I know zero about selling clothes.
I do know how to buy them
I also don't want to hang around for 7 days waiting for an auction to finish...I need them now...to quote a famous member "the majority" of buyers would agree with me.
12 of your last 14 sales have ended with one bid.
Why not throw a few bucks on to the price of your items & list as BIN?...just a suggestion
Best regards.
This would be the other person's choice, i would think - they can either say that's an acceptable rate, even if begrudgingly, or they can say it's not.
Personally I wouldn't enter in to any agreements, accept stock or do any work before advising someone of the costs - much better for someone to commit after they know how much they'll be paying you. I know you said you discussed with her already, but either they weren't listening or didn't grasp it was 50% of the nett revenue and not 50% of the gross revenue - to counter people like that, send them written confirmation of the agreement after discussing with them through whichever way you normally do, and include a sample of what they would get from the sale of an $X item.
eg (and for the sake of ease, I'll assume postage is not included in the gross revenue, but that the fee on postage is included in the costs deducted to get the nett revenue, I'm also using the pre-managed payments FVF because I can't remember the post-MP fee 
).
Sale of $50 item, with $10 postage
Less FVF of 10.9% ($6.54)
$50 - 6.54 = $43.46
$43.46 รท 2 = $21.73
Final payout figure to consignee* = $21.73
(Not sure if that's the right term - someone correct me if I am wrong, lol).

There's this thing called adrenaline and I've seen it in action on many auctions where a bidder bids a higher amount than what the item had as a BIN price, it must give a bidder so much satisfaction from winning the item (paying a lot more doesn't seem to even come into the equation) at a much higher price but it would make the sellers even more satisfied receiving more than they asked.
So some auctions are worth more for a seller than a BIN but hey each to their own.

Hold that thought...it will take a while to catch the horse & upsaddle.
Currently I take 50% + ebay fees from each sale.
In my B & M days, I took 20% commission on consignment of goods. Which was the going rate. I thought it still was. Does ebay make that rate too low?
I'm sure the owner of the plate, going for $5 with $15 postage, will be grateful to get their hands on their 50c profit.
Your postage on some items does appear to be a little on the high side IMO

Mister Speaker, Mister Speaker...Point of order.
How does the Honourable Minister for Stawkology know the plate has been consigned?
In addition the fiver is the starting price & may sell for much more (doubtful I know)
Opposition benches shot HEAR, HEAR & wave order papers.
