Amazon.co.uk is promoting its Marketplace facility by hosting an online auction 
of celebrity autographed items in aid of the NSPCC.
Amazon.co.uk’s Marketplace facility
allows people to buy and sell new, used, collectable and refurbished items on the
same page that Amazon displays and sells the new item. People can choose to buy 
the item new from Amazon.co.uk, or buy a new, used, collectable or refurbished item
from a Marketplace seller, sometimes at a reduced price.

Amazon.co.uk is promoting this facility with an online marketplace and auction for
the NSPCC. Items available that will raise funds for the children’s charity include
signed England football team shirts, a guitar signed by the band Coldplay, and five
signed copies of “Forever Summer” by Nigella Lawson.

The NSPCC has teamed up with a number of online companies, although interestingly
it hasn’t become an Amazon.co.uk associate to earn commission on selling books via
Amazon. Instead it generates revenue by selling books via another online book retailer,
justgoodbooks.co.uk.
