Selling items on eBay is a great way to help raise funds for charity. However, to ensure sellers and their nominated charities are protected, we have rules that must be followed when listing items for sale that benefit charitable organisations.
What is the policy?
Sellers can use eBay for Charity when:
- The eBay for Charity Seller Terms and Conditions - opens in new window or tab are accepted and the account is kept in good standing
- If the item sells, it is agreed that at least 10% of the final sale price is donated to the organisation selected from the Charity Search - opens in new window or tab at the time of listing
- Payment is accepted under the Payment methods policy - opens in new window or tab
- Listings are not in the Real Estate categories
- Items listed are not Prohibited or restricted items - opens in new window or tab
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.
