eBay have updated their eBay for Charity Terms and Conditions and simplified the donation process, making it faster and easier for you to get your contributions to charity. This means you can now automate your donations by having them deducted from your total sale, instead of managing monthly invoices. The donation amount is automatically sent to PayPal Giving Fund, who help get it to your chosen charity faster.
To start automating your donations in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, just edit any existing listings created before the 31st of October, 2024, where you’ve chosen to donate a portion to charity. For any listings created after this date, your donations will already be automated.
- Save time: Instead of having to manually transfer your donations every month, we’ll automatically collect and send the amount when your buyer pays for the item. This means your donations will get to your chosen charity faster, saving you the hassle.
- Policy compliance: Updating your existing listings will ensure your contributions are sent automatically, and in line with our Terms and Conditions, avoiding any disruptions to your donations.
- Increased donations: The automated process will reduce the amount of unpaid donations, ultimately resulting in the charity receiving funds as promised.
- Build trust: Buyers will have more confidence when shopping, knowing their money is being sent straight to the charity.
