Sell on eBay for charity

Whoever you are, everyone's got something to give! Here's how to start...

Step 1

Sign in or register on the eBay website.

Step 2

Go to the Sell Your Item page.

Step 3

Follow the listing process, choosing your listing category (or categories) and writing a title and description for your item. You can find some great tips for successful listings on the eBay website - click here.

Step 4

In the "Pictures & Details" section, click the "Add" link in the area titled "Donate percentage of sale to charity" and select MS Trust from the charity directory.

Step 5

If this is your first eBay for Charity listing, you will be prompted to create a MissionFish account.

Step 6

Set your donation percentage (10%-100% of the final sale price). If your item sells, a £2 minimum donation is required. eBay will donate the same percentage of its final value fees as you donate of your final selling price.

Step 7

Enter your payment and postage options (note: payment options must include either PayPal or credit card). Double check your listing and complete the process - keep your fingers crossed for lots of bids!

Step 8

After your item sells, you collect payment from the buyer as usual. MissionFish will then contact you to collect your charity donation and will forward it to us (minus a deduction to cover costs). MissionFish also collects and delivers Gift Aid on your donation, if you have made a Gift Aid declaration.
