You know those mini box variety cereal packs? They are great but don't offer a lot of selection of variety. I would buy every cereal on the shelf and let buyers choose which cereals they want in the variety pack.

I wouldn't buy cereal from ebay.

Also if you could put together your own variety pack by buying cereals from the store, why couldn't they just buy those cereals themselves? Unless your buying in bulk and getting them cheap at Sam's Club or something, in order to make a profit you would have to sell for more than what the cereal cost and then there's the cost to ship it, and ebay likely has to get a cut of the profit too, so it seems to me that it would be cheaper for the customer to just make their own variety packs.

It's hard to make a good profit from such cheap items as packages of cereal on ebay. The shipping costs will be so severe that nobody wants to buy because it's much cheaper to just buy all the packages from a local store and mix it up yourself.
