How much could your charity earn on eBay?
Guest blog by Listing Monster AI
Our research
We’ve analysed the eBay sales performance of every UK charity, using publicly available feedback data to estimate sales volume, and compared this to the number of donation points each charity operates (including donation-taking shops and donation centres).
So, what does “eBay sales per donation point” tell us?
By taking the number of donation points as a rough indicator of a charity’s donated goods supply, we can determine which charities are making the most of their potential on eBay. This metric offers a more meaningful comparison of eBay success than a simple sales ranking where larger charities will always dominate.
Top performers
Here are the top five charities excelling in terms of eBay sales per donation point:
Charity | Annual eBay sales volume per donation point |
A hospice in Hertfordshire | 2,980 |
A hospice in West Yorkshire | 2,000 |
A hospice in West Yorkshire | 1,504 |
A charity in Devon | 1,494 |
A hospice in Suffolk | 1,028 |
