Hi,
I want to set up my own business.I would sell items for people on ebay and do everything from collecting the things from their house to packing and posting their items. I will them take a 60% cut of the profit, after the ebay fee had been taken off. I will pay any paypal fees.The problem I have is.......... I really struggle with maths and numbers and I always have. I'm determined not to let this get in the way of my business venture. Does anybody know of a suitable program I can use to help me do simple book keeping then the compicated stuff can be done by my accountant! Or, just any suggestions for what columns I will need if I do it myself?
Sorry to sound so stupid but I really want to give this a go!
Any suggestions are gratefully received! Thanks xx

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.so u want to seel the item and also do the posting and packaging of it all for 60%, so if i sell something for �10 profit i only get �4? Even the most high earning agents in entertainement cant charge more than 40% and they are earning clients millions!!
What if the item doesnt sell, do they have to pay a minimum? and what if the client that u are collecting from is about 300 miles away? will the petrol costs for u be taken in account or are u only working locally and therefore reducing the number of customers wanting to hand over nearly all the profit to u?
What happens if an item goes missing ? who is liable to pay then? i mean if u post a package worth �100 then it vanishes, does the customer get his �40 worth still and u organise the compensation and dealing with the irate customer who didnt receive it or do u just send them the customers way that u were meant to be the agent for?
Sounds to me like u are seriously wanting to be self employed and that is great, but u need to research whether your idea is a viable one and if people will actually want it before u start organising anything!
