If you know the foundation is getting 15% for all items and you want a dollar for something, price it at $1.18 plus shipping. The foundation takes the $.18 cents, sends the dollar and the shipping amount to the seller and the seller ships directly to the buyer.

You know, I'm a victim of "new math", & even I can cipher that 15% of $1.00 is 15 cents, not 18! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That being said, however, this is all much too complicated. If Doug wants to have a Bizarre Bazaar (my nomination for the name) for this community to sell or barter items, great. However, he doesn?t need the headache of trying to do the bookkeeping. I propose a voluntary "commission" on sales, like that done at KnifeForums. There, for each knife sold via the forum, the seller is asked to send $1.00 to Jim Nowka, the forum owner, to support the forum. It's on the honor system, done by PayPal (or other means), and seems to be working. Should work for Doug/ETS as well.

There?s no ?overhead?, either in time or associated costs, for anyone. ETS benefits, we benefit: win/win, as I see it.
