WP e-Commerce 3.7.6 now includes better support for paging on category pages.
The latest release contains a suite of functions (my little contribution) to help you customise how pagination is displayed in your WPSC templates.

One thing I think should be changed to bring the product edit screen in-line with the WordPress post/page editing layouts is the separation of the Categories and Tags boxes.
