It is stupid to sell anything for $1 on ebay. For a low dollars sale like $1 ebay gets about 50% and so does paypal. If you use free postal boxes you still have to buy tape and burn your gasoline to take the package to the post office. You are probably paying the buyer to take it.

I sell things on ebay mostly to clean out my garage, attic, storage building, closes it is much better than a yard sale, it always sells and the buyer pays postage to get it. But I will not sell anything for less than $9.99 it is a waste of time. Small nickel and dime items I make grab boxes 50 to 100 items per box $9.99 plus $12.10 flat rate postage.

I did good for a couple of years selling caster beans. I have a 5 gallon bucket of caster beans. I don't like the RED caster plants as well as the GREEN caster plants. I think the moles are probably good for my garden but I don't like the tunnels in the yard it is hard to mow the grass.
