Charity or Fundraising Listings

eBay encourages community members to be active in supporting charitable endeavours. eBay permits sellers to list items on eBay and collect proceeds (in whole or in part) on behalf of a charity as long as the listings comply with applicable laws and regulations. Under Singapore law, fundraising may only be conducted on behalf of recognised charities and all members are required to obtain a licence in order to conduct or participate in any fundraising appeal. Please see the Additional Information section for more detailed information of such regulations.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

  • Listing cancellation

  • Loss of eBay fees

  • Limits placed on account privileges

  • Loss of PowerSeller status

  • Account suspension

Examples of Registered and Exempt Charities in Singapore
  • Academy of Medicine Singapore

  • Care link

  • Foundation for the Needy Elderly

  • PAP Community Foundation

  • Singapore Art Society

A complete list of registered and exempt charities in Singapore is available at http://www.iras.gov.sg/esvportal/others/charities/charity/charitylist.asp

Additional Information

For more information, please refer to the Charities Act (Cap 37) and its subsidiary Regulations.

Why does eBay have this policy?

eBay urges its sellers and buyers to comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Given that charitable fundraising is a regulated area subject to several laws and regulations in Singapore, sellers are required to comply with all applicable laws before listing them on eBay.
