eBay, the world’s largest online marketplace, makes it easy to help raise a lot for a cause by giving a little. Throughout October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, eBay is inviting consumers to join the fight against breast cancer by pledging their support to sell, buy or donate through eBay Giving Works.

eBay Giving Works, a program offering convenient, trusted ways for eBay sellers and buyers to support their favorite nonprofits, provides a unique opportunity for consumers to give to a cause they care about without reaching into their wallets. By simply looking in their closets, selling an item and donating a portion of the proceeds, a real difference can be made and a life could be saved.

“In fact, for the value of every laptop sold this month through Giving Works, one uninsured patient could get a mammogram,” said Robert Chatwani, Director eBay Global Citizenship. “Each person who takes part in this campaign will have an impact on the fight against breast cancer.”
