eBay's new Green site! Enter for Chance to Win $1,000 eBay Gift Card!

Have you heard the news?!?!?!  eBay is going Green!  No, this isn't like the Blackout we had recently, it's all about living a better life and not always depending on new materials to sustain us.

This post is more of an educational tool as to what we say going "green" is.  It is not having to depend on new materials in products that we buy.  Buying on eBay, items that people have used and are selling because they no longer need them is a way of going green.  You are using products that are already in use.  This can be anything from clothing, electronics to automobile's.  Now, granted, a car from the 60's?  Probably not so green!

eBay Green site offers some really great features!  On their home page link that you can click to the left there, you can hover over the PLUS sign next to the product for it to tell you information about it and how it can be considered "green":

They also have a pretty cool calculator if you would like to try and determine how much you can sell your items for:

The $.01 you see is what a bid starts out at.  I love also seeing them include how many listings sold for this in the past three weeks.

Also, want to upgrade your electronics?  Check out the following image!  eBay has an option for you to do an instant sell with them!  They have a list of popular items that are brought to them to be sold, but, you can also try manually inputting your electronic:

 If you choose to accept what they are offering, just click that link right there to "Accept this offer".  Easy Peasy right?  For a fully functional phone, as described above, they are willing to buy it for $200.  Only need $100 more to buy that upgraded iPhone 4s.  Not too shabby I think!

Now, my favorite with this site?  The new lists!  This option allows you to actually promote multiple items from your listings!  Umm, how awesome is that???  I love this feature because some bidders may not want to look at your listings by clicking the link that is offered, but, if they see other pictures of what you are offering, I'm thinking they will be happier clicking those because they know they may be interested.  Check out the image below:
