eBay Giving Works Fee Credit Policy

You can support your favorite cause by participating in the eBay Giving Works program. Donate 10% to 100% of the final sale price of an item to a certified nonprofit organization. Nonprofit organizations can also participate in eBay Giving Works.

Listings stand out with a distinctive charity ribbon, and receive added visibility through specialized search functionality. Learn more about eBay Giving Works.

In the spirit of giving, eBay rewards your generosity by offering the eBay Giving Works Fee Credit Policy.* When you create a listing with eBay Giving Works and that item sells, eBay will credit the Insertion and Final Value Fees back to you, equal to the percentage of the final sale price that you elected to donate.
