John, you have to think of it as a crap shoot. During the time your
item is listed, someone (preferably a few folks worldwide) has to be
looking to buy your product. During any 5 or 7 day or whatever window
you present your product, your ad has to have something the others
don't that will attract the buyers away from other sellers. Random
lookers have to be able to find your ad in searches. If that doesn't
happen, it's not your fault. It's just serendipity.
I've found that waiting a few weeks or months between listings
captures a whole new audience. If you are in a hurry that may not be
possible. But the person who wants your lens real bad is out there, at
some time not controlled by you.
In between eBay listings, try listing it on Craig's List. It's free,
local, and can be a comfortable cash transaction.
Best of luck. If I was still collecting screw mount, I'd pick it up in
a heartbeat.
