You can support your favorite cause by participating in the eBay Giving Works program. Donate 10% to 100% (or at least 1% for eBay Motors vehicle sales) of the final sale price of an item to a certified nonprofit organization. In the spirit of giving, eBay rewards your generosity by offering an eBay Giving Works fee credit.

When you create a listing with eBay Giving Works and that item sells, eBay will credit the insertion and final value fees back to you, equal to the percentage of the final sale price that you chose to donate.
