If you want to see only eBay for Charity listings, visit eBay for Charity, where you can search for items by eBay category, by the cause you are interested in, or by charity.  Learn about finding a charity 

Buying an eBay for Charity item

If you win an eBay for Charity listing, pay the seller following their payment instructions (just like any eBay listing).

eBay has chosen MissionFish, a charity, to administer eBay for Charity. MissionFish will collect the donation from the seller and forward it to the charity.

Note: When you buy from a charity selling on its own behalf, you are paying the charity directly.
