Any advice to neophytes would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Don't try to sell anything until you have done some buyin...

Don't try to sell anything until you have done some buying. Not only does this initiate you to the eBay experience, the feedback you get gives some protection against the worst scammers who prey on new sellers.

 

Don't sell anything you don't have in your hands. Dropshipping is a mug's game.

 

SELL WHAT YOU KNOW; KNOW WHAT YOU SELL

 

Picture as if you have no description. Describe as if you have no pictures.

And don't put anything in the picture that you are not selling. If you have five vases for sale, each of the five listings should have a picture of that vase and no other. (You can stick a flower in the vase though).

 

Be aware that your customer's payment will not be released to you for 21 days, but you have to ship within seven days.

Thanks for the advice. I have all products in hand, and I'm prepared for the delay.

If you could view my listings for more pointed advice, I'd appreciate it.

Well that Native Inspired print is NOT Art Nouveau. Google art nouveau images.
And there are a lot of restrictions on any term which makes any claim to being First Nations work. I guess I can see some indications of CheeChee's work, but...
If you are not native/metis/inuit/status, just stay away from any similar claims. Appropriation of voice is taken very seriously in the First Nations. And by eBay if there are any complaint.
If you are native, say so, preferably naming your nation and/or reserve. It's a selling point.
This is on photo paper? Is it glicee? I think that is a digital print on photo paper. I'm no art expert. If it can be a glicee, call it that. The term is more saleable than print.
And give the actual measurements of the item in your description.
