    What is a good percentage for mark up?

    Depends how much you value your work. I started by doing that as well, but found out it's much much quicker to set a mark up tag (let's say $5) to add to the price of each product when editing the csv. Of course that will vary depending on other factors, how big the product is, how much time it took me to build it, etc.
    It is a much simpler system because if you want to go down the % route, you have to calculate that yourself each time for each product, and that get tedious fast. But in the end it boils down to how much you value the work you made.

    I know it may not be of huge help, but sometimes the best teacher is experience by trial and error.

    Basically the same thing, you can edit it using Google if it doesn't open correctly using Excel or Office.
