Hmm, something else must have happened there I think. I sold considerably more than $1,000 on eBay and through a message forum directly and never received anything from either one.

I didn't come close to that level. I left out one detail... It is PayPal
that sends the document to you if you process the payments through PayPal.
I probably sold a little less than $1K worth of stuff.? I don't know if
PayPal has minimal thresholds or not.

They don't do this unless you cross a certain threshold of sales. You have
to BOTH sell more than $20,000.00 worth of goods AND have more than 200
sales transactions or they do not do this. If you don't hit both of these
marks they send nothing.

As a frequent user of eBay, just keep in mind that whoever administers that
will get a tax document shortly after the year is over and it will be
treated as income.

Stefan's eBay plan is brilliantly simple!
But I say it should be extended to $200, so there are ample funds for
the eBay and PayPal fees and other administrative costs (such as a nice
lunch for Dennis and his wife, etc).
Do not give any accounting of the funds other than to say the first year
is paid for.
Forget the list of donors and forget giving credit to anyone who
contributed.
If anyone requires a 'pat on the back', or any kind of accounting, then
that person should not contribute anything, and just say he did if it
makes him feel better.
Then when the time nears for the second year payment to Groups.IO do it
again for double whatever the Groups.IO charges are at that time.

Maybe you can simply sell 150 "contributing memberships" on Ebay as $1
buy it now items and if someone wants to donate say $10 they can just
pick up 10 pcs? This would cap the funds coming in and almost
auto-generate a list.
Patreon or any of the countless gofundme type of sites would likely
work too, but I don't really want to singn up somewhere new. I expect
most members use Ebay already.
I don't think anyone is too concerned about fees or what happens to
excess money, the goal is to reimburse you with the least hassle for
you, but I understand why you do not want to be saddled with a large
sum that you don't know what to do with.
