Hi, I'm new to eBay and would appreciate ideas/direction on my project. After an accident ended my professional career (and cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars) I won a grant to the UCLA Writing/Film program and wrote a novel there to the pre-determined demographics/marketing plan. It is upscale women's fiction set in France/California. I completed the program with a 4.2 GPA, had the novel professionally edited, have a website, do Web 2.0 marketing professionally, and have national...

Hello, is there a way to pick the charities or areas when purchasing items on ebay and paying for them at the checkout portion? I' like to donate to World Hunger and Animal Shelters, so, is there a way I can pick and choose these charities to support at checkout time? I know that in the selling area one can, but how about the buying area? Thanks. Somebody PLEASE answer!

If an item is auctioned or sold on ebay, with perhaps a return option offered and the buyer requests a refund, is there subroutines in the contribution system to prevent the unfunded contribution? I read on post where the individual understood that the contribution is drawn on the second monday after the sale closes.

Hi there....I just started donating to HUMANE SOCIETY on some of my listings. My first donation listing ended but I have no idea how it gets paid? Does ebay or Paypal do automatic deduction? Do I get billed? It's been 2 days since customer paid, but I have no idea how I'm supposed to kick in my donation percentage!!! Thanks for your help, Marianne

I THINK YOU SHOULD LET PEOPLE POST NEGATIVE AND NEUTRAL FEEDBACKS...I AM ONE TO ONLY LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGE...AND IF IT SAYS 100%....THEN I TRUST THE BUYER.... NOW THAT IT HAS CHANGED...PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO WASTE TIME THAT IS VALUABLE AND WAIT FOR 7 DAYS BEFORE THEY CAN RE-LIST THEIR ITEMS... PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION SO EBAY WILL BE MORE OF A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH.. ONLY SERIOUS PEOPLE ONLY....IF YOU DON'T PLAN TO PAY STAY OFF OF EBAY

I set it up so that my ebay fees and my donations from Giving Works auctions will come out of my paypal account. If the item sells, will the selling price of my item be credited to paypal first, then the donation taken out of paypal after that? Or will the selling price show up in my paypal with the donation percentage already taken out?? Is all the donation money taken out once a month or as sales occur? If once a month, is it at the same time as my ebay fees? Thanks

I recently made an eBay purchase and when I was directed to my PayPal invoice it gave me an option to add $1.00 donation to an animal shelter. I asked the seller how it got there and she didn't know. I would like to add that option at my checkout. Does anyone know how I do that?
