Hi everyone:
I am very excited to tell you about two big changes to eBay Giving Works that we have been discussing on this board for some time. You’ve been asking for them, and now they’re here!
What’s changing? First, starting today the eBay Giving Works minimum donation has been slashed from $5 to $1 for each Community Seller listing that sells. For as little as $1 (or the donation percentage you select, whichever is greater) you can donate to your favorite nonprofit whenever you sell on eBay. This change starts immediately, applying to all eBay Giving Works listings that sell on or after October 1.
Second, the automatic collection date for eBay Giving Works donations is being extended from the second Monday after a listing ends to the fourth Monday after a listing ends. As always, donations can always be paid any time after an eBay Giving Works listings ends (you don’t have to wait for the automatic collection). And donation minimums and collections dates do not apply to nonprofits Direct Selling on eBay to raise funds for themselves.
Why are we making these changes? We recognize that the old minimum donation was excluding a lot of sellers whose items can’t support a $5 donation each, especially in this economy. By dropping the minimum to $1 per listing – and gearing our systems to handle the smaller amounts efficiently – we are hoping to make eBay Giving Works accessible for more sellers who want to help.
We also know that the 21-day hold PayPal sometimes places has meant that we have been collecting some donations before funds are freed up in the seller's PayPal account. The extra two weeks here is designed to give sellers more time to receive their funds from PayPal (and the buyer too), before we collect donations.
What’s next? As you know, we are constantly working on ideas to make the program better, and we roll them out as soon as they’re ready. We have a stack of new projects that we’re working on now, but we still want more suggestions: many eBay Giving Works changes come directly from your feedback. Please keep
sharing your ideas for making this program better.

I am unable to make the $1 donation. Each time I set an auction up, it sets the amount to 10%. I can find nowhere that this procedure is explained nor can I change my charity.
