eBay Giving Works offers another way to make a
charitable contribution by selling your used computers, cell phones and consumer
electronics. Through eBay Giving Works, when you list an item on
eBay, you can donate part or all of the final sale price to the
nonprofit of your choice. Your listing will be marked with special
features and information about your donation commitment, giving
buyers additional confidence and incentive to purchase. |
Donating through eBay Giving Works involves selling on eBay, so you may
want to take advantage of some of the selling tools on eBay’s Selling Zones.
