Just looked up legality and Internet is telling me maybe because "Cottage food laws". News to me.
It depends on the locale. People already do this a ton on Facebook.
From what i've seen, on facebook its more of a you buy and they cook it so its ready when you get there, not, they cook it put it for sale and wait for bids.
Wouldn't it work the same way on eBay then?
Idk, it says "Cooked" so i assumed that it was that you cook then list it on ebay and wait for bids.
My guess is eBay is too dense to know how it would really work and people would do whatever makes sense.
Where I live does have "cottage food laws." You have to have a food handler's permit and pass an inspection. The types of permitted foods is restricted as well.
You can't sell anything that is time/temperature controlled for safety.
One example regulation is for sourdough starter. It must have a pH of 4 or less and that has to be laboratory certified.
