Is it a good idea to ask for donations on ebay?

I want to ask for donations to help me get an iphone 5, but I'm not sure if its a good idea or not. Please answer!

I'm pretty sure it against the rules.ebay is for buying and selling things, not begging for money for stupid things.

If you think you can get people to donate go ahead

I don't know. I wouldnt do it because its pretty lame. All you do is get a freaking job and save it and buy it. I did it and so did everyone else.

EBay will not allow it.

Who is going to toss you money so you can have the latest telephone anyway. Go out and get a job. Have a yard sale. Pick up scrap metal. Earn your money. Begging for money for a luxury item is highly frowned upon.

You can only take donations for legitimate charities like St. Jude or Habitat for Humanity. You can't use it to beg for money. That's why it's called a "donation" and not welfare or a handout.

It depends on why you're asking. If it's a test to see how quickly you can get your account suspended, it's a great idea.

  • What do you do with a good iPhone app idea but no money? I thought of a brilliant iPhone app idea. This idea is potentially worth millions (Of course it would be a big project to get started). The problem is that I have no money to hire programmers, and I definitely can't make it by myself. Any advice?
  • Used iphone on ebay, good or bad idea? Thinking of buying a unlocked iphone on ebay. Is this a good idea? Will I have probs with activation? Can I use straight talk with it?
  • My ask.fm won't let me ask anonymous? I have an iPhone 4, and I didn't update to iOS7. When the ask.fm app had an update recently, it didn't allow people to ask anonymous. So people could delete it then just not update it when they redownloaded it. Well I have deleted it like 3 times and I haven't updated it either. Why can't I ask anonymous questions still? And how can I?
  • Is trading a PSP 1000 for an iphone 3g a good idea? I'm trading someone my PSP 1000 that no longer reads memory sticks for his old iphone 3g 8GB. I'm looking for something to use as an apple-style mp3 player. Would it be a good trade? With the PSP I'm giving him a carrying case, charger, and a few games because he bought me lunch. With the iPhone, he's giving me a hard case, a charger, and a pair of skullcandy lowriders. Would you consider this wise or should i give less?
