eBay selling for charity puts small business with the
big names in the nonprofit world such as American Cancer Society

Setting it up is easy. Follow instructions below.

Don't forget to social share with creativity. Check out our experiments below. This is a crucial step to generate real free e-Commerce traffic to your eBay store. The humor and relevancy gives you the sales.

Our first tweet uses the paradox between fighting cancer (positive) and drinking cocktail (negative - health). Paradox and humor in tweets are like mint for the brain, refreshing and memorable, hence effective.


Our second tweet uses trendy and humorous concepts: Snap and the selfie social trend (think recent SnapChat IPO)  and the poop pillow pair with an unusual FIGHT CANCER message.


If there's one takeaway of this article:
humor wins on the internet.
Cats too.

Sell your product on Pinterest and Facebook - Prohibited Words

"There's a word in your product title that isn't allowed by Pinterest."
Shopify Pinterest Sales Channel troubleshoot example:
S'well Bottle Sparkling Champagne 17oz
Did you know that certain words are prohibited on Pinterest and Facebook? When you list your products through a platform such as Shopify on Pinterest and Facebook, you may encounter problems. Take a look at the screenshot above. Can you guess what keywords triggered the red flag?

Yes, "champagne". Though the product is indeed called S'well Bottle Sparkling Champagne. It is not allowed as the no alcohol policy applies.

Weapons and other sensitive words are also not allowed. Profanity is not allowed. For example, there's a black and white designer notebook from Japan that is the shape of a dagger. That's not allowed on Facebook and Pinterest market space.

Why? Social networks want to create a family friendly environment. The family friendly policy on Facebook is lengthy. A simple way to explain it: when Disney starts to display first person shooting game content, parents will turn against the channel and brand and forbid their kids to watch the magic of Disney. That's a loss for Disney as kids are its key customers. Social media wants young social influencers under the age of 21 as well as 21 and older. Under 21 is a key audience for Facebook (that's why SnapChat is so hot). So no alcohol, no weapons no sensitive issues.

Did you know that alcohol related banners on Facebook is allowed if the filter is set to 21 and above for United States and 18 for other countries.
