Hotline and eBay Giving Works

The idea is basic, but oh-so-powerful: an item gets listed, and part or all of that item's final sale price gets donated to 211 SLO Hotline.

eBay Giving Works makes it simple for you to help your favorite cause. All it takes is a listing and a buyer—and your generosity—and a worthy nonprofit gets much needed funds to carry out its mission.

Ready, set... list!

If you're ready to dive right in and create your first eBay Giving Works listing, let us walk you through the steps you'll need to follow—before long, you'll be an expert!

1. Click on the "Sell" link on any eBay page—this will take you to the Sell Your Item form. Be sure to select the "Customize Your Listing" option to see the "eBay Giving Works" section!





2. In "Choose how you'd like to sell your item," look for the "eBay Giving Works" section. (Don't see it? Click on the link that says "Add or remove options" and put a check in the box next to "Donate a Percentage of Sale.")



3. Select "Select another nonprofit you love" and choose 211 SLO Hotline.
4. Choose a percentage of the final sale price to donate (Note: There's a minimum donation of $5 if your item sells).
5. Review and accept the eBay Giving Works Terms & Conditions (Note: You'll only have to do this once).
6. Complete the Sell Your Item form and submit your listing.

If you do not want to sell items on eBay but would like to donate items that can be sold, or if you have questions about the process, send an email to amy@slohotline.org.
