One other thing that I've changed is listing prices. In the past, all of my listings were at whole dollar amounts. I've noticed that items tend to draw more bids if the starting price has a $.99 or $.49 suffix. If I want $50 for an item, I'll list the starting bid out at $49.99 instead of $50.00.... seems to work pretty well on items that I've had to relist multiple times.
