We’re please to announce the following changes to the eBay for Charity programme that we hope will make it easier for you to raise money for your favourite causes. Whether you’re an organisation, a charity or an individual who wants to raise some cash for a cause close to your heart, eBay for Charity can help raise funds and generate awareness through trading on eBay.co.uk.



First change:
eBay will now include basic insertion fees and final-value fees in the policy. Previously, only final-value fees were included.


Second change:
eBay’s fee credit, which now applies to both of these fees, will be given to sellers using the eBay for Charity programme. Previously, eBay donated a proportion of the final-value fees to the nominated charity, matching the percentage of the sale price donated by the seller.


How it works for eBay sellers
When you sell an item on eBay.co.uk and donate a percentage to a favourite charity through the eBay for Charity programme, you’re eligible for the eBay fee credit. The basic selling fees will be credited back to you according to the level of your donation. For example, if you donate 50% of the sale price to charity, we’ll give you a 50% credit on your basic insertion and final value fees. You’ll see this credit appear on your first invoice after the item sells.


How it works for charities
When a Charity Direct Seller lists an item on eBay.co.uk through eBay for Charity, the seller is eligible for the eBay fee credit. eBay will credit 100% of the basic insertion and final value fees back to the seller on the first invoice after the item sells. Previously, the fees were donated to the charity once a quarter.
