Help The Victims of the Haitian Earthquake!

Heroes 4 Haiti is a grassroots movement of artists seeking to raise money for organizations helping victims of the recent Haitian earthquake. Heroes 4 Haiti is not an organization, it's a collective response to human tragedy. We're asking everyone to donate a little bit of their talent, money or time towards helping those in need.

Please join us in helping our fellow human beings by creating art and auctioning it off for charity by listing it yourself using eBay's Giving Works program, by bidding in these auctions, by donating to relief organizations, or by volunteering your time to helping rebuild Haiti in the wake of this catastrophe.

  29. Hey, guys. I put up my original page -- with the "100% of the proceeds" deal going to the Red Cross -- and it sold. Great news. I assumed once I set up the auction that the $$$ would go directly to the Red Cross. But now the $$$ from the auction is sitting in my PayPal account. How do I transfer it over to the Red Cross? Please help!
