Fundraising Ideas Using eBay
Have you thought of using the online auction site eBay as your
next major fundraiser?
I have, and it was a huge success!
Like many other businesses the fundraising business has seen
an incredible change since the internet. Everyday there are new
tools, softwares and websites that are making fundraising not
only easier but a lot more fun. One of my favorite fundraising
sites is eBay
There are many different ways you can take advantage of eBay's
services and use it as a fundraiser:
? Selling your member's junk - This is something I did
to fundraise for my son's preschool. I collected items from
member's attics, closets and garages and sold them on eBay. We
rose over $3,000 for our little preschool, which was a lot for
us. However, even though I got volunteers to help, it was way too
much work. At the time, eBay was my business and I knew what I
was doing. I cannot imagine someone who does not know anything
about the collecting business or selling on eBay to attempt
this.
? Selling your member's junk using a professional eBay
seller - Since eBay has become a major profession for many
people, there are businesses today that specialize in selling for
you. Find such a business and have them do all the work. All you
have to do is collect the stuff and they will advertise, sell,
and ship the items for you and send you a check. You can find a
seller on eBay that lives near you through eBay's Trading
Assistant program, or use a service like Auction Drop or
I-Soldit.
? New items donated by members - Many times members
will donate products rather than money. eBay makes it easy for
you to sell these items. Not only will you probably get a better
price in a market that has millions of buyers but also this will
increase your organization's visibility and potentially attract
new members.
? Sell local and national gift certificates - I've done
this with the preschool auction. Besides selling member's stuff,
we collected local and national gift certificates. Most
businesses are very generous and are happy to give you a
certificate. If the business that donated the certificate had a
website, I put a link to it from the eBay ad. The great thing
about listing gift certificates on eBay is that you don't have to
take a picture and the description is easy. However, You MUST
advertise the gift certificates: Besides sending out emails to
all our members with instructions to forward the email to family
and friends, I placed a free ad in the local Santa Cruz Market
newsgroups advertising the auction and the gift certificates. You
can find newsgroups that are specific for your area.
? Sell a calendar or cookbook etc. - eBay has a cool
section especially for charity organizations. Go to eBay and
check it out by looking for Charity Auctions. I've seen some
organizations sell their calendar, cookbook, or whatever on eBay.
If you have a supply of these items you can have an ongoing
auction selling that item (you would have to re-list it every 7
days).
This has great potential for a nonprofit that helps more
universal causes like homelessness, Cancer/AIDS, ecology and so
forth. Signing up on eBay as a nonprofit organization gets you
listed under a special section. Some people browse these lists
and will often buy something from the organization just for the
support. eBay also supplies nonprofits with their own web page
describing the organization with links back to their major
site.
? Encourage members and friends who sell on eBay to sign up
for eBay's new Giving Works - eBay's Giving Works program
helps sellers to easily donate a portion of their sale to their
favorite nonprofit. The seller chooses a nonprofit from a list
(or can add a new one) and pledges to a certain percentage of the
sale to that nonprofit. The pledged percentage is taken out
automatically by eBay after the auction. It could not be any
easier.
Frustrated with the usual unorganized school fundraisers
Suzanne Wouk turned to the internet in search of a better way. To
her amazement and delight, she found so many new and exciting
ways to fundraise that she started the site FundraisingMom.com in
order to share the information and ideas with others.
