    Usually what is the targeted margin that you put into your reserve price while you putting up your listing? Any idea or we just start with 0.01 will do? Any idea how to calculate that? Please advise. Thanks

    Definitely google "ebay fees calculator" Then determine how much you want to make after taking into account fees. $10 is usually a good minimum to aim for.

    Frankly it depends on your actual price for the product. If you make the product by yourself, instead of buying from someone else, then you can sell for low fixed prices or even 1 cent auctions too. However if you are buying form someone else and selling on ebay, then you will have to take into consideration lot of factors like the ebay listing fees, your buying price, the shipping and insurance cost to send the product to the delivered address, then the ebay commission which they charge after sales and at last but not the least your Profit :)

    So eventually you have to make sure you have thought of all these things before setting up a selling price ;)

    The ebay calculator is useful. I wouldn't recommend a reserve price except for certain one-offs. Definietely not if you have a lot of one thing.
