How to Account for Sales on Behalf of Others

[Christopher Stamper]

Hi all,

I'm about to sell several items on eBay, for a friend. I'll be giving him
the proceeds, less ebay listing fees and shipping (and maybe a little for
myself).

I probably won't be doing this for too many other people, in the future.

My question: how should I record these transactions? Should I create an
income account specifically for 'ebay sales for others', and an expense for
the friend (I already have an income account for 'eBay Sales')? Should I
just ignore everything, except the amount I keep?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
