Flat fee per item under £20 and 10% for anything over. That way you win every way. |

I'd suggest she did it herself. That way IF anything dodgy happened your name would be in the clear. |

10% is too low.
Many Post Office branches now offer a "sell your stuff on Ebay" service, and I think their % is around 20%, plus a flat fee. Remember that if you are selling on Ebay, you will have to take good quality photographs under good lighting conditions, to prresent the item to best advantage, and this takes time and effort. An extraordinary number of items on Ebay are presented with shabby photographs, and this does affect the final sale price, and even if a sale is made at all. Do not underestimate the work in preparing a good auction description. I have sold items for several times what I paid for them, by virtue of making a first rate presentation, both in pictures and in text ; and seen the same item go for peanuts because the seller was careless about how he presented his sale item.
Of course, it is your boss and you will know best how the relationship works, but I do caution you against under-valuing yourself in a business context. |

It's your time here, isn't it? Presumably you've got to go to the trouble of taking a photo and writing the listing and working out the postage costs and then there's also the matter of dealing with the buyers and the question of who goes down the Post Office with it, etc. This could get quite time consuming. There's also Paypal fees as well to take into account.
I'd have thought 10% at a minimum. Maybe even 15 or 20. It all depends how generous you want to be. |

I would tell her she can do it herself - did you know any money earned on these type of things has to be declared to the tax man? although no one does. The same as car boot sales. My friend sold at car boot sale and made about £30 and someone told the DSS and she was told it was taxable income. |

I would charge 30% of the gross sale price, plus 3% of any shipping and handling charges (to help cover paypal costs).
If she overcharges on shipping to compensate for a low price, I would charge 30% of shipping and handling also.
Your time and effort is valuable, and its value is dependent on how well you sell them. |

10% sounds fair to me, you're obviously gonna save her the hassle of listing and checking e.t.c. |

I would charge her 10% but why can't she do it herself? Its not like she has to pay to set up an ebay account.....all sounds a bit dodgy to me.... |
