Should a consignment fee apply to the total sale price even if the listing features "free shipping"?

I have a question about what is fair in terms of the relationship between commission and shipping charges on consignment. I'm an independent Ebay seller with a store and I recently took on a consignment for the first time, for someone with a large in...

Confused about multiple promotions...
