What is eBay?
eBay is an online auction site that allows anyone to buy or sell anything online. As a seller you can either fix a price for your goods or allow potential buyers to bid for them in an online auction, with the highest bidder winning. Sellers can specify whether items will be posted to the buyer (at the buyer’s expense) or, for bigger items, whether the buyer will collect.
Whether you’re selling a single item or the contents of your garage, it’s the ideal way to turn your unwanted goods into cash.
Charity listings are flagged up with a blue
and yellow ribbon
How does eBay for charity work?
As a seller you can sign up to the eBay for charity scheme, allowing you to automatically donate a portion of your takings to a charity of your choice. Think of it as your very own online charity shop.
What do I need to do?
Once you've decided what you want to sell, there are a number of steps you need to take:
- If you are not yet a registered eBay user you will first have to create a user account.
- The eBay for charity scheme is run by missionfish, a non-profit organisation. In order to donate a portion of your takings to Marie Curie Cancer Care you will also need to complete a simple one-off registration with missionfish.
- Once you have done this you can select Marie Curie Cancer Care as your charity of choice, and set what percentage of your takings should be donated.
- That’s it. You’re now ready to get selling.
