MySkatingMall.com was created to help meet pressing needs that have developed in the skating community. For example, a large number of skating families are struggling in this economy to keep up with the expense of skating. Clubs and teams are having difficulty raising enough funds to support their members. Also, there previously was no central place customized to figure skating to buy and sell high quality skating items that are no longer in use.
A founding principle of MySkatingMall.com is that a minimum of 5% of every purchase will be given to grassroots skating groups. That is half of all the commissions collected!
When an item is being listed on MySkatingMall.com, the seller can choose for 2.5% to 92.5% of the sale price to be automatically forwarded to the PayPal account of her/his club, team, or favorite skating charity upon the sale of the item. (2.5% also goes to the club or team of the buyer.) For example, if a club can get five of its members to list $50 skating dresses and choose for 90% of the proceeds to go to the club, then the club will have $225 in its PayPal account when all 5 of those dresses sell!
Following the Money Trail
It is common wisdom that following where the money goes tells the true story about an organization. That is why we created two flowcharts that describe exactly how money gets distributed when purchases occur on MySkatingMall.com. One chart is for Used Purchases and the second is for Partner Store Purchases. Please click on this link to see these charts and learn what makes MySkatingMall.com unique among all other skating sites:
How It Works
In addition to these automatic donations, 5% of every purchase you make from our Partner Stores (their logos are at the bottom of the MySkatingMall.com homepage), will be given to your club, team, or charity.
