From what I've been told, in some places opening an Etsy shops is opening a legitimate business so there can be a lot of steps you need to take to be in the clear. If you may go that route definitely do a lot of research into it first. Fees are reasonable for a business but if you have to do more irl due to local laws it probably wouldn't be worth it. Though honestly if you just want to sell off toys this once/rarely I wouldn't really suggest it. Only vintage items are allowed on Etsy if they're not handmade and the pool of buyers is much more limited.
Some people use eCrater. I don't have much experience with it but it seems easy enough to set up!
Some people prefer to buy piece by piece and some in lots, so it really depends...
I will look into it!

I have read a bit about that as well, seems a bit crazy. I am looking to sell pretty much just this once so the local listing sites are probably better.
Thanks to both of you, definitely have narrowed it down a bit ^.^
