I bought something similar to this for small parts I auction on ebay.

It makes a HUGE difference in the quality of the photo. Your photo's were a bit dark and out of focus. Also your description was very "utilatarian" while it may not be your personality, you have to "hype" your auction a bit. Certainly nothing untrue but you have to think as a buyer would when you write your description. "What would make me buy this?"

I would also remove the personal description stuff. It only makes you seem less established as an ebay participant.

I had 2 sets of Shimano 600 cranks (Grey, 80's style) both were in very good shape and both were auctioned at the same time. The set that I took photo's of in the light box/diffuser(?) iot double the money for the same item. It makes that much of a difference. Also you type font is too small. The Canada shipping issue should be addressed up front in your description and what your "solution" is to the "problem." Even if there is no problem, buyers feel better knowing there are no variables or at least they have been disclosed.
