- Sell on eBay and support Epilepsy Research UK
We have teamed up with eBay and MissionFish
to enable our supporters to sell items on
eBay and donate the proceeds to Epilepsy Research UK.
Whether you're a new or experienced seller,
eBay for Charity makes sense:
You control what you give and your gift
goes further
You can give between 10% and 100% of the
final sale price from anything you sell
(a £2 minimum donation applies). If
your item sells, eBay will match your generosity
and donate the same percentage of the final
value fee as the seller donates of the final
selling price. You can also Gift Aid your
donation automatically online.
It's easy to use
Any seller can donate to Epilepsy Research UK
while listing an item on eBay. The option
to donate is displayed in the Pricing
& Duration section of the Sell Your
Item form and is also available through
Turbo
Lister. You can sell in almost any category
of items - from Automotive to Toys &
Games - and donate a portion through eBay
for Charity.
Your listings stand out
This ribbon
appears in the title bar of your item and
in search results, allowing buyers to easily
identify your listing as an authentic eBay
for Charity item. Your eBay for Charity
listing will also include information about
us and what percentage you've
chosen to donate.
In addition, buyers can find your item
in three areas: the category you selected,
on the eBay for Charity hub and on our MissionFish
homepage!
All you need to get started is an eBay
seller account and an item to sell.
Start selling on eBay
If you are not already registered on eBay,
you need to create
an account. If you've used eBay before,
sign into your eBay account and click "sell"
to list an item, just as you normally do.
Choose to donate
In the Pricing & Duration section of
the Sell Your Item form, choose "Donate
a percentage of sale to charity" to
launch the eBay for Charity feature.
Select a charity and donation percentage
Select Epilepsy Research UK
in the MissionFish charity directory. If
you're a new eBay for Charity user, you'll
have to register with MissionFish before
you finish. Then choose how much of your
final sale price (10%-100%) you would like
to donate. A £2 minimum donation applies.
Finish your listing
Once you selected Epilepsy Research UK to benefit
from your listing, review your listing details
and submit it.
What happens next?
When your listing goes live on eBay, MissionFish
let us know that you will be making a donation
to us if your item sells.
When your item sells, complete your transaction
with the winning bidder as usual. MissionFish
will remind you to pay your donation through
your MissionFish account. If you forget
to pay the donation, they will collect it
by charging your credit card (two weeks
after the auction closes). Once they've
received your donation, they will pass it
on to us.
