Being a relative newcomer to the field doesn’t give anyone a free pass to open an auction house, what exactly would you provide to your consignors? Not trying to be rude but you have asked some pretty rudimentary questions over the past few months and not sure why you think this would be a great idea. Again, if you you decide to take this on I wish you luck I just don’t know that this would be a successful venture for you.

For a single item I would agree. The only time I could see charging a sellers fee is if there is a lot of work involved.
Example would be organizing lots into making sense for buyers.
Say you're given 2000 cards of all different years. In order to maximize profit, you are going to have to strategize and come up with a plan to make the lot more attractive which would most likely involve breaking them down into smaller lots and taking detailed scans.
Another example would be a huge lot of stubs. In order to maximize profits, you're gonna want to list each date as well as any noteworthy events to help the lots garner as much attention and money as possible.
Would you agree with that?
