You are an occasional seller and those tend not to get as much exposure.
You are selling in a high fraud category.
You are selling high value items, and the $1500 item is the highest price you have asked so far.
Items listed on dotCOM do get more visibility on dotCOM than those listed elsewhere but available to the USA.
Overseas searchers look at dotCOM not at dotCA.
Auctions are basically obsolete. Less than 15% of listings are auction, and most of those have either Buy It Now or Best Offer attached.
Auctions have only seven days of visibility and get most bids in the last few minutes.
Fixed Price listings have 30 days of visibility and the seller can add Immediate Payment Required, which leaves the listing visible and buyable until someone actually pays.
Listing on dotCOM does get a larger audience.
And the price "seems" lower because the customer sees the price in USD, which is nearly $1.30 in loonies.
As long as you specify shipping to a country, customers in that country will see your listing. But eBay does seem to rotate listings so that we may or may not be visible in any given location on any given day.
Listing on dotCA does allow us to use Calculated Shipping, which is useful for anything travelling Parcel Rates.
My suggestions.
Ditch auctions for FP/IPR.
Use Free Shipping, including your costs for shipping in the asking price.
- For USA/Canada, that's $0.00 Flat Rate shipping while for overseas use the flat rate to Australia.
Include the minimal cost of Signature Confirmation, even when eBay does not require it "for the buyer's protection".
If you add Best Offer to your Fixed Price listing , IPR no longer functions.
If you add Best Offer, set parameters to filter out the lowballing idiots.
