The Amazon Rainforest Foundation is raising funds from donated Camper shoes at eBay
with assistance from Auctioning4u’s fundraising arm Auctioning4good.
A range of 
men’s and women’s shoes in different sizes and style are on offer in the online 
auction. They are on sale for as low as £20, and all net proceeds from the sale 
will be donated to the Amazon Rainforest Foundation.

The shoes are being auctioned in partnership with Auctioning4Good which has photographed
and described each pair of shoes before posting them on eBay. They will also ensure
that each pair of shoes will be shipped as soon as payment has been made.

As the fundraising arm of Auctioning4u, Auctioning4Good’s aim is to help charities
sell high value items on eBay for a greater profit than could be achieved in a traditional
charity shop. It works with a range of charities as diverse as e-Learning Foundation,
MS Society and Tree Aid as well as schools and churches raising money for good causes.
It claims a sale-through rate above 90% compared to eBay’s average of 43%.
