Promoting a listing

[hightidealong]

Hi there everyone, if I sell an item 100% for Charity but also have eBay promote the listing at 9%, would the charity still get 100 % of the value? (Then I would pay out of pocket for the 9%? ) thanks! 
il hoping it is this situation because i want to maximize what the charity gets and not interfere with that. Thanks

Cost to promote will come out of funds received first the charity will get whatever is left after fees.

Please know the promotional percentage will also include taxes & shipping , not just the cost of item!

That's nice of you to offer all proceeds to a Charity, However for them to get more you need to raise the price so that after fees & taxes etc., The amount is what you would like the charity to actually receive.

No; $20 sale will have about $4.60 'fees' and then $15.40 will go to charity (not counting shipping costs)

Here's a link to the rules about charity selling:

https://www.ebay.com/help/account/donating-ebay-charity/buying-selling-ebay-benefit-nonprofit-organi...

If you are using your own account to sell, as a community seller, and choosing to donate a percentage (between 10% to 100%) of the proceeds to a charity, then the charity receives that percentage of the selling price.

You will receive a discount on the final value fees equal to the percentage you donated to charity. "All other eBay fees and charges still apply and do not qualify for a discount."

So, if you donate 100% to a charity, the charity receives 100% of the selling price. You would get a credit for the full amount of the final value fees (so that would be a wash), and you would be charged any promotion or other fees.
