Buy or sell on eBay to support the MS Trust!


You can now buy or sell items on eBay, the world's biggest auction site, for the MS Trust! The eBay for Charity scheme means sellers can donate a percentage of their sale price to charity and buyers can be reassured that their money is going to a worthy cause.

You can choose to donate between 10% to 100% of the sale price of your item and eBay will waive the same percentage of its basic insertion and final value fees. You can also choose to Gift Aid your donation if you are a UK taxpayer.

The little ribbon detail that eBay attached to the listing, plus the box of information about the MS Trust, definitely helped the item sell for more. A lot of people emailed me saying they would rather buy and support a charity. It's no coincidence is it that out of 31 items listed, the one with the charity listing is the only one with a bid on it!
