People around America and the world have contributed to relief efforts in countless ways. Many millions of people, however, are still searching for the best way to contribute. In conjunction with the State of New York and New York City, eBay invites you to join Auction for America – a unique effort to offer the support of the eBay Community to those who need it most.
"We believe people are basically good. We believe that everyone has something to contribute."

Since the day eBay was founded under these principles, millions of people have come together to form a powerful global trading community. The combination of community and the eBay platform presents an extraordinary opportunity to provide relief in the wake of September 11th.

Do Your Part In Auction For America
Our goal is to raise $100 million within 100 days. Your contributions — through buying, selling, or donating cash directly — will go to benefit work of organizations like the September 11th Fund. No matter how you contribute, eBay and eBay Online Payments will waive 100% of all related listing, final value, and processing fees to help maximize the impact of your participation. In order to ensure that 100% of your contribution goes to the Auction for America effort, eBay Online Payments, VISA, MasterCard, Wells Fargo and Discover have come together to offer something truly unprecedented for this effort: fee-free transaction processing online. This extraordinary contribution will ensure that millions of extra dollars go to relief charities rather to pay processing fees.

Everyone – buyers and sellers, new eBay users and eBay veterans – can help and there are several ways to participate: buy, sell or donate cash.

Please join us in thanking the following contributors for their exceptional contributions to Auction for America. Without their help, this enormous effort would not be possible.

"SCAM ALERT!!!"

Doesn't the Taliban own Ebay? The first clue to this discovery was when I failed to follow through on a purchase and my Ebay rating went from "reliable consumer" to "filthy capitalist american pig scum who should die Die DIE!"

Or maybe it's just my newly developed State and media sponsored overwhelming sense of crippling paranoia talking?

BUMP for anyone that missed it.

Obviously the Love Cruise delay has shakes desparately trying anything he can to offset his shortfall in anticipated attention levels...

Aaaaah!!!! Beautiful, my Webmaster! THIS is the auction I was talking about in my thresd, but Webby made it bigger and more organized!

And Shakes....Shakes Shakes Shakes.... do you know he's not REALLY an evil clown? He's just misguided - he's had his head spun around (again!) by the OVERWHELMING 15 minutes of fame that still has 14:30 to go if "Love Cruise" ever premieres! That, and the two different kinds of nacho chips that Fox will be springing for at the premeire party!!! (No double-dipping, you crazy kid you!)

(*Smooches that Clown anyway!*)

"Fee-free processing on line" --- by E-Bay and major credit card companies!!! WOW!!! Will WONDERS never cease!!

Thanks Webby for the Alert. I'll tell my son about this and he will jump in like a kid on Christmas morning.

(Maybe he will even get something for his MOM; never hurts to hint!! LOL).

BUMP!!! Too important to wind up on page 2! And not only for my own artwork, but for the whole auction! Come on people, clean out your closets and start posting your old stuff for this auction!

Yes this is a fantastic idea, Webby... I'd like to find a way to help out (a good buddy of mine is an Ebay member, I just remembered, so maybe I can hit him up for a favour or something). And... shakes... never fear, our systematic takeover of the USA is not being forgotten. (oops did I say that out loud?)
