YAebayT: What to charge someone/business for listing fees percentage

[PhlashFoto]

I have a person who is looking to have someone post items for sale on eBay and other possible sale locations. It is mostly musical memorabilia such as posters, photographs, other vintage items.

They mentioned about what I would charge as a percentage, but I don't what to charge exactly. I figure I would take my cut before all shipping, paypal and ebay fees. Does anyone have a suggestion what I should ask for a percentage of listing fee?

Any input would be helpful, thanks.

EDIT: Also, I am not a noob to ebay (7 years). I just have never done it for anyone other than for myself and a friend. Whereas this person/business are stangers.

You can charge whatever you want. Those sh1tty eBay stores that infest strip malls charge about 25-40%, so somewhere around there is fine. Offer a discount for volume.

Make it simple - make a flat charge, not the 3-4 different prices they'd see when selling on ebay, and then your own charges on top. That makes it too complicated - simply give them a flat rate with a breakdown in ranges:

$10-$50: XX%
$50-$250: XX%
$250-$1000: XX%

If you want to get people's interest, it needs to be simple.

$5 + 15% or something?

Then people wont be getting you to auction crappy $0.50 items
