Ebay Launches New Eco-Friendly Site!

by Kristen Banker on September 23, 2008 in Eco News

Ebay has just unveiled a new ecommerce marketplace called “WorldofGood.com by eBay“, which offers an online marketplace for people and their eco-friendly products from artisans across the world.

“WorldofGood.com by eBay gives shoppers who care about making a difference access to great products that help people and the planet,” said Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay Marketplaces. “Socially responsible shopping just got bigger and better.”

San Jose-based eBay, (NASDAQ:EBAY), said the new eco-friendly site allows consumers to purchase products made from recycled or natural materials, buy organic, or support artisan women in developing nations. WorldofGood.com is a one-stop-shop where the products, producers and sellers are verified by various third parties called trust providers, such as TransFair USA, Co-op America and Aid to Artisans.

Items range from clothing and accessories to toys and food items. Customers can see how their purchases affect the world with a function called “good prints”, which tells shoppers if their purchased products are “people-positive,” “planet-positive” or “animal-positive!”

As if I don’t have enough websites to check out on a daily basis, now this great marketplace will need some of my attention too! Hey, it’s a pretty great site and clear that more and more people all over the globe are paying attention to the green movement. Makes me happy!
