  • eBay Giving Works makes it possible for your nonprofit to harness the incredible fundraising potential held by the billions of dollars in trade that takes place each year in the worlds largest e-commerce platform.
  • Community Selling – a “win-win” for nonprofits and sellers

  • eBay sellers are encouraged to give a percentage of their proceeds to a nonprofit certified by MissionFish each and every time they list an item for sale. Participating sellers are rewarded for their generosity with special eBay Giving Works features that help them get more bids and higher sale prices. The nonprofit receives recognition in the listing and benefits from the seller’s success.
