What are key factors in an eBay auction?

[ZiKi]

Hey I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what makes a perfect ebay auction. I have 98.9% positive feedback and have sold many items in the past, some without much luck. When bidding on an item, what do you look for in the auction? If you have any tips or links, that'd be great. I'm trying to make the greatest profit possible.

When listing, list at a time when people are online, don't make an auction end at 3AM or something.

Include this line: I DO NOT ship to Nigeria...

Low postage/packing
Reasonable end time (evening is best).
That's about it, assuming the item described is what I want

Well, I look for auctions that arn't ending on Sunday evening, but when I sell that's when I list mine. 9pm EST is about right.
