***eBay for Charity: Ebola Crisis appeal***

30 October, 2014 | 02:24PM GMT

Hello,

The rapid spread of Ebola in West Africa is destroying lives, putting a huge strain on health services, and devastating communities. Nearly 5,000 people have died and more than 10,000 have been infected.

Leading UK aid agencies have launched a major appeal through the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) for donations to help those affected.

You can support the charities involved on eBay through the PayPal Giving Fund. Simply visit our Ebola Crisis Appeal page and you’ll be able to:

1. Make a cash donation via PayPal Giving Fund

2. Buy an item from the page; all purchases support the appeal

3. List an item for sale as a donation to a participating charity.

4. Make a participating charity your ‘favourite’ on eBay.

100% of donations will be passed on to the DEC, as PayPal covers all PayPal Giving Fund’s administrative costs.

Regards,

The eBay Team
