Raise Money for YMCA through eBay

Unwanted Christmas presents need not gather dust at the bottom of the closet this year thanks to a fundraising initiative which sees eBay teaming up with MissionFish to raise money for the YMCA.

|PIC1|MissionFish, a charity organisation specialising in online charitable auctions, has developed ‘eBay for Charity’, enabling you to sell all your unwanted clutter and Christmas presents on eBay and donate from 10 per cent to the full 100 per cent of the final sale price to the YMCA.

Although your items will be posted through MissionFish, they will appear with all other listings on eBay.

Furthermore, all eBay for Charity items will be marked with a charity ribbon icon so buyers know they are supporting a good cause in buying the item.

To sell your unused or unwanted goods simply go to missionfish.org.uk, register, and then list your item, indicating that it will benefit YMCA England.

The donation will be collected by MissionFish and passed on to the YMCA which will use the money to help many vulnerable young people across England.
