There is no such thing as a bonsai seed, these are scams. You aren't going to grow a miniature tree in a pot like this. Bonsai is an art form that takes years to get results (and is a very satisfying and rewarding process). This is a great way to have people give up on the hobby.
Takes a lot of time, effort, and luck to get seedlings into "bonsai trees" (in quotes because actual bonsai trees are supposed to start with a mature-ish plant, which is then pruned down to start training as a bonsai tree)
You can't put potting soil in cause it retains too much moisture which will root rot but you want almost a Sandy to loamy soil and then a drip dish to allow it to catch the excess water

I got the herb kit as a gift and they all grew. My favorite part was the nice wooden box tbh. I slapped on some linseed oil and still use it to hold garden hand tools.
If people are buying it for people with no experience because they don't recognize the scam of a product this is, it won't get used as they won't care for it for the time it takes to enjoy it.
If buying for yourself, and you want to feel good about "starting from scratch", go pluck a random seedling, get a pot and the appropriate soil.
As commenters say, anything can be a bonsai. I even have a tiny lemon "bonsai" tree with lemons on it...so you can even just take seeds the next time you get you water with lemon...bam! Free plant. Now that's a slick deal.
