Open here.
One random question: If offered the services 'causemommysaid' and Mrs Bissli mentioned in their posts, how much would you pay for such services?
Of course I have a price in mind, but I would be interested to hear others opinion.
Thank you!

The person I know who does this doesn't charge a specific fee. She just puts together a package for the clients that includes all expenses plus a profit for her. The profit probably varies based on the client's needs.

I agree with MaBelleVie. That's the way to do it (hide your fee in the package). For example, I searched a JetBlue Getaway the other day. It said that flights to Orlando for my family, plus a week in a hotel, came out to around $2000. I said to myself - wow, that's awesome, I would love to book that trip. I didn't say - well, how much were the flights, and how much is the hotel, and what is JetBlue's profit from the deal?

Similarly, if you are out of the US, let's say for example Rome. We paid a fortune for food, and another fortune for tours. But it was worth it because this was a big trip of ours. Let's say you say - I'll book all of your food, tours, and train rides for three days, for $750. You hide $100 as fees. That might work?

Ok, but people would like to know how much they would be paying for the extra service, no?
To see if it's even worth for them or not.

My sil does this for people in London. Its a good business. But you have to know how to deal with difficult people so you should cover yourself legally.

A lot of people use the service cause they don't have internet.

Good luck.

Thank you, but I don't understand what difficult people have to do with covering myself legally?
I know there are difficult people, I hope to be able to deal with them with patience and understanding.

No. That's not the clientele you're dealing with.
