Selling on eBay for Charity



Pah! The mysterious world of eBay doesn’t scare you. You’ve got a User ID, a Seller Account with your name on it, and you’re not afraid to use it!

There’s an art to selling though, so why not check out a few tips. And if you are an incy bit nervous about the whole selling process maybe have a recap.


Now Get That Car Boot Stuffed With Goodies and Set Up Your Stall in Cyberspace!

All you have to do is start the selling process on eBay like you normally would – choose the type of auction, give it a title, add your description, yadda, yadda, yadda.

The bit that’s different is when you get to the "Pictures & Details" section, you’ll see an area titled "Donate percentage of sale to charity".

Click the "Add" link just below this, and if you’ve never given to charity via eBay you’ll be transported on a journey of discovery.

To cut a long story short, you’ll be asked to register with MissionFish, a UK registered charity that handle all the admin for eBay. And if you’re happy with all their terms and conditions (keep that credit card handy as ever!) you’ll be able to select TeachAManToFish from their approved charities database, and donate a percentage of your sale to us - 100% being our favourite percentage!

It’s definitely worth spending a minute or two reviewing how the whole eBay for Charity thing works – click here.

And that’s it! Once you’re all signed up, it’s really just like selling anything on eBay, but with one extra drop down menu (the percentage choosing thing).

Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking part in this event!

The things you give away you’ll never miss – the education projects it’ll allow us to run though, will keep offering opportunities to students year after year, helping them to help themselves.
