eBay Giving Works program allows you to donate 10% - 100% of your listing's sale to the charity of your choice (provided they are signed up with the program.)
1. It makes me feel good to help others.
2. It's an easy way to donate to causes I care about.
3. It helps my listings stand out.
4. If there are two identical items people will be more likely to chose your item to purchase.
5. You don't have to pay eBay fees on the portion you donate. That means your donation dollar goes further than if you sold the item on eBay and then donated to your favorite charity offline.
6. Tax deductible giving!
7. I have a section in my store that is called Partial Proceeds to Charity.
8. It actually earns me more money! I know this sounds odd, but I have done experiments in the past with items selling identical items and I almost always had the item sell for MORE than it would have if I had kept all the money myself. Granted, it's not much more, but if I can make a difference and make a donation and still make about $1 more, I see no reason NOT to use this great feature on eBay!
