Seedlings available to sell

I did an assessment of my deflasked seedlings and realized that all of them survived and are progressing well, which I didn't expect really for it being my first deflasking.
Anyways, I decided to sell some of them on ebay, hoping to raise some money for new flask purchase and free some space for new seedlings.
As a test I created a listing for one compot here:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Phalaenopsis-Hawaii-Dragon-Girl-compot-/111079020481
Here is how the seedlings.
Group shot with a dollar to give an idea of their size:



Compot 1 (currently listed on ebay)



Compot 2



Compot 3



Compot 4



Now, obviously since I never sold anything on ebay before, my feedback is 0 and judging from my own buying habits - it is not likely anyone would actually bid on it. I wonder how first timers go about building their feedback.
Any suggestions from experienced ebay sellers? Does the listing look ok? Is the start price reasonable?

I am also willing to trade for any paph or phal seedling compots except standard phals with large side petals. I prefer star-shaped ones and fragrant. I posted the trade thread on the OB in the Orchid lounge section.

Selling some phals

Well, as my orchid tank filled up with all the phals plus some of them didn't even fit inside, I decided to get rid of some phals. Mostly they are duplicates or not the "absolutely must haves" for me.
I bought too many of them and now would like to concentrate on quality more than on quantity, trying to provide better conditions to those who stays.
I have created the "For sale " page on this blog.
Also for fun I created an account on eBay, just to see how this thing works for sellers, before I was only buying stuff from ebay :).
It is probably unfortunate that I started it in winter with dead shipping season here in Canada, but I chose "Express Post" as only available shipping option and mentioned the local pick up, so maybe there is somebody in an area who would like my phals.
These guys are available now:

Phalaenopsis Brother Gelblienosa (venosa x Gelblieber) - blooming size with spike - $25
