eBay’s ‘world of good’
One of the most interesting ventures featured at the Sustainable Brands conference in Monterey was worldofgood.com, a new eBay community which allows consumers to buy products which have a positive social, environmental and economic impact around the world. This is a remarkable project which will connect third world producers with customers who want to make a difference when they shop. It’s a partnership between eBay and World of Good Inc, which was founded by Priya Haji. Here is Priya, with Robert Chatwani from eBay, talking about their partnership. We wish them every success.

Read the fine print. Ebay still makes the same fees and requires sellers to be a business pay pal user. Translation; 10-15% fees on the goods sold by disadvantaged people. This is just a coat of green paint on corporate greed.
