Hi,
this will be a short guide due to bad experience I had. I am trying to save others from making my mistakes as well.
You all saw that it is possible to donate automatically a percentage from your listing just by clicking the right radio button on your listing ....We all want to donate and help !
What we don't know and are not told on the spot is that eBay takes a minimum of 5$ per donation !!!!!!!
Which means if you donate 10% and your Item and your Item sells at 1$ you donate 5$ you end up loosing more than 4$ because of (Pay pal + eBay fees+ donation).
I'll show you what happened to me:
Item:
Little Green Phone Telephone From Israel. Miniature.
Sale price: US $3.24
Donation %: 10%
Donation: US $5.00
A guide from eBay where they do explain about donations (The explanation you don't see when you list):
http://www.ebaygivingworks.com/ns/whatsnew.html
Just be careful you will not end up loosing too much money ,
I had 10 Items with donations of 10%-15% each starting with 0.99$ this might have caused me 50$ lose!!!! I took them all down!
If you find this guide helpful please don't forget to press "yes" on the "Was this guide helpful?" button.
Thanks for reading my guide I hope it was helpful.
Sorry for my spelling mistakes or misuse of The English Language if they occurred (Not a native speaker).
Have a nice day!! : )
