George with mum

George and his mum

Thrill-seeking George was so excited to be hurtling down a mountain in a toboggan, that he spoke for the first time in months. Batten Disease had cruelly taken his voice, his mobility, and his independence. But his wish, quite literally put the world at his feet.

As his mum Claire explained: “I asked: ‘Are you having fun?’ He replied: ‘Yes!’ For the first time in over a year my son spoke. It was such a magical moment that I will never forget, and the wish brought that out of him. Make-A-Wish gives poorly children a moment of escapism from the pain, sadness and challenges they deal with every day, and that’s priceless."

George sadly died in 2019 after ticking off much of his ‘bucket and spade list’.

When you sell on eBay you can choose to donate between 10-100% of the value to Make-A-Wish. eBay will match your donations up to £15,000.

How can I take part?

It’s very simple. When listing an item on eBay.co.uk, click ‘Donate a portion to charity’ in the listing flow, select 'Make-A-Wish UK’ from the dropdown and pick your donation percentage before finalising your listing. At eBay, we call this Community Selling.

What sort of things can I sell?

You can donate part of your sale to charity when you sell on eBay. However, there are some limitations on what items or categories can be included in an eBay for Charity listing. For more information, see here.

Is eBay donating to Make-A-Wish UK as part of the campaign?

eBay is matching seller donations up to £15,000 to Make-A-Wish UK through Community Selling during the campaign on eBay between 15 October - 12 November 2021.

When do I need to have donated by?

You must have completed your sale via Community Selling by 23:59:59 on 12 November 2021 for your donation to be matched by eBay, so be mindful of the duration of your auction listing.

Any donation after this date will still be sent to Make-A-Wish UK, as is the usual process with Community Selling, and which you can do all year round.

What if I want to rescind my donation, cancel my sale or the buyer returns the item?

It may be possible to rescind your donation. You can learn more about this, and what happens if a buyer doesn’t pay for the item, here.

When will Make-A-Wish UK receive the funds?

Make-A-Wish UK will receive your donation within 21 days of your sale completing, and after the buyer has paid. Our partners at PayPal Giving Fund will automatically send the donation to your selected charity and send you a donation receipt.

Make-A-Wish UK is a registered charity in England and Wales (no 295672) and Scotland (SC037479)
