This writer perhaps is not well versed in the online charity auction world. http://www.ebaygivingworks.com is eBay’s charity division. The site is optimized for mobile devices, with an eBay App that is easy to use. eBay is the better place for charity auctions as you have a nonprofit’s own supporters bidding against 100 million worldwide eBay members. Plus eBay offers nonprofits 100% free auctions, no listing fee or commission. And no, I do not work for eBay, just very familiar with charity auctions.

Not really a comment on the article; I just wanted to thank you for being a decent human being who actually credits the people whose photos you use! -pugg71

There are other companies that do this, and a friend has used the technology for the past two yearly auctions. What is great is that like Pizza Hut for orders, users spend more money in apps and it raises returns enough to offset the technology implementation.
