the option to donate between 10-100% of their sales to organizations
like Feeding America, Direct Relief, and The Opportunity Fund. To
help you get started, eBay is currently offering 200 additional free
listings per month through July.
-- Donate:
-- Give at Checkout: When you purchase on eBay via PayPal, you can
donate between $1 and $25 during checkout. Each week eBay is
featuring a different charity, working on the relief efforts.
-- Gifts That Give Back: You can also buy a direct charitable donation
when you're shopping on eBay. These donations range in value, from
$5 to $100, and benefit Feeding America, Direct Relief, The
Opportunity Fund and many more.

one-of-a-kind collectibles to electronics and celebrity memorabilia.
