    The problem is that there is a issue with the charity accepitng electronic payments it seems to be taking forever.

    BTW I am not involved in setting it up.

    They should not have any trouble setting up a PayPal account.

    Have they registered with Mission Fish? Mission Fish will really help them out and there is a whole team devoted to Ebay for Charity within Ebay. I've been to lots of seminars run by them and they are very helpful. They work closely with Mission Fish too so between them they should get all the help they need

    I would recommend the charity gets involved with the Association of Charity Shops who help with all aspects of charity retailing. They are wonderful.

    They run a conference in July too which has seminars on ebay amongst other aspects. They start off very basic too so would be very very helpful

    There's an 'eBay for charity' forum among the eBay discussion forums at eBay community. MissionFish staff often answer questions posted there.
