    I'm seeing free shipping but $40 Flat Rate Worldwide in the description. If listing states free shipping, you cannot limit the free shipping to BIN. 

     

    There no pictures.

    Everyone has monthly selling  limits and they are lower for new or infrequent sellers. Read here:

    Most of your pictures are not showing.

     

    Why did you "have to" list at $200?

    As a new/occasional/returning seller you have restrictions on the number and value of your listings.

    Along with Managed Payments*, this comes as a surprise to longtime members.

    It's a Buyer and  Seller Protection against hijacked accounts. A bit patronizing, but in the big picture, a good thing probably.

    So you are probably allowed up to $200 opening prices and up to 10(?) listings.

    That's one $200 listing or 10 $20 listings.

    The idea being that no one loses his shirt due to rookie errors or to hijacking scammers.

    But.

    You could change that Fixed Price listing at $200 to an Auction with an OpeningBid of $200.

    If it goes up to $350 (or more?!)  that's okay with eBay.

    Don't do that.

    Buyers don't like Auctions. And Auctions have a higher Unpaid Items rate than Fixed Price.

    But it is allowed.

     

    I'd suggest that you take down that high value listing and do several lower value listings until you get used to the latest iteration of eBay. You may have to wait until your first month runs out.

    If it doesn't sell in the first 30 days of your new selling account, it will automatically relist and there goes next month's quota too.

     

    There's no chance that your tiki is "haunted", eh?  Those items seem to bring the eyeballs.

     

    If you know the name of the carver, put it in the Description.

     

     

     

    *Have you set up your Managed Payment account? You will need some form of government issued ID ,  I used my passport and DH used his driving license, because we Canadians are rarely required to give our Social Insurance Number. You may also be asked for secondary ID. 

    And you  will need a chequing account with a New Zealand bank since you are registered there.

    You will get better advice about Managed Payments on the Aussie and Canadian eBay sites, than here since we are dealing with slightly different rules.

    For example, Canadian banks offer USdollar accounts on the regular.  Do Kiwi banks do the same, or would that be a big deal?  And how available are online banks there?
