eBay Charity Guide
The eBay Charity platform provides a toolset to simplify donations to The Trevor Project and reach the largest potential audience.
This makes our auctions officially verified charity listings (marked by a ribbon icon), waives all listing fees, and 100% of the profits will automatically go directly to The Trevor Project.
Create Your Charity Listing
Go to the charity portal here: https://charity.ebay.com/charity/i/The-Trevor-Project/117836 and click the favorite button. If you are not already signed into eBay it will ask you to do so now.
Underneath the banner click the Sell For Charity “Learn More” button.
Scroll down, near the bottom of the page find the “Sell Now” button and click on it.
On the right side of the screen, select the “List an Item” button.
Start your listing by searching for the category. Suggestions: Space Marine 40k, Toy Miniatures, Miniatures D&D
You can narrow down the category for improved search results; while encouraged, this is not required and may click “Continue Without Match”
Name the listing, upload pictures, provide detailed information, and fill out the entire form to list your model on eBay as normal.
Remember to use the keywords Fabulous Marines in the description and #FabulousMarines in the name of the listing
Scroll down until you find the box “Donate a Portion to Charity,” and select it.
A drop-down menu will appear for donation percentage, select 100%. The charity name should automatically put your favorite charities at the top of the list. If this function is not working, type in Trevor Project.
Double-check you have entered everything correctly, The Trevor Project is selected at 100% donation, then list your Fabulous Marine!
