#========================================================

The posting percentage fee are setup in the post_percents.bill 
file in the accounting dir. In this file you will see the below 
example you can have as many lines as needed or just one line:

0.020:::0.00:::150.99
0.018:::151.00:::250.99
0.015:::251.00:::500.99
0.013:::501.00:::99999999.99

 percentage     from $      to $
   0.020       :::0.00    :::150.00


Then in the config.pl file in your auction dir you need 
to find this line below and turn it 'on'

#############################
# Auction start percentage fees 
# based off the starting bid
# off or on

$config{'postpercentage'} = 'on';

You have to create all the html for any posting percentage fees the script can not do this for you, in the fees.pl file and in the auction.pl file under the new and new2 subs find these lines:

<td WIDTH="54%" BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC">
<center><b><font size=+0 color="#000000">Insertion Fees</font></b></center>
</td>
</tr>

Now just past some thing like this under the above found lines:

<td WIDTH="46%" BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC" >
<center><b><font size=+0 color="#000000">Commissions</font></b></center>
</td>

<td WIDTH="54%" BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC">
<center><b><font size=+0 color="#000000">Posting percentage</font></b></center>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td WIDTH="46%"><b><font size=-1 color="#000000">Posting percentage commissions based of the posting starting bid.</font></b></td>

<td ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="54%"><font size=-1 color="#000000">0.00 to 150.99 = 2.0%<br>151.00 to 250.99 = 1.80%<br>251.00 to 500.99 = 1.5%<br>501.00 to 999999.99 = 1.3%</font></td>
