Are you an eBay seller? Sales on eBay can now benefit the SPCA of Northern Virginia. Individuals who sell items on eBay can now donate from 10 percent to 100 percent of the final sales price to help us rescue and find homes for abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats.
The donations are being made through MissionFish, a nonprofit organization specializing in online charitable auctions. Items for sale will be posted through MissionFish, and they will also appear on all other listings on eBay.
Items will be identified on eBay as Giving Works items, and marked with a charity ribbon icon so buyers will know they are supporting a good cause. In fact, buyers tend to trust charity sellers more and these items sell for more than non-charity listings. In addition, Giving Works items appear in three eBay categories for the price of one: the category one selects, the eBay Giving Works category and on the MissionFish nonprofit homepage.
To take advantage of this new donation opportunity:
- Visit MissionFish
- Register an account
- Choose an item to sell
- Write an item title and description
- List your item through MissionFish and indicate that it will benefit "SPCA of Northern Virginia"
- Complete your transaction (MissionFish collects your donation and passes it on to us)
