    Goodness, I don't know why you are not getting bids - the ad looks great.... I can only think of the following:
    1) Are there loads of similar items available?
    2) Maybe people are put off slightly by the low feedback (unavoidable - we all have to start somewhere)
    3) Maybe you will get some last-minute bids from people hoping for a bargain (time-zones allowing, that is how I normally bid)

    Can you see how many people have added it to their "watch" list?

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    There's a way to tell if someone put it on their watch list? Anyone know where I can see that? I'm SUCH A novice here!

    On your "My Ebay" screen you can tell the number of bids and the number of watchers in the same place. Go have a look, and let me know if you see it.

    All I see is this:
    Seller status: Your item has no bids. (To make changes to your listing, click the "Revise your item" link).

    Are you looking at your actual listing, or have you signed into "My Ebay" from the options at the top?

    So once you have signed in do you see a section called "Items Selling" or words to that effect. You would get a title of the left, then you would see price, number of bids, and also a number under a heading of "Watchers". Now the number may be 0, but it would still be there.

    Gee, don't blame you for the $9 shipping then. The PO is getting ridiculous!

    I just looked at similar auctions to yours that have closed recently and it's kind of hit or miss. A few went for around $20 for a large lot, one for $10 and couple for $7 and $5. There were a couple that got not bids.

    Hang in there! Seeing that you still have a couple more days I wouldn't get too frustrated yet.

    Your ad looks great!
    I Personally don't see why anyone would bid before the last day, that bumps up the price! I ONLY bid at the last few minutes. (Unless it's buy it now of course)
    I put up a pair of brand new $150 Tony Lama boots with 5 wonderfull pictures for $80 and NO one bid, so I lowered it to $40 and still after 3 weeks NO one bid! This was the first thing my mom and I listed (share account) we did have great Ebuyer ratings, we've bought about 10 things, including a $100 saddle, payment right on time. *sigh*
