I would presume that something to do with the amount that the item
-=sold=-
for is in his mind, however, the written offer said:
>I charge 25% of final value fee for my time and this includes all Ebay &
>Paypal fees associated with the sale.
Should he confirm using that phrase in arranging a transaction (accepting
material) it would then be part of the contract and applied accordingly as
written.
I've seen other "Registered Trading assistant" offers for up to 35% {PLUS
fees on one!} and -=you=- also pay to ****p and insure the material to
them.
One example:
Our commission rate is a straight 20% of the final sales value on eBay.
Our minimum starting price for any single lot is just $49.50.
There is also a small listing fee of $4.95 per lot listed, to cover eBay's
listing fees and other listing expenses.
So for any lot selling at the $50 mark, it'll cost 30%.
IMHO for salable material, 15% plus fees would be apropriate.
