Note this is for smaller things. All the bigger things I just sell locally, but I have used eBay for non-bike stuff with success. I got a 1099, but it was below cost sales so it is a non-issue. The main problem I have had is selling really common things like iPads etc. Lots of scummy buyers trying to scam out there. The more obscure the item is the less you have to worry about scum buyers.
Unless you have LOTS of deductions, the 2018 tax law changes make charitable donations a no start for normal people.
