Selling on eBay is an art, not a science. Like any art, it takes some time to understand the nuances of the medium. For instance, it helps if you understand:
1. Starting with a high minimum bid puts people off. You are better off with a low starting bid and a reserve price. Best yet, a low starting bid and no reserve.
2. Descriptions need to be very clear, without any hint of ambiguity.
3. Unclear or high shipping/handling charges will run off bidders.
4. Large pictures -- the more the better -- help dispell potential bidders' doubts about the item (or confirm them, if it is a piece of trash). The point is, clear and detailed pictures are one indication of an honest seller. Remember, just because you know what it looks like, doesn't mean the bidders have the first clue. You have to
show them. That requires clear and detailed close ups. Best bet, links to your
large pictures hosted elsewhere.
5. If you don't take PayPal, you will cut your potential bidding audience by half of better. Right or wrong, a huge number of bidders prefer PayPal over other payment methods.
6. A clear statement of condition and exactly what is included is required. An abiguous or missing statement of condition is a red flag.
7. Excessive disclaimers and/or conditions, especially if couched in hostile terms, will run off bidders. No one likes to deal with an a******.
Just some thoughts. Care to place a bid?
