MissionFish Expenses Policy
- MissionFish makes a small deduction from each donation we process to offset credit card changes, bank fees and other expenses. Because we’re a charity, this portion is necessary to offset the costs of running our organisation.
- Donate Now donations
- Give at Checkout donations
- Community Seller donations
- Donate Now donations
- The deduction for Donate Now donations is 3.75% of the original donation (not including Gift Aid). The Donate Now feature is easier for us to produce and deliver so we have made our processing cost as low as possible, with no charge to the charities involved.
- Give at Checkout donations
- We make an all-inclusive deduction of 5% from donations made through eBay checkout. There are no additional deductions, such as processing charge or VAT, and no charge to the charities involved.
- Community Seller Donations
- The MissionFish deduction is based on the size of an individual Community Seller donation; the percentage gets smaller as the donation gets bigger. We never take more than 20% of any donation and our average deduction can be as low as 3%. Additionally, 100% of the Gift Aid we claim from Community Seller listings goes to the benefiting charity.
- Donations made by Credit Card, Debit Card or PayPal
