 eBay Giving Works for Nonprofits
eBay Giving Works is an innovative program designed to put the power of the eBay Marketplace to work for nonprofit organizations. To date, more than $40 million has been raised for nonprofits through items sold on eBay.


You can fundraise through eBay Giving Works in two ways:
Community Selling Anyone can sell items on eBay and donate part or the entire final sale price to your nonprofit organization. Donations resulting from the sales of eBay Giving Works items will be collected and distributed to you, and tax receipts will be issued to the seller on your behalf.
Direct Selling Your nonprofit organization can list items for sale on eBay. You collect the proceeds from the buyers, and you are responsible for providing a tax receipt, if applicable.


Key benefits
  • Tap into a new source of funding and add to your supporter base.
  • Reinvigorate existing supporters and offer a new way for them to donate.
  • Turn in-kind gifts into unrestricted funding for your mission.
  • Reach a community of millions with your message and cause.
Now when someone lists an item through eBay Giving Works and that item sells, it will automatically qualify for the eBay Giving Works Fee Credit Policy!
