for you and the customer to complete the sale. Call it a "consultant fee" and pay a decent wage.
In addition, don't forget you have to pay eBay a final value fee based on the item and total amount of the sale including shipping & handling.
"When you list and sell items on eBay, we charge selling fees. There are two main types of selling fees: an insertion fee when you create a listing, and a final value fee when your item sells.
The amount we charge depends on the item's price, the format and category you choose for your listing, any optional listing upgrades you add, and your seller conduct and performance. For more information, see our different types of selling fees below."
