hi i though this was a great idea,i think more people would buy a ticket then bid on the items, this money should go to a children charity,
i'm sure ebay could organize this.

How about running a charity raffle as someone has already said. Dizzy, Daisy and Donna ran a charity raffle a few weeks ago raised a huge amount.

Sell the tickets at between £3-£5 each, and that way it can be open to anyone, and more people are likely to enter. You can enter once if you cant spare much or buy a few more if you can.

Would raise more this way in the long term I think and everyone could contribute.
