Decoupage is fun. ^^ I've actually sold stuff like that before. =D

Ok, critique time. ^^

Your titles are actually pretty decent. My main concern is #1 - are you sure you are charging enough for shipping? and #2 - yeah, copyright issues. Techinically it's illegal/against ebay's policies BUT that doesn't mean you can't get away with it. ^^ It's the same thing I do with buttons. Companies to watch out for: Anime Gamers (FLCL and possibly Broccoli stuff) and Right Stuff (Boogiepop Phantom, Gravitation and others) - they are the only ones I've had shut me down. WHR and Saiyuki should be ok though. ^^ But do be careful. =)

So, shipping. $4 doesn't sound like *nearly* enough. Aren't those candles kinda heavy...? That's another thing - you don't have any dimensions listed! That is always death. >_< But yeah, you need to think about ebay fees and Paypal fees - that usually ends up being well over $1 (sometimes a lot more if the item sells for a lot), plus the cost of packing supplies. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with USPS's rates (first class mail is 13oz and below only...) - you can check usps.com to calculate postage. (I'm at the point where I can look at a pile of packages and estimate within $5 how much it will be at the post office. XD)

I like how you've broken up the lines in the mirror auction - try doing that in the other ones, too. Uniformity is good. You need a more professional layout, but you already know that. =)

So yeah, main thing is charge more for shipping and add the dimensions. And I still have a problem with the name. How is it anime imports if you are handmaking stuff? XD Nor is it the "only place in the central valley" to get anime stuff. Plus it sounds dorky. Haha! No offense. You should do something cuter.

Your photos could be better, too. The mirror one is pretty blurry. =/ Oh, and insurance is $1.30, not $1.

I thiiiiink that is it. =) Overall, not bad at all! I've seen oh...so very much worse, haha.

Oh, one more thing. Hehe.

It is MUCH better to list a lot of auctions on ONE day than it is to list a few each day. Much much MUCH better. The more auctions you have up at once, ending at the same time, the better. You can use Turbo Lister (once you try it, you'll never go back) to save all the auctions you write, then list them all on one day (preferrably Saturday or Sunday.)

Good luck! Feel free to ask me anything!
