I was pretty excited to do a poop weight test with the ultra awesome shipping scale that I got based on shortkid's recommendation. I had the weakest shit ever and only lost .1 of a pound on the poop. Anyway I weigh 180 now.
Tested 305 squat and 370 deadlift. Bench I may or may not be finally getting back into starting this week. It'll probably just be a slow climbing deload type thing until I hurt myself again. Stupid bench.
eBay fees are 10% of everything you sell. We have two scales -- one for larger things, another for smaller things. Our large scale is similar to this and our smaller one is like this
Salecalc implements the fees into their tool. I believe it's 10% to eBay, and $0.30+3% for paypal.. I don't remember the exact numbers for PP.
I've been thinking about this, and I'm not sure if my idea would work.
They have shipping scales that have detached readouts (which you need, since usually you're over/covering the readout. Like this:

The next step is you need the platform to be as big as possible. Normally these units have 4 pressure pads to read weight, so the platform just rests on these 4 things. My idea is to take a big piece of plywood (2.5x2.5'?), and attach the 4 pressure pads to the corners of the plywood. You'll have to account for the weight of the plywood, but most of these scales have "tare" functions anyway.
Then you have a platform you can roll onto that will show your weight. The only thing I don't know is if increasing the distance covered by the pressure pads would affect measurement. I'm assuming these are piezo triggers that simply vary resistance/voltage due to pressure, so the actual distance/wires involved wouldn't matter too much. Some extra wire and a solder gun would do the trick.
If I ever get down my project list, I'll try this out.
(I also once tried to do measurements with a hanging scale & pulleys. Too inaccurate, and a fairly clumsy idea)
