eBay - I retract my rant

This statement from eBay made me feel all is right with the world for a few more days. I will be listing all the auctions I can by their Feb 12th deadline, starting today!!!

"We are happy to announce that, thanks to eBay, 100% of your Haiti donations made on eBay will reach the relief nonprofits you support.

eBay has agreed to cover all MissionFish processing costs on donations to Haiti relief. Their support will apply to Give At Checkout and Donate Now gifts made from January 13th to February 12th, to the organizations listed in our Haiti relief campaign. It will also apply to donations that result from Community Seller listings created for those nonprofits in the same period.

In addition, the eBay Giving Works fee credit policy still applies, giving Community Sellers a credit on insertion and final value fees proportional to the amount you donate from your listing. Plus, PayPal is waiving their processing fees for donations to a number of Haiti nonprofits. More from eBay about Haiti.

Finally, you should know that the eBay Community has donated more than $600,000 in immediate Give At Checkout and Donate Now donations since last Wednesday. And there are currently 30,000+ listings live to benefit Haiti relief nonprofits, which will also turn into donations once they sell.

We continue to be encouraged by your generosity, and are happy to play a small part in helping you support the relief effort. Keep it up eBay Community!"
