This went well

Could have been better, could have been worse.
Just throwing stuff against the wall and see what sticks.
This seems sticky, and worth repeating.
Hope you find one and make a ton of money!

However if you charge for shipping eBay doesn't charge you a fee for that portion. Saving you more money overall.

eBay changed that years ago because people were selling an item for $1.00 with $99.00 shipping and only paying FVF on the $1.00 selling price

NOW
ebay DOES in fact charge a Final Value Fee on what you charge the Buyer for shipping
eBays Final Value Fees are roughly 10% of TOTAL Price

Item sells for $100.00 with FREE shipping >> FVF (about 10%) will be roughly $10.00
Item sells for $80.00 with $20.00 shipping >> FVF (about 10%) of item will be roughly $8.00 PLUS FVF (about 10%) of shipping charge will be roughly $2.00 for a TOTAL of $10.00 in FVF
eBay does not care how you split it up they will be getting their 10%
