Good Morning! We need help for our little cat, Rusty. A few weeks ago, my aunt's 9 year old cat, Rusty, all of a sudden would start falling over while she walked. She would walk for about 3 feet and fall over on her right side. This scared my aunt, Karen, so she rushed little Rusty to an emergency vet in Minneapolis. The vet said that she probably had an ear infection in her right ear, and because of this, her equalibrium was off. She prescribed some antibiotics and sent Karen and Rusty...

I would like to discuss how giving the option to the buyers on ebay would help to garner rapport for purchases made and enhance the overall shopping experience for buyers on ebay through goodwill. I believe that buyers on ebay may want to be given the option to donate a percentage of their purchases made to their favorite charity. This would be like escrip.com, where they are able to fund local schools and organizations for fundraiser events etc.

Missionfish and Ebay need to make it clear that there is a $5 minimum donation on their auction donation option or get rid of Missionfish altogether. Recently. my daughter wanted to sell some of her trading cards and a gift certificate in order to save money to buy a pet. Wanting to raise a socially responsible child, I encouraged her when she wanted to donate 10% of each auction to charity. She was delighted when she sold 8 items and made $33. I expected $3 to removed from my account,...

Under eBay's policies I am not permitted to state in my auctions that I donate a portion of the profit directly to any charity. But, donations can be made through eBay's system Mission Fish. If I contribute through Mission Fish, how 100% will ever reach the charity of my choice? eBay states, "*Mission Fish takes a small deduction (3.75%) from your total gift amount to help offset processing fees. To ensure that 100% of your gift reaches the benefiting nonprofit, you can add 3.75% to your...

I just sold an item for my favorite charity. What happened to the link to make my donation? Do they just automatically take it from my Paypal account without giving me a chance? In previous sales, I received a reminder right after the sale, and then a link would appear in My Ebay to make the donation. Any ideas where it went? I can't even click the generic Missionfish link, it won't work. Am I just being dense, or have they changed procedures again? Any help would be much appreciated. Carol

I would like to donate money to a nonprofit auction out of every or most of my eBay auctions. However, 10%-100% is a bit much for me for some items. Is there a feature where I could specify how much I could donate in a flat rate or a certain lower percentage?

This is my first item that sold for my charity of choice. How do they get my $5? I just assumed that it would come out of my ending listing fees. Can someone explain the next steps for me? It is much appreciated.

June 30, 2009 To All Ebay Sellers: Upon the death of the musical legend, Michael Jackson, all products related to him have been in high demand. Because these items are so highly desired, all of the merchandise has sky-rocketed in price. This increase in price provides for an increase in profit, which many people are using to line their pockets with the profits they can make by selling the products of Michael Jackson’s genius. However, if the profit margins are much higher, is there not...
