***eBay Giving Works Update: Sellers can now use PayPal!***

April 17, 2006 | 12:00PM PST/PT


Hi everyone! I'm Kristin Cunningham with eBay Giving Works, our dedicated program for charity listings. As you may know, eBay Giving Works, powered by MissionFish, offers you the opportunity to sell an item on the site and then donate between 10% and 100% of its final sale price to any one of more than 8,000 certified nonprofit organizations. And, of course, nonprofits can sell items using the program too. eBay Giving Works listings stand out in the eBay Marketplace with a special ribbon [http://pics.ebaystatic.com/aw/pics/i...con_16x16.gif], and donation information.

Sellers May Now PayPal Their eBay Giving Works Donations
Thanks to the teams at MissionFish and PayPal, sellers now have the option to fulfill their eBay Giving Works donation commitments by PayPal! When your eBay Giving Works listing closes, simply sign into your My MissionFish account to make your donation with PayPal. As always, if you do not make your donation by the second Monday after your listing ends, MissionFish will automatically charge the donation to the credit card you have on file with them.

If you do not have a PayPal account and want to take advantage of this new way to fulfill your eBay Giving Works donation commitments, sign up today at www.paypal.com [http://www.paypal.com/].
