How it works
- 1. Your charity registers with MissionFish.
- 2. Your supporter lists an item on eBay, choosing a percentage of the sale price to donate to your charity
- 3. If the item sells, the seller is paid and posts the item to the buyer
- 4. MissionFish collects the donation from the seller, claims Gift Aid on your behalf, and passes the money on to your charity, making a small deduction to cover costs.
- You have the right to veto any unsuitable listings.
-
Donate Now – receive one-off online cash donations
- Your supporters can also make one-off donations to you via PayPal, without selling or buying an item on eBay. Every charity registered with MissionFish has a ’Donate Now’ function on their About My Charity page. MissionFish collects and distributes the donation and Gift Aid (if claimed) to your charity.
