Go Green With the eBay Green Team & a chance to win a $1000 eBay gift card!
I know, I know… “going green” is so trendy.
But really, we should all be doing what we can to reduce, reuse and recycle.
I do a pretty good job of recycling.
I even compost! Well, for 2 weeks now! In fact, the eBay folks even posted a composting FAQ that I have found to be very helpful!
Since when does eBay give composting advice? Well, since they’ve gone green!
But an area of The Three Rs that is a bit harder to integrate is REUSE. .
Enter the eBay Green Team.
People don’t aften associate eBay with “green”, but they should. It is a re-user’s paradise… And for that matter a reDUCER’S paradise as well. On can reduce one’s stuff by selling on eBay and one can reuse another’s unwanted stuff by … buying on eBay.
Right?
Right!
In an effort to let the world know that eBay is launching and growing this earth-friendly option… they are giving away a $1000 eBay gift card (Oh what a girl could do with a $1000 eBay gift card!!!) You must follow the steps below to enter… I did it myself. It’s not hard… only took a few minutes!

It automatically enters me? Or do you need my Ebay Id?? It’s jrsprik, just in case… =) I have a few things for sale on Ebay right now!!
hey
You need to sign in… then join the Green Team (scroll to near bottom of the site… and you’ll see “join us” in text. In order to enter, you need to add an item to the Greener Alternative or Eco Shopping Lists… giving a reason why the item is green 
You can even use one of the items you are selling! A great way to promote your own listing as well! 
Well, I joined and made a list of items, but it didn’t say anything about being entered in a contest or anything so I wondered…
Good question… just be sure your Greener Alternative and/or Eco Shopping list shows up on the site
Yes it seems strange that it didn’t say I had been entered. But I’m really glad to see ebay promoting the green lifestyle. There are some really great ideas already shared on the site!
