so all I need to do later is to click a publish button.
