Can you list an item for buy it now $0.00?

Instead of throwing out items in the trash, can you give them away by listing them at $0.00?

I believe the minimum is 1 cent.

Would zero vs. one cent sway your decision?

[chapeau-noir]

Go for the gold! Grab life by the loins! List it for 1 cent.

ETA: Or how about donating rather than adding to our increasing landfill?

     I did a test and while you cannot use $0 as others mentioned you can list for $.01. However, I would not advise using free shipping.

If all your stuff is media @scott-vf why not donate to the local library? They often accept media for their book sales.

IIRC, the minimum price for a fixed price listing is 99 cents, so if one cent doesn't work  you could try that.

Maybe you're better starting an auction at 1c.  Never know what that junk is worth.  Of course, add shipping extra.

How much would eBay's final value fee be on your one cent sale?

Who pays shipping?

Do you have no other outlet like Goodwill or other thrift stores? Advertise freebies in your local paper?

Put it out on the curb with a sign "FREE"? 

[ogbuggiefan]

Depends on how much the shipping cost will be. 

[ogbuggiefan]

You can always donate it to the Goodwill or a Rescue Mission. 

[ogbuggiefan]

You are right. Like they say, Another man's junk is another man's treasure.

     Interesting thought here. Obviously eBay is going to charge the FVF on the total and if the buyer is paying retail shipping cost which is more than the actual in most cases that extra is going to cover the eBay fee. Now we get to the end of the year and seller sells 100 items at $.01 but buyers have paid over $600 in shipping costs so seller has potentially exceeded the 1099 reporting threshold and receives a 1099 so income needs to be reported on taxes. Not a major problem but if the buyer has receipts for any of the items they sold at a loss this has the potential to be a major write off that may help offset any other tax liabilities. Of course the IRS is going to limit the seller to the number of years they can do that before they classify them as a hobby seller.

That's a longstanding feature in the area where I live, especially for larger items like furniture or those big plastic Little Tykes tables, etc.  Once in a while the local Facebook or Nextdoor group will have a forlorn post regarding something that somebody left on their front lawn which got taken accidentally as a presumed giveaway!  The cultural norm is to have a sign which says "Free. Do not take the table." I think it evolved out of people who actually had yard sales, then put the leftovers out for free.

I've been giving away stuff on FB marketplace.  Works great!
