    Ok, get rid of the grey text. Grey is the smallprint and people don't read smallprint. Main body text should be black, quotes can be maroon or navy, can use some occasional red and blue for titles and important stuff! No grey!!!

    Is this book about PayPal? Why is PayPal logo the first thing I see? And then those credit cards... so you just want my dosh, right? You just wanna charge me?

    Have a nice descriptive logo. Think about something that characterizes your product.

    I quite like your feedback section. That's a fresh approach and might work.

    Experimenting with flash? At the very bottom you have this fancy stuff, which says buy it now but it is not clickable. You cannot have buttons or text that says "click here", "buy now", "learn more" etc that cannot be clicked!

    This ebay flash thingy with the grey flickering background. Get rid of it. People with certain diseases will faint seeing this. I'm not being funny. It is really unpleasant even for my healthy eyesight.

    I would get rid of it altogether. Just emphasize the buy now button by adding a frame (maybe red) to it. I just keep skipping it as I scroll down. That's no good. I am not supposed to skip it, I gotta click it!

    Wow! Tankard you are my hero! There is nothing better than to hear it how it is. I really appreciate your critique. Excellent - I splatted the site up real quick in a frenzy to get some cash... Based on your observations I have some hefty upgrades to make. But when it's all said in done I appreciate your guidance.

    No Gray - Remove flashy stuff - Move paypal/cc logos... Keep the emails and restructure the outline... Excellent...

    You have two the the in the title.

    The text needs more margin, padding? something like that, it reaches the edge.
