E-Bay selling tips, Anyone? Options

Hey I have some rainguards I am selling some of you may have seen them. I am having some problems getting them seen.
One major problem is there is no listing for the GT Four sub model at least not for US posts. A friend that also sells on e-bay suggested
putting JDM in the title, but the part is mine and not actually JDM. Any tips? E-bay is really a rip off for sellers they charge 9% for selling
which is really outragous imo, I didn't even make that back in the day when I sold electonics for commision only. Right now I am getting 100 views
in 10 days, for 9% I would hope for a little more exposure than that. I am new to e-bay selling so any pointers would be helpful.

yeah I finally had an ad that was getting views, and apparently they let you have 5 sales then they hold your money in paypal until 3 days after the items is received. They say it is for buyer protection, but it is really about selling their stupid shipping labels. This happens until you have 25 successful sales, are a seller for 90 days, and have a month with over $150 in total sales. It is right there, four pages into the ebay seller policys under the help section. I quit selling on there too. I thought about selling a bunch of small ticket stuff to meet the 25 sale criteria but fak um, it isn't worth it.
