0-I bougth trees from Ebay, and USDA came to my house and confiscated the plants.  Will I get into trouble for selling scions here?
1-Put the listing to sell here.
2-List the item name and cultivar.
3-List the price per item or the bundle price.
4-Set criteria such as minimum purchase, destinations you don't want to ship to, disclaimer, one week sale only, local pickup only, etc...
5-set mailing cost such as priority or first class and their prices.

Declaration of scions and seeds: “wood carvings” “wooden beads” 😂 as for #10 on annona/mango scions I prefer the scions sent wrapped in parafilm/buddy tape, the tape seals in the natural moisture of the cutting. Sending in moist paper towel you run a greater risk of the scions rotting. This is the same as taking cuttings after rain, wrapping in parafilm and grafting wet wood = rot. #11 pick up envelopes ahead of time to spend less time at post office, #16 is icing on the cake communication is key 👍

11  You should mail them in a priority mail flat rate box small.  That way the scions won't get damaged.  That is what all of the scions I have received have been sent in.

I have mailed scions, seeds, and plants to share and have had no issues declaring the items with ups.  I think it is more of an issue when these items are mailed into California or other states with strict agricultural regulations, but maybe less so when they’re from California?  Even sent items to Florida with no issues.
