The main trick with seeds is to press them firmly into the soil, that is almost more important than covering them. If they are not firm against the soil, they will rot.

Good to know.

I haven't had much luck with onion seeds either so this year I'm trying onion sets.

That will work, also plant a couple of big ones from the store and they will bloom and give you fresh seeds to try again next year, plus you will get 4 onions for each one you plant, they split into parts, LOL, don’t ask me how or why, but it happens.

One year my brother brought me about 20 pounds, that where not nice anymore, few were still fit to cook, but he said to plant them and they grew and split into more onions.
