Thank you so much for joining us! My name is Kristin Cunningham – I am in the Product Marketing organization at eBay and manage the eBay Giving Works program.

As many of you may know, eBay Giving Works, powered by MissionFish, offers you the opportunity to sell items on the site, and then automatically donate part or all of your final sale price to one of the certified organizations in the nonprofit directory. Since 2000, you, the eBay Community, have raised well over $54 million for charity from listings sold on eBay worldwide, and your generosity was once again on display in the overwhelming support we saw for victims of the recent hurricanes.

I am pleased to announce that eBay Giving Works is now offered in Turbo Lister, so you can list items to support your favorite nonprofits even more quickly and easily. We will take the next hour to share information about eBay Giving Works, discuss how to create an eBay Giving Works listing using Turbo Lister, and answer any questions you may have.

Of course, you can also use the Sell Your Item form to create eBay Giving Works listings, but we will not be going into detail on this process during this workshop. And, please note, eBay Giving Works is also available in the API – if your favorite tool or application does not include eBay Giving Works, please contact the provider to let them know of your interest.

Let’s begin…

The MissionFish Role

Many people ask about MissionFish and their role in offering the eBay Giving Works program…. I think the best way to think about MissionFish is that they power the charity or fundraising aspects of selling on eBay:

First, they manage the nonprofit directory and verify that every organization participating in the program meets program guidelines.

Second, they process donations and provide tax receipts.

Third, they ensure that every eBay Giving Works listing is marked with the MissionFish seal of approval to instill buyer confidence and trust.

How to Create an eBay Giving Works Listing using Turbo Lister

After you download the latest version of Turbo Lister, look in the Format Specifics section – here you’ll see a new field for Donate Percentage of Sale. Click the Change button, and then select a nonprofit and the percentage of the item’s final sale price you would like to donate.



(My apologies... we were trying to get slightly better screenshots for you with big red circles to call out important areas but they weren't ready in time - hopefully this will still be helpful )

Then click on “Select a new nonprofit” from the drop-down menu to search for a charity.

To choose a nonprofit from the search results, click the Select button. You can learn more about a specific charity by holding your cursor on the nonprofit name.

After selecting a charity and donation percentage, you will complete the remainder of your listing information as usual. Submit your listing and manage the sale as you normally would.
