Vadis is looking for in kind donations of quality items to auction on EBay.
EBay has a program called EBay Giving Works that allows non profits to list items for sale on EBay at no cost. Vadis receives 100% of the proceeds, and donators receive a tax receipt.
In connection with Missionfish, buyers can also list items on EBay and contribute a percentage of the sale to a non profit. These listings are given additional visibility and tend to sell for higher prices than regular listings on EBay.
