Perhaps consider including an optional Buy It Now price in with the auction? P.S. I've just noticed message #3 by department28 suggested that; sorry, department28.

I'm one of those buyers who like that option. I choose it increasingly though still only occasionally as sometimes people don't want to wait for the auction to end - my heart sinks when it says 6 days to go; I used to be patient, less so these days! It's not always solely about price e.g. an item's desired right now as a gift or as a craft item to go into an ongoing project or simply a gift to oneself.

A BIN isn't necessarily depriving you the seller as the BIN option disappears once someone bids, and then you're back to hoping there'll be two or more bidders who'll thus raise the price. Though it does mean deciding what your minimum acceptable price is, to start an auction, and what you think is a practical price to set as the BIN, bearing in mind that until the first bid no one who see the BIN price is going to bid above it when they could just pay the BIN. (You probably realise all that already.)

If and hopefully when you get interested buyers, maybe consider sending offers when eBay says buyer(s) have shown interest? (these days - watchers or, often ridiculously, those who've just looked). Because if you do select that option, you'd need to factor it into your prices so that you don't lose out (reasonable buyers expect that). Depending on the percentage discount, it can tip mild interest into a sale.

Good luck.
