How much should I ask for in commission?

[jinglebelly]

Someone has asked me to sell some new t-shirts on their behalf from my ebay account as I am a powerseller. I have never sold anything on behalf of someone else before and unsure how much to ask for in comission, I imagine the t-shirts will sell for around £10-£20..... Thanks

all I can suggest is that you work out how much time you will be spending, how much your fees will be and how much extra tax you will be paying and hopefully you will arrive at a figure

bump

my reply no good then?
have you asked them how much they will be prepared to give you? Maybe work from that figure and see if it will be worth your while, taking into account the above stuff I mentioned. Also take into account the extra work filling in your tax returns - if you haven't done this kind of work before it's all extra bits to fill in (this bit would put me off!)

25% plus costs.
