eBay has launched eBay.com/celebrity, a shopping destination that combines celebrity experiences, memorabilia and merchandise with philanthropic causes. eBay.com/celebrity is part of eBay’s charitable platform eBay Giving Works.

eBay Celebrity will offer merchandise, concert tickets, and meet and greet opportunities, as part of its charity auctions. eBay Celebrity participants at launch include: Christina Aguilera, Jeff Bridges, Michael Cooper, Robert Duvall, Jimmie Johnson, Wladimir Klitschko, Sienna Miller, Hayden Panettiere, Katy Perry, Brad Pitt, Troy Polamalu, Tarina Tarantino, and Joe Walsh.

eBay Giving Works is an eight year-old program that ways for eBay sellers and buyers to support their favorite nonprofits.
