Community Selling donation deductions
In order to help offset the costs of helping eBay run the eBay Giving Works program, MissionFish deducts a small amount from each donation from
Community Selling,
Give At Checkout, and
Donate Now. These deductions enable MissionFish to screen, train, and support nonprofits; process each donation; maintain technology; and handle administrative costs.
Because MissionFish itself is a nonprofit,100% of your donation amount is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. MissionFish will never deduct more than 20% of any donation.

| $1-$49.99 | 20% of donation |
| $50-$199.99 | 20% of the initial $49.99 donated ($10) + 15% of the remaining donation |
| $200-$999.99 | 20% of the initial $49.99 donated ($10) + 15% of the initial $50-$199.99 donated ($32.50) + 10% of remaining donation |
| $1,000-$4,999.99 | 20% of the initial $49.99 donated ($10) + 15% of the initial $50-$199.99 donated ($32.50) + 10% of initial $200-$999.99 ($112.50) + 5% of remaining donation |
