I just skimmed the responses above and I'm echoing a lot of them. Please forgive me everyone for not giving credit.
1 Ebay as with all auctions are unpredictible. What sells for $50 today may get $5 tomorrow. You can't avoid that. I can't help with timing or starting bids. I've heard there are better and worse but I've also seen things end in the middle of the night that do very well.
2 Learn the difference between the Owens cut off and a pontil. Many people make that mistake.
3 Yes, spelling is very important.
4 Some of your inks are very common and some are just outright modern renditions (fantasy or reproductions). Again, see #3
5 Contition is VERY important on any item.
Remember that you rep is on the line. If you appear at all to be deceiving the buyer, even if it's just lack of knowledge. One miss, one flea bite or scratch and you can end up with a return. You are not covered very well as a seller.
Good luck
