Can I mention in a listing what I do with proceeds ?

Ive been selling from my own ecommerce site for 20 yrs but Im relatively new to selling on Ebay. Wow. Have times changed.... 

My question is very specific. I do not intend on putting a link to another site in any listing. 
But here is what I want to say, and I dont know if its ok ir not. 

All proceeds from sales are donated to my personal blessing mission Lady Dragon Rider. 

Lady dragon rider is a dot com, but Im not linking to it or stating that it is. Im also not stating that its a charity as it is not a 5013c. 

Can I say at all what I do with the profits from sales ? 

Thank you for your time ~

To get more donations seems more likely.

eBay has policy for charity sales etc....

Best advice if it does not pertain to the item: leave out the other stuff. Purchasers usually are not interested in such.

You can apply to eBay to make it a charity registered with them.

There may be tax advantages.

 

Saying anything about your personal charity will turn off more buyers than will interest them. They will consider you to be a scammer.

This is business, not personal.

Keep religion and politics out of your advertisements.

@starlite-mountain,

 

You're not supposed to, no.

 

"All content in a listing must be directly related to the item or the seller's terms and conditions"

Yes, I did find in the Ebay policies where honestly, any mention of any other commercial site off of Ebay is prohibited.

 

Im not arguing the policy ( jameshen1 ) - Im only trying to clarify, so the point in asking my point is mute. Answering a question with another question is something you might to work on.
