How to sell items on eBay for Life
Select Life
When you’re listing your item, look for the option to select a charity to support. Pick “Life 2009” (our legal name) as your charity and select the percentage (10-100%) of your final selling price you’d like to donate.
Sell and dispatch
Easy peasy: sell and dispatch your item as normal. The buyer pays you full amount.
Donate
Approximately 21 days after the transaction is complete, PayPal Giving Fund will automatically receive the donation from your PayPal account and send it over to Life!
