You will not make much money if your shipping cost is really $14.05. Better use a flat rat box *small should fit everything in your photo*

and on another note total value of memory is (taking the listing and shipping price and adding them) is 14.08 a pound. It wont go much higher than that. That's not counting the ebay and paypal fees and shipping fees.

But good luck either way.

Great looking listing format, very professional looking. My thoughts on ebay as a seller. Consider low starting bids, works in most cases and just like going to a regular acution auctioneer starts looking for a bid and keeps lowering until bidding starts. Lower starting bids may attract more initial bidders/watchers. I rarely use a buy it now, you never know the items you are selling may go well past your set price. If the stuff you sell and ship is heavier and fits in a priority flat rate box use it. Have had boxes weigh 40-60 lbs shipped this way and buyers always know if they are getting a good deal on shipping. Don't use dots, dashes, quotation marks or other symbols in your title unless absolutely necessarry, doesn't help the buyer search and find. As a buyer on ebay I won't even bid on an item if the starting price is close to what it will sell for. I will not ever bid on something that has astronomical shipping to offset the low selling price. And if you intentionally misspell some words in your search it is amazing at the deals you can sometimes find.
Good luck with your listing, will watch to see what happens.
