Start by entering basic information like item name, original cost, and projected selling price.

Then add projected selling expenses, like listing and optional feature fees, shipping and handling, and your merchant account (like PayPal) fees.

The Estimator will calculate and display your total selling expenses and then your projected net income (profit or loss).

Use the "Export" button to save a scenario for later use, then when you want you can Import that data right back into the form fields... easy enough, all you have to remember is where you saved and what you named the export file.

GUARANTEES

• Should the item be sold individually, or grouped together with other items to encourage more bidding?
