Want to dress like Kim Kardashian? Well, not only can you snag some of the stylish star’s fashions directly out of her closet, but you can help the Dream Foundation, the first national wish granting organization for adults suffering from life-limiting illness. The star has put select pieces of new and gently used clothing up on eBay to help benefit the organization, which seeks to enhance the quality of life for individuals, and their families, at the end of their lives by realizing a final wish. Kim explains, “I love to be able to pass along some of my favorite pieces to someone else who will get to enjoy them as much as I have. I even have many items I never had a chance to where yet. A few times a year, I bring my outfits, shoes, and accessories to Auction Cause who puts them on eBay for me.” Click here to check out all of Kim’s items on eBay, and click here to find out more about the Dream Foundation.

So where does Aphrodite, the original and glamorous goddess of love, find fashion inspiration? eBay, of course. At least that’s where Jaime Murray, who plays the timeless goddess in the CW’s Valentine, looks for it. “I’m an eBay whore,” she told PEOPLE recently on the set off her new show, which premiered yesterday, about a family of Greek gods who work to bring soul mates together. Since the immortal character she plays is thousands of years old, her clothes have to strike a balance between modern and vintage. “There’s echoes of that draping, that asymmetrical one-shouldered thing,” she says, “and echoes of the 1940s and ’70s.” While surfing the auction site, Murray also keeps her co-star Autumn Reeser in mind. “She’s always sending me eBay links to vintage clothing,” says Reeser, who plays Phoebe, the goddess of the Oracle. “I’m kind of a California hippie girl, myself, so I’m really enjoying Phoebe’s wardrobe.” We have to admit, we’re pretty obsessive eBay fans ourselves.

Page-turner The Kite Runner, Khaled Housseini’s best-selling book about friendship, betrayal, and redemption in Afghanistan, has inspired a unique eBay charity auction. Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Reese Witherspoon, Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Halle Berry, and Jake Gyllenhaal have each autographed the tail of one of 25 beautiful Afghan kites, just like those featured in the soon-to-be-be released film adaptation of the book. All proceeds will benefit the Afghanistan Relief Organization and go toward training teachers and building libraries in rural Afghanistan. Log on to ebay.com/kiterunner from now until December 15th to bid and help make the world a better place.

Not all your clothes from last year — or even last season — can safely translate into the coming one. So what are you suppose to do with all the leftovers that will never come back in style (think head scarves, skulls and crochet)? Before you begin tossing them in the bin, consider all your options. Featured in PEOPLE’s StyleWatch Febraury issue, our editors found four alternatives to parting with everything you are over:

1. Donate Them: Organizations like Goodwill.org and the Salvation Army will take donations of almost everything. Give your old work clothes to Dress For Success, which collects business clothes for low-income women. And for prom gowns that will never be worn again check out the Glass Slipper Project.

2. Consign Them: For items that are clean and in good condition visit a local shop where you can make 40 to 60 percent of a sale if your item is bought.

3. EBAY Them: Ebay.com style director, Constance White, says to attract buyers “photograph the back and front of your item on a body or form; be sure the photo is well lit and against a plain, light-colored background. Always state if the item is new or used, the brand and size. Finally, note any damage, no matter how small.”

4. Swap Them: Organize your own swap group among friends or check out Swapstyle.com where you can trade with women around the world.

Kate Middleton has been shopping on the high street again and everyone (including us) loves it! Prince William’s girlfriend, who turned 25 this week, was snapped on Tuesday morning as she left her house for work (at retail chain Jigsaw) in a black and white retro tunic dress from Topshop, £40 (or $78). The accessories buyer put her skills to use by teaming with a classic black blazer, opaque tights and suede knee high boots… and voila, the dress instantly becomes less sixties swing and more princess chic. After the photos surfaced in the British press, the dress sold out completely from Topshop, and it’s already turning up on Ebay!
