EBay is an online auction site that lists items for sale around the world. You can search eBay listings for auction items in specific countries or search listings from abroad. What an eBay fund raising campaign means is that you can list your items and donate either all or part of the proceeds to your desired charity. Charities can also have their own listings to auction off their own goods.

How the EBay Fund Raising Campaign Works

Also known as the ‘eBay Giving Works’ project, the eBay fund raising campaign works directly with an organization called ‘Mission Fish’ which is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping raise funds for charities. If you decide that you would like to help this program, your listing will appear as normal on the eBay site. However the ‘Mission Fish’ logo, a small blue and yellow ribbon, will appear next to it. This means that part of or all of the proceeds of this sale will be donated to charity.

If you can’t find a charity that you want to donate to you can contact ‘Mission Fish’ and ask them to approach the charity in question about joining eBay fund raising. Generally these charities are only too happy to receive whatever donations they can so don’t think that just because yours is not listed you are unable to make donations to them. As with any other donation you make any that are listed for eBay fund raising can be issued with a receipt from ‘Mission Fish’.

The fees that apply to normal trading also apply to eBay fund raising. ‘Mission Fish’ will take their operating costs from your donation. Even though they are a non-profit organization they still have their own costs that need to be met in order for them to keep running. These fees will not affect you however, as they will be taken directly from the donation.

EBay fund raising is a great way for you to make contributions to your favorite charity. This money goes a long way to help disadvantaged people and is also used for research that makes life changing discoveries all the time. It is a simple program to sign up to and the benefits are long lasting.
