Didn't see it posted. Was searching on ebay for more ways to spend my hard-earned cash and found this. It's a little too rich for my blood, but I thought I'd share the knowledge if anyone's interested. There are a lot of college game tickets and other neat stuff. (If you click on view seller's other items, you can see the list of stuff). Anyhoo, thought I'd share.

Edit: I did a tiny bit of research just to make sure it's legit, and it is.

why give ebay a cut of the proceeds
there should be a site for autions that no one is taking a cut of

Ebay fees are small, but I checked it out, out of curiosity, since you brought it up:


eBay Giving Works is the dedicated program for charity listings on eBay. Since 2000, the eBay Community has raised more than $54 million for a number of worthy causes from listings sold on eBay worldwide. To further support your generosity, eBay enacted the eBay Giving Works Fee Donation Policy, effective January 1, 2005 and amended to include more eligible listings September 9, 2005.

When a seller elects to donate at least 90% of an eBay Giving Works listing's final sale price to a certified nonprofit in the program and the item sells, eBay will donate the Insertion and Final Value Fees paid by the seller to the organization designated within the listing, up to a total of $2 million per year.
