Now the TOTAL above can be added to to cover shipping (so you offer free shipping to your customers because nothing is ever REALLY truly free) you also need to cover overheads (electric, water, petrol to take them to the post office, wear and tear on your car, bus fairs, tools wear and tear, website costs etc etc etc) I usually add a certain % on depending on what is is made of or if it is a bespoke order or not.
Everyone has their own different ways of costing up their stuff but everyone should do it as it's no use selling something for £3 if it cost £10 to make... that's just bad business (and what most people on etsy and the likes are doing it seems).
