I set this up as insurance in case of stock issues - at least this was there's definitely a way to buy it before christmas.
you register and then set your price. they charge you a flat fee of 86p - only when you sell and then a percentage of 17.25% of the price. They charge the customer £2.75 postage, of which you get £2.26. you have to post the item yourself. With such a large charge I'd post 1st class recorded - a charge of £1.40 postage.
This means at cover price 4.99 on marketplace
Print £1.52
Postage £1.40
Packing £0.22
Amazon Fees £1.72
Total Costs £4.86
Money in £7.25
Profit £2.39 - astonishing versus the 16p you get for being on amazon proper.
The "make a pound" figure on Marketplace is £3.31 or £6.06 delivered.
