The eBay Fund Raising Campaign
EBay is an online auction site that lists items for sale
around the world. A lot of countries will have their own eBay listings where
you can search pages from your own region; however they can also list items
from abroad. The eBay fund raising campaign means that you can list some of
your items and donate either all or part of the proceeds to your desired
charity. It also means that charities can have their own listings to auction
off their own goods.
How the EBay Fund Raising Campaign Works
The eBay fund raising campaign is known as the ‘eBay Giving
Works’ project which works directly with an organizational 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 cannot find your charity that you wish to donate to
you are able to approach ‘Mission Fish’ and ask them to approach the charity in
question about joining eBay fund raising. Normally these charities are only too
happy to receive whatever donations they can so do not think that because yours
is not listed you are unable to make donations to them. As with any other
donation that 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.
Your normal eBay fees will be applied to your auction sale item.
EBay fund raising is a great way for you to make donations
to your favourite charity. This money goes a long way to help disadvantaged
people and is also ploughed into research which makes life changing discoveries
all the time. It is a simple program to sign up to and the benefits are long
lasting.
