Paying for eBay Giving Works items
eBay Giving Works listings are settled in exactly the same way as other eBay listings. The seller contacts the buyer - typically within three days after the listing has closed - receives payment from the buyer, and then ships the item.
Buyers do not make a separate payment for the donation amount - just pay the seller as usual. MissionFish will collect the donation from the seller and pass it on to the nonprofit.
There are no additional fees charged to buyers of eBay Giving Works items.
