It's easy to support your favourite charity on eBay, even if you're not selling an item. Take a look at the other ways you can make a difference whilst doing what you do every day on eBay.

Buy a charity item

You can support charities when shopping by buying items marked with the eBay for Charity ribbon . When you see the ribbon you'll known that some or all of what you pay will go to charity. To find out more and to start shopping visit our Shopping Page.

Donate at checkout

When you pay through eBay Checkout for an item you've won, you have the option to add a small donation to a featured charity. By adding a little extra to your purchase, you can support a good cause when you shop on eBay.

You can choose which charity (or charities) you see in eBay Checkout on the "My Favourite Charities" page within your Donation Account.

Your donation will be collected and delivered by MissionFish, eBay's partner charity. Note that your donation will appear as a separate transaction, paid to MissionFish, in your PayPal account.
