Thanks @okieheart. You are more concise than I am. I have to use as many words as possible. Rolling on the floor laughing
This is what I was typing while you were responding.

You can send a check, money order or well concealed cash to me after the swap ends. You send it with your package of seeds that people selected from the list you add. Your questions about adding seeds are addressed in this thread: The thread "Important Information and Instructions" in 2nd Annual "Not from the Seed Rack Seed Swap" Any seeds, all members.
A link to Dave's swap instructions tutorial is in there too.

The biggest difference this year from last is the cost of postage. This year the postage amounts assumes you want first class unless you specify otherwise. That information is in the opening page of this swap.

To package seeds you can use ziplock baggies like the ones you purchase in craft stores for beads, make your own paper ones, or use any "found" or purchased packaging you like. I often use old seed catalogs to make easy origami packets. I found instructions for a similar packet here: https://gardenvariety.life/ori...
The number of seeds per packet is up to you based on what you think people will want. Because the form you use to list your seeds on asks you to specify the number of seeds it is up to the person spending their "dibs" to determine if the number you offer is worth it.

Last year thousands of packets changed hands. 3059 unique seed types were offered. Most people claimed more seeds than they "sold". The number of packs each person offered last year ranged from 5 to 341. 161 was the greatest number of packets any particular individual claimed, most were in the 60-90 packet range.

If you still have questions after reading over the information in the linked thread, please ask again.
