Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

I am going to be selling a few things on eBay for a friend. However, we are unsure what a fair comission would be. Do you have any ideas how to come to a fair split of the sales?

Here’s a link to a good article discussing consignment selling on eBay. The author suggests a comission of 20% - 40% of final selling price including fees.

eBay calls this consignment service the eBay Trading Assistant Program.

Here are two articles published in the AuctionInsights newsletter that describes this program in detail:

The eBay Trading Assistant program (Part I)

The eBay Trading Assistant program (Part II)
