eBay Canada Promotes Charity Auction Bidding

eBay Canada announced it is holding "Auctions for Action," a month-long program that encourages users to bid on charity auctions. eBay Canada Managing Director Jordan Banks said, "We created Auctions for Action to reach eBay users who are looking for a new and exciting way to support causes close to their hearts. We combined the unique "thrill of the auction" with doing meaningful work, and created thrillanthropy - a total win for both contributor and cause." Since 2000, more than $110 million US has been raised for charity from listings sold on eBay worldwide.

Charity auctions include opportunities to be the guest of Joel Cohen, a writer of The Simpsons; participating in a rare naming ceremony with a Masai tribal chief in Africa; a brand new Volvo C30 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Sweden to collect it; and a trip to Paris and entrance to the Nina Ricci show, including an haute-couture wardrobe chosen by designer Olivier Theyskens.

Beginning September 2, Canadians can visit www.ebay.ca/auctionsforaction to view the full list of participating charities and register to bid on the auction packages. One hundred percent of the proceeds goes to charities and non-profit organizations across Canada.
