This is still a work in progress but I wanted to get some early feedback so I know what to change. Still have more pages to put up and still working on how to get the point of my program across to the reader.
 
Seems like a big part of the feedback is about the .exe file on my site. So everyone knows that is there right now for my beta testers and will be changed to a .zip file. thank you

You should have a unique title and description tag for each web page. Especially important if you want to target keywords.
 
It took me a little time reading each page to determine how much this service costs. You might consider displaying the proce more prominently.
 
I would expect some reluctance from people to download a setup.EXE file.

I think "repeet" will cause problems for you. People will want to type it in as "repeat".

I also never, ever, ever install something that comes with an order. I never used the install disc that came with my cable modem or my router either! An ebay seller is not a trusted source enough for me to double click on an exe file.

Is there some other way you can provide this service? A widget of some sort? A feed to subscribe to?

I am still going around with the name repeet.com just could not get myself to pay the company that has repeat.com the $14,000.00 they want for the name.
 
Your right that some people will not install something that comes with an order and that is why I will be recomending that sellers use the business card CD`s, they are diffrent enough that they perc up interest in people. As far as widgets go I am like about them like you are about loading a disk that comes with an order. I do not load widgets, most are pourly written and cause slow down on systems so I won`t go that direction but thanks for the idea.
 
Ebay is the first step in marketing this program. It is already underdevelopment for use by any person that sells goods on the internet. Few more lines of code to write. My main reason for going to Ebay first is a large ready made market that is compeating against each other for sales.
 
I changed my start post to include that the .exe file on the web site is for my beta testers right now. That file will be changed to a .zip file for release.

I know you`re doing the site yourself and I commend you on your efforts.  But I want to call to attention the design.  It looks very amateurish which tends to make customers question whether they can trust the site and your business.  The frog image is of poor quality and has nothing to do with your product.  The site lacks a sense of design.  And it`s also a good idea to have someone go over your grammar - we all make typos!  Your headline, "Put your Ebay listings on customers desktop" isn`t even grammatically correct.  I know it`s a work in progress so keep polishing as you go along!

Thanks CampSteve for the feed back. The banner is just there as a filler right now while I am having one desinged, a picture my son did one day LOL. I have been fighting with the headline, I did have in there "Put your ebay listing on your customers desktop" then had another person say I should take our the word "your" so I did but it does not feel or sound right. Have been working on the spelling and such. To many late nights when I should have been in bed. Makes more work in the long run. Besides the banner and Grammer what do you think needs to be changed to make it not look amateurish. I find it hard to figure out when there is only one product that you are offering.
 
Oh also meant to add that the new banner will have a small frog on it. I know you don`t think it has to do with the business but honostly when I was looking for a name for the program and decided on Repeat and could not get that url then I changed it to Repeet....Well the only thought that popped into my mind is it sounded like a frog so I said what the heck and went for it. could not realy think of a logo design that worked for the program.
