Charity and fundraising policy

Charity listings must use the eBay for Charity feature.

Policy overview

eBay helps individuals and organisations raise funds for charity. When you list an item through our dedicated programme, eBay for Charity, you can give all or part of the proceeds to charity.

eBay for Charity listings are:

  • Differentiated with a distinctive ribbon icon, and include information about the donation and benefiting charity in the item description.
  • Included within specialised charity search functionality.

What are the guidelines?

eBay for Charity listings

You can list with eBay for Charity if you:

  • Accept the eBay for Charity terms and conditions.
  • Agree to donate at least 10% of the final sale price to a charity listed in the Charity Search if the item sells
    • Note: The charity that you select has the right to request an item cancellation if they prefer not to benefit from your listing.

Activity on eBay is required to follow this policy, the eBay User Agreement and all applicable laws, as well as respect the rights of third parties. If it doesn’t, eBay may take action consistent with applicable laws and the eBay User Agreement, and may even be legally required to do so. Such actions may include, as an example only: Removing the listing or other content, issuing a warning, restricting activity or account suspension.

Why does eBay have this policy?

This policy makes charitable listing easy and safe, so buyers and sellers can be sure their donations reach their intended charity.
