How much would it cost to have someone sell stuff on ebay?

Typically, the companies who do this charge some kind of percentage. Even up to 20% or 30% - if this is a friend, you may want to charge less. And you have to think about: what if an item does NOT sell? Do you still get paid, and if so, how much? You've already realised your time is worth something - it's up to you to decide just how much. Explain to your friend that this takes a LOT of time and energy, plus you have to monitor the account and make sure to respond if anyone asks questions, etc. And who's doing the packing and shipping? That costs time and money, too. It sounds like you really don't want to do this - you _could_ help her by showing her how, once or twice, and then leaving her to do it. It's easy for her right now to say "Oh, you do it", but once she realises how much work it really is, she may come back and offer to pay you for doing it. Think about it - which do you value more, your time or your friendship? It may be better to simply say you don't have the time - that this could wind up being a full-time job for you! Good luck, FF

I would charge at least a 25% commision. There is a lot of work and time involved.

You can do it yourself but if you need someone else you should charge monthly or yearly - say £/$ 20 monthly and 80 yearly- yes I would! The problem is people tend to stick to eBay to earn money or to sell and without knowing it they're spending too much (in some cases) because they dont branch out to sell! Sometimes people sell on there and pay for the fees etc but their item doesnt even get sold! You can even make twice as much if you branch out - using free and fee services both. You can also earn, promoting on sites like: http://www.sellit-right.com http://www.craigslist.org http://www.amazon.com
