You want to give to a specific charity?

Write them a cheque and keep the information private.

Hi brandeentertainment,

If you want to drop me an email, I'll get you connected with someone on our team who may be able to help out.

The rules are complicated-- and we are talking eBay complicated here!

I don't know if pierre is working on the "let not thy left hand..." basis or whether he thinks that buyers react poorly to what feels like a forced donation to a charity or whether he thinks the customer will be suspicious of any charity they have not heard of, but I don't think adding a charity would increase your sales and may even reduce them.

And that pre-supposes that the theatre is set up as an actual charity (and not a non-profit corporation which is easier). 

I must say your line of DVDs works well with the idea of supporting the reopening of a movie theatre.
