It's a classic. Don't fall for it.

Not only is it a scam, it's called money laundering.
The scam works like this--you agree to accept money for the crooks. They tell you that you can keep 10% as a commission and then send them the rest via Western Union or Bank Wire. They'll claim they'll handle the delivery of the items.
Either they don't ship at all (which unravels pretty quickly since buyers want their items fast) or they use stolen credit cards to pay for items through Amazon, Sears, etc. When the fraud is uncovered, you will be asked to refund the money--which will be 100% of the funds (or more!), not just the 10% you kept.
