Campaign goals

Feeding America is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, working to connect people with food and end hunger. They selected eBay to produce a Community Selling Campaign designed to raise awareness and funds for their organization and mission. The campaign encouraged people to sell items on eBay with a portion of proceeds benefiting Feeding America.

Campaign strategy

A customized profile page was created on eBay, featuring details about the campaign and links to drive selling. A variety of promotional elements and social media support on eBay drove additional traffic to the charity page and increased visibility of the campaign.

Campaign tactics

To maximize conversions, eBay used audience targeting to reach Sellers with high-performing ROS placements. Additionally, high impact ad units on Sign Out, My eBay, and Homepage were used to drive awareness and elevate their message.

Campaign impact

Over 124,000 meals were provided through the Feeding America network with campaign-generated funds.
