Help The Arc of Texas Raise Funds for a New Program Called Real Life By Selling an Item on eBay

Here’s a fun and unique way to raise money for The Arc of Texas!

Now you can sell an item on eBay and donate from 10% to 100% of the finale sale price to help The Arc provide a new program called Real Life to people with disabilities and their families in Texas. Learn more about this great program under the Programs and Services section of our website.

Clean out that closet or attic. You can sell practically anything on eBay and donate a percentage of your net proceeds to The Arc of Texas.

How Does It Work?

MissionFish, a nonprofit organization specializing in online charitable auctions, developed Giving Works for eBay. Although items will be posted through MissionFish, they will appear with all other listings on eBay. Giving Works items are marked with a charity ribbon icon so buyers know they are supporting a good cause. Buyers tend to trust charity sellers more and these items often sell for more than non-charity listings. In addition, Giving Works items appear in three categories for the price of one: the category you select, the eBay Giving Works category and on the MissionFish nonprofit homepage.

To start:

1. Visit http://www.MissionFish.org
2. Get registered
3. Choose an item to sell
4. Write an item title and description
5. List your item through MissionFish and indicate that it will benefit The Arc of Texas
6. Complete your transaction- MissionFish collects your donation and passes it on to us.

We appreciate your continued support and hope you'll share this giving opportunity with a friend.

The MissionFish web site will give you tips on selling on eBay and a step by step easy instruction to selling on eBay.
