What is the typical markup for these items if I purchase from a wholesaler?
Do I charge shipping or not?

You have to take many things in consideration. First look at what other sellers charge for same or similar items. Then depending how much your cost was. Then add fees and postage.
It comes down to how much do I pay for merchandise that I want to sell. I want to make at least $10 as a profit. Good Luck

"What is the typical markup for these items if I purchase from a wholesaler?"
This question helps to explain the position that many posters state here from time to time, paraphrased as . . . . .
You make your profit when you source your products.
As for charging shipping or not, I probably would. But I almost always do charge shipping and rarely have "free shipping" on any of my listings. Each seller has to make that determination for him/herself.

No way to answer............wholesale prices vary widely........dependent on quality, weight, size and size of the order......You can buy 12..........or you can buy 12,000..........and the cost will be different, thus allowing for different markups...........

If I weren't doubling or tripling my cost for an item, I wouldn't list it on eBay. In fact, I acquired 80% of the things that I currently have listed on eBay for free and the prices range from $12 to $16,000.
