Answer 1

Some people wait until the last few hours to bid or use the service "Snipe" which allows them to put in a bid with Snipe and Spipe will place a bid within the last few seconds of an auction.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, something doesn't sell. I have posted things on E-Bay before and that has happened and they give you the option of relisting it. When I have had to relist, I usually try listing in another category or try revamping my captioning and item description.

Sometimes to totally relist the item and start out with a low price that will pop up if the buyer is sorting by price, but usually I increase the shipping by $1 and refer shipping as shipping and handling.

Answer 2

OK, I saw the link. I don't think there are any major flaws in your listing, however, you say it is antique...how do you know? What is the estimated date it was created, where, who created it? All factors I look for in an antique item. If you aren't sure or since you are asking a low price anyway, add another category for it.
81 items came up when I searched "German antique clock", and 1197 for just "desk clock". It's a unique item, so be very descriptive and cross list it (Try this category: Home & Garden > Home Decor > Clocks > Mantel, Shelf Clocks). It's a nice item but you need to reach the right audience. Good luck!

Answer 4

Is it overpriced? Did you spell the description wrong so people can't search for it? Is it in the right catagory?
