Can you answer these questions for a beginner etsy shop? - shop critique request

Hello, I posted my first listing a few days ago, not much traffic as you can guess. first of all i have to tell you about my shop to follow the guidelines.

I sell custom 3d printed stardew valley characters from etsy, the buyers are supposed to send me a screenshot of their in game character, i model it for them and print, assemble and ship. The inspiration came from when i built a figurine for my partners stardew character as a gift and thought maybe i can offer this product to others too. Prior to opening my shop i checked pricing on the made to order customized products on etsy and saw that the market is dominated by dioramas and didnt see any figurines, in result my listing came out to be a rare find which i still am not sure what that is. But i think that my product stands out from the fact that there are no customizable decorative object options outside of dioramas and i thought that maybe i could have a slice of that market since there are quite a lot of them.

My questions are:

  1. Is it realistic that a buyer sends me a screenshot after purchasing the object?

  2. Is my listing ready for a etsy ad, would you recommend it to get some starting traffic and some reviews? Thanks.

Here is the link to my etsy listing.
