It pays to save the world
We’re excited to tell you that TinyPay.me, has launched on the 14th of February 2010.
Sellers are now able to put both physical and digital items for sale within 60 seconds. They can choose to donate a share of their sale (ranging from 1 % to 100 %) to one of the charities we support.
At this moment we are contacting various charities; if they wish we will support them. Our aim is to support a maximum of 5 charities at a given time; consisting of 2 ‘large’ and 3 ’small’ charities. Limiting the amount of charities will both ensure our users aren’t overwhelmed by choice and focusing the donations on a few charities thus making more impact.
The topics we support are:
- animals
- arts
- culture
- education
- environment
- health
- human rights
- public benefits
We will dedicate blog articles about every charity on tinypay.me in order to inform our users about the organizations they can support.
We’re certainly excited to dedicate some of our time, efforts and money to the good cause – we hope you are too!
How do payments work?
Thanks to PayPal’s new Adaptive API, we can directly transfer donations to the PayPal accounts of these charities when buyers buy something!
How can your charity participate?
If you would like to participate please send us a confirmation by e-mail along with the following information:
- The title of your charity
- A short description of your charity (max 150 characters)
- A link to your website for more information
- Your PayPal address in order to transfer funds
Once we add your charity it will be visible and selectable on the dropdown list. See: ‘Donate to charity’ on http://tinypay.me
Tinypay.me will allow people, for the first time, to easily sell products online and do something good in return for the world.
We think it’s wonderful! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to e-mail me on charity@tinypay.me.
Best regards,
Jannita – Charity Manager
