I wonder how many people actually bother to 'shop' on ebay or just go with what pops up under Best Match? Do a search once for a stamp you have listed on ebay and see what comes up and how far down the list you are. I've gotten to the point where I do a search before I list something to see who I'm competing against and what their prices are before wasting my time listing something only to find I'm undercut.

I sell on ebay, from Canada, as well. And I agree, I don't sell a lot lately. I too start all my listings at .99¢, whether singles, sets or large groups. I also offer combined shipping, which many sellers will take advantage of. And I don't blame them, I would too, that's why I offer it.
What I find annoying on ebay lately is trying to realist an item. It used to be you'd click on the 'relist' button and there you were. Now you have to go through this whole rigamarole, and I STILL haven't been able to figure it out. They do not make it easy, that's for sure.

Do not use the relist button as it will reuse the same item number and show it at the bottom of ebays search engine called Cassini. When you need to relist use 'sell similar as' all the info is still there and it generates a new item number for you. But I would not be simply relisting every time each week the same items over and over as buyers have seen those items before and they want to see something new each week. So you need a mix of new listed items with the relisted ones. Also make sure you sell to UK as there is a huge audience there. Bidding has not slowed down for me at all have had constantly between 40 to 85 bids on a 7 day spread. Currently 52 bids. You need to offer some sort after stamps as well.
