Guidelines for eBay for Charity listings
eBay has selected MissionFish, a UK registered charity and licensed non-profit service of the Points of Light Foundation, to serve as the dedicated solution provider for eBay for Charity. MissionFish's valuable service and support includes: powering the charity directory for eBay for Charity; verifying that charities are eligible for this programme; collecting and disbursing sellers' donations; collecting and disbursing GiftAid, when applicable; and tracking donations online.
Sellers may only list with eBay for Charity if they:
- Have JavaScript enabled in their browsers when using the eBay Sell Your Item form.
- Register with MissionFish and maintain an account in good standing.
- Agree to donate at least 10% of the final sale price or £2 - whichever is greater - to a charity listed in the charity directory if the item sells.
Note: The £2 minimum donation requirement applies per listing, not per item, and does not apply to charities selling items on their own behalf ("Direct Selling").
- Select PayPal or credit card as one of the buyer payment options.
Note: This is not required for listings in the Motors category or for "Direct Selling".
- Note: The charity that you select has the right to request an item cancellation if they prefer not to benefit from your listing.
eBay for Charity listings are:
- Differentiated with a distinctive ribbon icon, as well as information about the donation and benefiting charity in the item description.
- Included within specialised charity search functionality.
