I've not sold quilting items on consignment/commission, but have sold other things that way and that's not how it usually works at all. They get X percent of the selling price, no matter what it is. Period. You can also set a floor, below which you will not sell it. Don't they have a written policy? Did you sign a contract? What they did is just not right!! If it upset you before, why didn't you specify that was not acceptable when you went back the second time? I'd get it out of there or have them commit, in writing, to a set percentage of the sale price, nothing more.
