If I put a buy it now option, I usually do it a good bit higher than what I want to sale it for.

So starting at $35 was good and you were expecting up to $50, so I'd actually put something like $70. Problem is if you priced out those games you included in the bundle, you actually sold it for a pretty low price. Not a bad thing for your first sale though. A lot of people sale their first things a little low. For one you have to build a reputation and for two, you generally just don't know.

For your next sale at some point in the future, be sure to continue your pre-sale investigation to include any individual price for each item in your bundle and take into account the shipping costs as well as ebay/paypal fees associated with the sale.

But for $50 for a DSLite and some quality games... not bad at all for your very first time.

Couple other pointers.

Don't ship item until AFTER you have received FULL payment via paypal.
Ship with tracking number and put tracking number into Ebay for proof.
Don't do feedback until buyer does.
Make sure to send email after auction end, after payment, at shipping, and after they receive to remind them for feedback.
Lastly, always be 100% honest in your ebay sales. That always goes a long way.

EDIT: How much was Gamestop going to give you for that stuff?

Gamestop would have given me up to 50 dollars for the DS Lite, but only during that limited promotion, and only if I put the money towards a new regular 3DS (didn't apply to the XL anyway). But it didn't have serial number so they wouldn't take it anyway. 

But I haven't made a Paypal account yet, I'm trying to do that now, so maybe that's why he hasn't payed for it yet.
