Hey I went to ebay's site and I found this:



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.


I think that's really nice of them and I'm sure they can raise a lot of money from all the transactions that take place. It's nice to see big companies working together to help, especially when the U.S. is always viewed as a country ruled by greedy companies (sometimes I guess..).
