holding fundraising events on eBay!
Why hold an online auction event?
Whether you hold fundraiser auctions today or not, an eBay Giving Works fundraising event can help your organization:
Offer donors a new way to get involved - and recruit their friends too.
Find new donors - in your community and around the world.
Raise your profile with media buzz.
Cut out the costs of holding an offline event.
Why hold your event with eBay Giving Works?
eBay has more buyers than any other charity auction site - and more than you can fit
in any ballroom.
More buyers means you have a better chance for higher sale prices.
No annual fee – and you get a credit on your basic selling fees.*
Get free promotion for your listings.*
Every listing is a linkable advertisement for your nonprofit.
* These are not available to regular eBay listings, only eBay Giving Works listings.
