Auction for charity. eBay has a wonderful service called Giving Works, which allow sellers and non-profits to post items as a fundraiser. Buyers get the same eBay treasures, only knowing that the money is going to a good place.

eBay recently announced that it will donate up to $2 million per year of auction fees generated through their Giving Works site.

Giving Works has raised more than $40 million since 2000. Now that is a well functioning online fundraising program. Many companies sprouted up during the tech boom with promises of raising millions for charities. eBay's Giving Works is one of a very small few that have made it.
