Now, your item is up and ready to go. Before you hit the list button, there are few more things you might want to think about.

Payment
Of course Paypal is eBay's best solution. But I personally bad a very had taste with Paypal. It is great for buyers due to the buyer's protect policy. However, it is not doing much flavor to sellers. You can still lose your fund within the 45 days of transaction. That's how I got scammed by someone and I decided that I just have to stay away from it. You can choose whichever is most convenient for you whether it's electronic transaction or old school methods like Western Union and money order.

Shipping
You might want to offer insurance option to your buyer to ensure any possible lost.

Return policy
A good return policy might help you close the deal. It is extremely important if you want to get some return customer.

Extras
eBay offers you more options and add ons for you to improve your listing traffic. However, everything comes with a price. Some like adding a gallery might perform better than others. You have to figure out whether the promotion expenses are worth the effort.

There, you've got yourself an auction! Good luck!
