Ready to get started?

New to eBay for Charity? Here’s how it works:

1. Once you’re ready to sell your item, go to the Sell hub and select ‘Advanced Sell’.
2. In the listing form, select a charity to support and the percentage (10%-100%) of your final selling price that you'd like to donate. You can boost your donations by 28% by making a Gift Aid declaration.

Note: You’ll be asked to accept the eBay for Charity terms and conditions.

3. After your item sells and you’ve received payment from the buyer, MissionFish (eBay's partner charity) will automatically collect the donation from you.

Note: The minimum donation is £1 per listing.
