eBay Buyers and Sellers Gave a Record $54.8 Million to Thousands of Nonprofits in 2010

eBay continues to innovate new, easier ways for its community to give, such as regularly featuring different nonprofits at checkout and, as of 2010, allowing eBay users to select a favorite nonprofit, which is presented to them for a $1 donation every time they check out. Throughout the three-month 2010 holiday fundraising campaign, the eBay community donated a projected 32 percent more during checkout than in 2009.
