"Besides the new funds raised through our eBay auction, the profile of the charity has been raised immeasurably through eBay for Charity. We're still riding the wave!" — Claire Newman, Development Office, Books Abroad
"We are quite often given things from companies which are of value, we could sell these in a draw but our immediate audience is quite small, so we decided to use eBay for Charity as a way of reaching a wider audience. It seems like an easy and sustainable way of raising much needed cash." — Paula Colbourn, FitKidz 
"In late 2007 CLIC Sargent decided to take the plunge and create a full time eBay team, which has resulted in success beyond our wildest expectations – in this time we have raised over £150,000 for the charity. With over 1 million unique visitors to our pages, eBay has also enabled CLIC Sargent to communicate its key messages to a massive audience of potential supporters right across the world." — Kate Ward, eBay Coordinator, Clic Sargent
"eBay and MissionFish have helped connect us to a broad range of supporters, donors and bidders that we would not otherwise have been able to reach. This has both expanded our fundraising base and helped us to find active supporters who might not otherwise have been aware of our work." — Sean Flanagan, Wild Trout Trust
