Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t worry, charityBay has a keep what you raise system, so rest assured that all the effort and time investment you put into setting up and promoting your campaign will pay off.
Yes, you can! In actual fact, we encourage you to set up a campaign that is complemented by a gala event so that donors can donate money and place bids on items. This, in turn, helps to maximise your fundraising while keeping your donors engaged.
Don't worry at all. Our platform is very user friendly and intuitive. It is designed to support charities of all sizes, from big to small, and in case you need some guidance or support, our customer support heroes are always here to help you succeed and achieve your social mission.
We rely on tips (optional) from the regular fundraising campaigns and charge a 5% commission on successful transactions from gala events.
We offer various payment transfer options for the charities, including automated daily bank transfers (requires a
stripe account), regular bank transfers, which occur monthly or every $1000 or bank cheques sent out by post.
The payment methods available for the donors include all major credit cards, ApplePay and GPay on compatible devices.

What charities say about Us
A platform like charityBay is a great partnership for SisterWorks in spreading awareness about our organisation. Any bit of money invested into SisterWorks goes a very long way for a locally based non-profit like us. Furthermore, the ethos of charityBay in promoting a sustainable cycle for unused items blends with the ethical model of our SisterWorks products. We believe in sustainability and making consumption more eco friendly.
Genius! A way for charities to be supported by making use of items that may otherwise go to waste, especially during social distancing.
World Youth International are so excited to be featured on charityBay. This user-friendly online marketplace that helps you convert your unwanted valuable items into donations allows non-profit organisations such as ours to focus on our sustainable development projects. It has been a pleasure working closely with the charityBay team so far, and we hope our relationship can continue to grow over coming months and beyond. Well done to charityBay for their innovation in creating such a worthwhile platform to facilitate the act of giving when the world needs it most!
I love charityBay I think it is one of the most innovative ideas this century and a wonderful way of putting goods to good use. Its helping the environment and it is changing lives through the charities it supports. charityBay has helped ChildSafe to raise much-needed funds and we are looking forward to a long relationship with a great organisation changing the planet and charities, one purchase at a time.
Step Up For Students started to work with charityBay in 2020, a year full of challenges for everyone. However, thanks to the support of charityBay, a platform that helps charities across Australia, we have been able to support international students during these difficult times.
We are very grateful with Mateo and his team not only for the constant support, but for the innovative, unique, and eco-friendly ideas and strategies.
