Now through December 20th, shoppers can visit  eBay.com/TIMESUP  to make an impact through a variety of inventory and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. All funds raised on  eBay for Charity  will benefit the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, which connects those who experience sexual misconduct, including assault, harassment, abuse and related retaliation in the workplace or in trying to advance their careers with legal and public relations assistance.

“We are excited to partner with eBay to offer one-of-a-kind experiences and products from our supporters across the entertainment industry and around the world to the public,” said Fatima Goss Graves, co-founder of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund and President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center. “Each contribution will especially help low-wage workers connect to the legal resources they need to fight against sexual harassment. This scourge continues to thrive across all industries—and it’s time to tackle it. We are dedicated to creating a reality where no worker must endure abuse for a paycheck.”

“Equality, safety, diversity, inclusion and purpose are integral to eBay’s culture and business,” said Brenda Halkias, General Manager, eBay for Charity. “As one of the world’s leading marketplaces, we recognize the significant work of TIME’S UP and the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, and are leveraging the power of our platform and community to support and celebrate the one-year anniversary of this important initiative."

This is the second-time TIME’S UP and eBay have partnered to raise funds for the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund. Since launching in January 2018, the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund has raised more than $22 million, including funds raised from the previous partnership with eBay and Condé Nast, which gave fans a chance to bid on iconic red carpet looks worn as a part of the TIME’S UP’s “Why We Wear Black” campaign at the Golden Globes. To date, the Legal Defense Fund has connected more than 3,750 women and men to legal resources. The eBay community has raised over $810 million dollars on eBay for Charity for various organizations.
