In general, we don't allow solicitation here in the Café, but as it's pretty difficult to ask for help with an auction without linking to the auction, I'm going to allow this (for now). I have deleted your similar posts in the Legacy thread - no point in merging everything since it's all similar.
The main issue that I see with your auction is that you're claiming "no damage" when I see white marks on the edges of the card. That's certainly minimal damage, but it does raise a red flag. And, as you've noted, you've not got a deep seller history. That may be enough to scare people off from making a multi-thousand-dollar purchase.

I wouldn't necessarily call the lack of seller history too much of a red flag. It does show that the sales he does have are from over a year ago. Having 3 or less in the history is a horrible red flag. I have a seller's history of about 350 or so from a time frame of about 16 or 17 years on EBay. Te good news is that under the price EBay posted that you are a "long time member."
I know EBay has an option to re-list and drop by 5% each month when the 28 day cycle ends for a sale. Did you opt in for that? Miht be wise, giving yourself a maximum window of a drop (say 15% off of the original listing price.
When I sell I always mentions my turnaround time for shipping (for me it's 72 hours of payment) and the items sold come from a smoke-free home (really important in the case of Magic cards, as cards that come from a smokers home will have a yellowing and a smoke smell).
Good luck. I'm curious to know how it goes, so for funsies, wanna let us know when it sells and for what amount.
Last note: Do you have an auto-reject option for offers? Always good to have that, as it'll save messaging time.

I don't know if this will count as a "sales" post, but I'd just like to know if I am doing anything wrong with my eBay listing.

All suggestions taken on board. The price is less than a previously sold one that was in worse condition.
Oh, please don't be too harsh, I'm an old-timer who's forgotten my login info!
