Part of your problem was the item. I saw 5 on ebay but they were all new. So how many people are looking to buy a used one? Also, for an item like that, doing a 30day fixed price or OBO listing might have been a better route. That item is going to take a while to find the right buyer so I don't feel the auction type was right for it. Also, shipping price hurts you. People see $35 and sometimes will find another. Its one of those gambles where a lower or free shipping cost may get you higher bids.
I almost no longer charge for shipping unless its a large item and I usually just charge $10 for those. I put options for faster shipping so if they want it faster they have the option. I usually don't do auctions either, I will do fixed listings sometimes with OBO option. Just sold 2 phones in the past 2 days.
Just my 2 cents.
