Without knowing all this information, any answer would be a guess.
Add to that list whether the buyer lives in a state that charges sales tax on shipping, if the items is charged shipping or free shipping and if the specific item has a FVF cap. I know there are some but don't know if there are any capped near where this may fall.
Honestly, this is all a bunch of pointless hoop jumping. If the math determines the sale price needs to be $1500, that doesn't mean the item is worth $1500. If it's not worth $1500 it won't sell. If it's worth $2000, it would be silly to sell it for $1500.
My advice is to search sold listings to help determine a good price. One that has a chance of selling and doesn't leave money on the table.
For the math (in a broad brush calculation) you need to determine the total percent the fees could be, including possible sales tax to the buyer. The highest possible would be the most conservative. You'll also need to know what it will cost you to ship it.
(1200+postage+transaction fee) / percent = price including shipping (if no sales tax)
That's the price - the fee % will leave enough to cover the transaction fee, postage and leave $1200.
If there's sales tax, you need to add the fees you'll be charged on the sales tax and add the to your price.
