Raising money for your favorite charity through
eBay auctions is fun and easy! Here's how you can support your favorite charity!
Sign up as an eBay buyer or eBay seller with eBay -
use the convenient
box above.
Anyone can register to sell items with ebay. An individual or business not related to the charity can list goods, and direct the proceeds to the charity. The charity itself can also create listings and sell on ebay.
Sign up with PayPal. Use the handy link above to register for a personal or merchant PayPal account. It's quick and easy - here's a tip for signing up with PayPal - have your check book handy. You'll need your routing number and checking account number. Why? That's where your money will be sent at the close of the auction! When you register, PayPal will send a small amount of money, less than $1.00, to your checking account. When you see it come through, in 3 - 5 days, go back to PayPal, sign in, and let them know the amount of money that was transferred! It'll be something like seventeen cents, or forty three cents, some small and random number. That's it! Merchants - get ready to make your customers happy! People love to shop, and they're used to paying by PayPal! If you meet your customer expectations, you'll have satisfied customers! That's the secret to repeat business!

Let's practice with
with one of the best charities - Habitat for Humanity!
First, select which branch of Habitat for Humanity you'd like to support through your listing with
eBay. The list with
is growing all the time, so if you don't see the branch of Habitat for Humanity listed below, please browse through the list that
provides. If your favorite charity is not already signed up with MissionFish, have them follow the links through
and sign up. They'll need to have their bank account info handy, as the proceeds will be a direct deposit. I suggest you have the charity go to the link to sign up, and print out the form, and fill it out on paper before giving it a shot on the computer. The system won't allow you to save a halfway processed application. They'll also need their mission statement and a logo to upload.
