"So sad for what's happening in Japan," Mark Tweeted. "Gonna dig in the bins & find some old blink-182 items to auction for the Red Cross."
"And yes, I already donated money of my own," he added.
Mark gathered up so many items that he apparently had to ask eBay for permission to post more!
"CRUD!!! ebay won't let me list any more items, and i got some good ones!" he wrote. "anyone know the ebay people and can raise the limit here?"
Well, he must have found the help he needed as he later wrote, "Thanks to everyone at @ebay for their help with the auctions. They are going above and beyond. Respect."
