The auction looked okay. You got some invalid advice from other answerers though.
Paypal will email you when you get a Payment in. There's no need to check your account often.
Don't inflate your shipping costs like one advised either. It's against eBay's rules. If you are charging more than lest's say Amazon would to ship this item, you are charging too much.
Always be brutually honest in your listings. Use Paypal's label printing system for your shipping labels if you can. Always use Delivery Confirmations if you ship USPS. Leave feedback when the buyer pays, instead of waiting to see what type of feedback they leave you. Your feedback is much important than theirs in buying transactions.
There's discussion boards for all areas in eBay under their Community tab. You can also find a group in that section for people in your local area probably too.

Always do a buy now price, some people don't like biding and will buy it right then if the price is right. Always check for others that maybe selling the same item and use that as a guide for your add and price. Other than that good job but go just a bit higher on your shipping because it may run you a little more than that to ship depending on where you ship it.

Seeing as you already have three bids, I don't see what the problem is. As for PayPal, as soon as the auction is over, check your PayPal account a few times a day, so that as soon as you receive the money and contact info, you can ship the item and have a happier customer.

Don't sell anything to anyone in Africa, especially if they offer more money than it is worth. It is a scam.
Also, complete the sale through ebay, don't make a deal outside of ebay or you lose any possibility of recourse if something goes sour with the transaction.
