Best wishes for a successful career here.

VINTAGE 1950 LAMP

 

You should mention if you are selling one lamp (as worded in the text) or two lamps (as shown in the picture) . Don't confuse the buyer.

 

Also "Beautifull" should be spelled: "Beautiful"

 

You could also add a few more words to the title. And add details like: lamp size (height, base size); manufacturer (if known), where produced (if known). The more details you can provide about a vintage item, the better your chances of catching a buyer's interest.

YOUTUBE Snapp Camcorder

 

I'd recommend: Coby Snapp HD Digital Camcorder - Youtube for the title.

 

For shipping:

I assume you are using calculated shipping.

Have Expedited parcel for Canada as first choice (this shipping be purchased through paypal for a discount, $100 insurance and tracked). And if you wish keep Canada Post Xpresspost as a second choice.

 

Reason: Final-Value-Fee (FVF) on shipping is based on the lowest domestic shipping cost. It also gives your buyer the choice between quick with higher ship cost, or lower price with slower shipping. It makes your product more attractive to buy.

All the advice given to you thus far is good and sound so I won't repeat it. I'll suggest as well that you do some buying on this account soon to increase your Feedback Count. It is to be considered that there are unethical people out there that will seek an inexperienced seller (according to their feedback count) and try to exploit that with whatever shenanigans come to mind.

Minor correct but important to all sellers.

 

The lowest shipping cost should be first so that it is used for shipping FVF for international shipping.

 

But the actual shipping cost of the service used for domestic shipping is used for shipping FVF, not the lowest cost listed.  I checked the eBay.ca Canada help pages to see the rules. Read the help page here:

 

http://pages.ebay.ca/help/sell/insertion-fee.html#fvf

 

(same rules on eBay.com USA because I checked to make sure it was not an ebay.ca site error)

 

If you list on eBay.ca


If you list on eBay.ca and a Canadian buyer purchases your item, your final value fee for shipping is calculated using the shipping service that the buyer chooses.


If you list on eBay.ca and a US or international buyer purchases your item, your final value fee for shipping is calculated using whichever service is less expensive, either:


    The first domestic service in your listing that isn't express, or
    Your international or express shipping service


For example, if a buyer chooses international shipping and you specified free shipping as your first domestic option on your eBay.ca listing, you don't pay any final value fees on shipping charges for that item. If international or express shipping is the only service you offer, your final value fee for shipping charges will be calculated on that service.

 

Xpresspost is an express service so it would not be chosen for the OP but I wanted to clarify it is the first service in case another non-express service is used (Lettermail for example with its lower cost).
