How would you like to support the causes most important to you-while giving a boost to your business at the same time? With eBay Giving Works, you can do just that. When you create a listing with eBay Giving Works, you have the opportunity to donate as little as 10% and as much as 100% of an item's final sale price to your favorite nonprofit organization. Strengthen your brand, attract new bidders, and increase customer loyalty, all while making a difference.

Cause marketing is a powerful way to differentiate your business, and eBay Giving Works makes it easy for you to do well by doing good.

eBay Giving Works listings tend to sell at higher final prices, because buyers are more willing to purchase and often pay more for items that benefit a nonprofit. You can enhance your buyers' trust and loyalty by aligning with a cause, and of course, you will receive a receipt for your tax-deductible donations.

Listings created with eBay Giving Works:

• Receive additional visibility through specialized search functionality reserved exclusively for eBay Giving Works listings.
• Stand out with a distinctive charity icon in the title bar of the listing both in search results and on the view item page, and donation information is displayed in the item description.
• If your eBay Giving Works listing sells, it will automatically qualify for the eBay Giving Works Fee Credit Policy.

Go to the Sell Your Item form on eBay. In the "Pictures & Details" section, click the "Add" link in the area titled "Donate percentage of sale."   Note: Your browser must be JavaScript enabled. Additionally, you cannot create eBay Giving Works listings in the Real Estate ad format or Mature Audiences category.

Select a certified organization from the nonprofit directory and designate your donation percentage (10%-100% of the final sale price). If this is your first eBay Giving Works listing, you will be prompted to create a MissionFish account, provide your credit card information to guarantee payment of your donation, and consent to terms in the MissionFish User Agreement.* If your item sells, a $5 minimum donation is required per transaction.

Select PayPal or a credit card as one of the buyer payment options in the "Enter Payment & Shipping" section.   Note: This is not required for listings in the Motors or Real Estate categories.

Complete the remainder of the Sell Your Item form and submit your listing.   Note: Your chosen nonprofit will be notified of your listing. If for some reason it would prefer not to be benefit from your listing, the organization has the right to request the listing be canceled.

*eBay has selected MissionFish to power eBay Giving Works. MissionFish is a nonprofit with five years of experience helping organizations fundraise through ecommerce.

Sending your donation

After your item sells, collect payment from the buyer as usual. MissionFish will send you an email notification that includes the exact donation amount due and payment instructions. If you do not fulfill your commitment by the second Monday after your listing ends, MissionFish will charge your credit card. MissionFish then forwards the gift (minus a small deduction to cover processing costs) to the designated nonprofit on the 25th of the second month after your listing has closed and issues you a tax receipt.
