If you consider: 10 % for ebay (up to a specific $ amount, depending on the item), 3 % for paypal, and 15% for their commission = 28%, obviously leaving you the other 72%. I personally never offer free shipping, but I always make sure that my items are professionally packed. If you buy your items in bulk and when they are on sale you save a ton of shipping costs. All of my boxes I get for free, in a variety of sizes and all plain brown cardboard, and if you check ebay for bubble rap, pop corn peanuts etc, you will find that you can get these items for a fraction of the cost you can at a store. So figure another 2 percent for shipping costs, and honestly you can probably ad that into the shipping charge (I do), then you have around 70% left. Considering the time and situation you're in, it sounds like a good deal, but that all depends on if you offer free shipping, get your items at a discount, etc.....
