You are not alone in having been BURNED AND RIPPED-OFF by Mssionfish I will tell you even if you cancel all donations they will appear again IF you reuse any auction template you used when you made a donation, EVEN if you uncheck the donation giving. AND you need to go into “site preferences” and under “3rd party billing” open that and check the box to “Revoke” authorization of missionfish..now here comes another sly trick they use, IF you even look at the “donation” part of your seller dashboard they will automatically re add themselves as an authorized 3rd party to your paypal account and recharge you over and over. I have been on the phone several times and over several hours with paypal,ebay ect Ebay owns PayPal, Missionfish and Ebay, guess what you are paying the same company over and over I figure Im loosing at least ½ of my money maybe more, I have let my final items dwindle and am looking at other auction sites. I have had enough of Missionfish stealing from me.

**Update* after a LONG process Missionfish contacted me (by phone even  ) I must say Ryanne is a lovely asset to Ebay-giving works BUT this process is still flawed and I still cannot with good conciseness recommend getting involved with missionfish.

I was able to have a whole 6.00 refunded but I am out over 30.00!!  I was told I could go to each charity to request a refund but as anyone else who does not have time to run down 30.00 worth of $2, $3,$5 ect donations that add up to $30+ ...most like me will cut their loses and I still say until Ebay gets a working phone number for missionfish and hires more the 2 people to handle all the money world wide they taking in AVOID MISSIONFISH LIKE THE PLAGUE UNTIL FIXED

** Please note,  I have responded to a request by Ebay giving works to update this, I must also add I feel charity's are good things and I would have loved to kept giving but only what I determine, not what is taken from me. A system will not fix itself, Ebay owns missionfish (and Paypal) we need change and they need to hear us, by no means is this a personal attack on any employee and I am hoping with more attention. Ebay will fix this.

It's always been beneficial to come here and learn from the alumni of the school of hard knocks!

This time I came over to learn more about ebay Giving Works and Mission Fish before I "go seller."

Got a nearly endless collection of toys in the attic, and while I need revenue, I don't think I want to raise it from a mega-herd of My Little Ponys and related paraphernalia (they will be the first to go!) so....I thought I'd sell them for charity.

As usual, this turns out to be horrifically complicated.  I'm ok with donating 100% of the proceeds, making no money; but I absolutely can't afford to LOSE any.  Selling involves shipping, and that involves packaging materials and (in my limited experience) unpleasant surprises at the post office when they tell you what it really will cost to ship it.

But I need that attic space emptied -- need it bad enough to take a whack at selling on ebay.

Now you tell me that Mission Fish gets a cut and maybe they've got more surprises up their sleeve besides.

Is there a way to list something for sale on ebay, without cutting MF in on the deal?  If you "revoke authorization" of MF, or in my case never extend it in the first place, can you still list an auction as a charity auction and have ebay/paypal send the payment directly to the charity? (Less the infernal shipping charges.)

While I'm at it, does Paypal take a cut too?

Any advice appreciated, no matter how basic.  

I have had the same experience with MissionFish -- I got worried when it was so difficult accessing them from my ebay account.  To cancel MissionFish, go to your PayPal profile and go to My Preapproved Payments, click on Update.  There you can make MissionFish inactive.  From what I've read, it looks like they will try again...
