Part II – The Nuts and Bolts
Thursday, March 8, 2007
10:00-11:00 a.m. PST
Charity listings on eBay have a higher average selling price than non-charity items. You’d like to take advantage of that fact, but sellers on eBay are faced with lots of choices: What should my title include? When should my listing start/end? How long can I run an auction? How do I set pricing? So why use trial and error when you can get answers now and start selling successfully? This 60-minute Webinar will show you how to:
- Research the eBay Marketplace
- Connect your eBay and MissionFish accounts
- Create a Giving Works listing, live, step-by-step
- Manage your bidders and accept payments
Avoid mistakes others have made. The tips and advice presented in this class will save you time and money. At the end of Part II, you’ll be able to successfully create an eBay Giving Works listing and begin selling directly for your nonprofit organization. But how will you stand out among all those items on eBay? Our final course will show you!
Part III – Bringing It to Life
Thursday, March 15, 2007

You have items to sell, you know how to list on eBay, but how do you stand out from the crowd? People want to buy through the Giving Works program, how do they find you? eBay has many tools – some free – that will help you differentiate your items from the crowd.
