Hello Arnie,

Thank you for taking the time to write eBay with your concerns. My name
is Andra and I'm happy to help you further.

I've reviewed your listing, "Antique Hit Miss Engine, Mad Man Maytag
killer," item 7377132820, and it contained the following information:

"Checks are to be made to ATIS Charity Auction and all proceeds will be
donated to that charity."

Arnie, eBay encourages community members to be active in supporting
charitable endeavors. Because charitable fundraising is a highly
regulated area subject to numerous state and federal laws, eBay has
partnered with MissionFish to make charitable listing easy and has
created very specific guidelines for allowing charitable solicitations
on eBay. We will allow sellers to list items on eBay and collect
proceeds (in whole or in part) on behalf of a charity, either via
MissionFish, or directly on eBay, as long as the listings meet these
guidelines. We hope that these guidelines will help you to have a safe
and successful trading experience on eBay, and we will remove listings
that do not comply with these standards.

Guidelines for MissionFish listings:
*Sellers may only list items via MissionFish on eBay that meet the
MissionFish listing guidelines, including the guidelines designed to
obtain advance consent from the charities.
*Sellers may only solicit on behalf of recognized charitable
organizations registered with MissionFish.

Guidelines for Non-MissionFish listings
*Sellers may only list items on behalf of a charity if the charity has
provided advance written consent for the solicitation. To prove that you
have obtained that consent, you must include a scanned copy of the
consent in the listing.
*Sellers may only solicit on behalf of recognized 501c3 or 501c4
charitable organizations

for being a valuable member of the eBay community. Have a wonderful time
shopping and selling on eBay throughout the New Year!
