Charity Raffles
Charities often depend on charity raffles and fundraisers for an income.
The prizes are normally donated by local or national companies in return for a bit of promotion.What better way to support your chosen charity than by entering their raffles!
You're helping good causes and there is always a chance you might win something.Raffle entries can be fairly low - especially local events.
You may even want to donate some of your unwanted prizes to your favourite charity for a boot sale.In some cases however the charity may be better off selling the item on an online auction site such as Ebay
Anything signed or rare always sells well on ebay. You can even get reduced fees for charites on both ebay & Paypal (an online payment site).If you are a fundraiser for a charity don't dismiss the possibilities of selling donated items on ebay. You'll be surprised at how much an item will sell for that may appear worthless!
I run an ebay shop at Ebay Stores and would happily offer some advice to anyone thinking of setting one up. My contact email is at the bottom of this page.Note: You will never have to pay for a prize or call a Premium Rate number to receive a prize. See our feature on scams here
