How does it work?
Don’t know how everything links together? Every eBay for Charity item sold makes a difference, as a percentage of the proceeds will go to charity. Here's how it all works:
eBay sellers
Anyone selling on eBay can list an eBay for Charity item and donate a percentage to charity.
-
The seller lists an item as normal (using 'Advanced Sell'), choosing a charity and the % to donate.
-
The item sells. The seller receives payment from the buyer (and a matching % fee credit from eBay.)
-
MissionFish collects the donation from the seller. The payment method on file with eBay is used unless the seller has chosen otherwise.
-
If the seller ticked the Gift Aid box, MissionFish claims Gift Aid for the charity.
-
After a short period to ensure all has gone through successfully, the donation and Gift Aid is transferred to the chosen charity (minus a small deduction to cover administrative costs incurred by MissionFish).
Charities
Some eBay for Charity items are sold directly by charities themselves.
-
The charity registers with eBay for Charity through MissionFish.
-
The charity sets up an eBay seller’s account and adds their eBay ID as a “Direct Seller” in their MissionFish account, linking the two.
-
The charity lists an item, choosing itself as the benefiting charity and 100% donation level.
-
The item sells, and the charity receives payment from the buyer and a fee credit from eBay.
-
The charity keeps the money to spend on furthering its work.
