Small charities can enter a competition to win the opportunity to have their fundraising
message promoted to eBay shoppers as they checkout on the site. To be eligible, 
charities must have an annual turnover of less than £1.5 million.

 

The eBay Give at Checkout feature allows shoppers to make a small donation to a 
charity when they are purchasing an item.  In 2012 eBay buyers donated over £17,000
to the winners of this competition.

The competition, which is now in its third year, is run as part of Small Charity
Week 2013. Organisers the FSI have joined forces with eBay for Charity to offer 
five small charities the chance to benefit from this promotion.

## How to enter

Small charities should [submit a 90-character fundraising message](http://smallcharityweek.com/fundraising-day/)
that they would like to see publicised on eBay. The deadline is 29 May 2013.

 

Lorin May, Head of Charity and Sustainability, eBay Europe said: “eBay for Charity
allows charities of any size, large and small, to raise unrestricted funds via donations
from eBay users or charities’ own trading.  To date more than £48 million has been
raised for over 7,500 organisations, and we look forward to working with more small
charities to help them use eBay to fundraise.”
