I would presume it's because the prerequisite for Repeating Weapon is a simple or martial weapon which has the ammunition property. A palm pistol doesn't have that property, it has light, reload and misfire.
No problem. (Not that I'm claiming these gameplay distinctions make any logical sense, after all this is a world where a 2 lb longbow is 'heavy' while a 10 lb greatclub isn't!)
I have a similar problem. Nowhere does it say the infusion has to be on a non-magical item. I have a Vicious Crossbow with the repeating shot infusion but it does not allow me to do so. This makes me assume that you can only use with a non magical item but once again...the description does not state this.

The issue is, the palm pistol DOES have the ammunition property, they have forgotten to give it that and it needs to be fixed. You have to buy ammunition for it. Taken from the Palm Pistol description,
Ammunition All firearms require ammunition to make an attack, and due to their rare nature, ammunition may be near impossible to find or purchase. However, if materials are gathered, you can craft ammunition yourself using your Tinker’s Tools at half the cost. Each firearm uses its own unique ammunition and is generally sold or crafted in batches listed below next to the price.

why does beyond not let me use this infusion with the palm pistol?

then y can I put it on the reg pistol and not the Exandria one. Just trying to get this build right. 😊 thank for the info
The properties for the pistol are ammunition, loading.
The properties for the pistol (Exandria) are reload, misfire.
Ok. Works for me. Thanks

It does say only non-magical items in the infusion description in the class info
No fewer than three times!
