eBay and World of Good Inc. have teamed up to help to change the world for the better through people-positive and environment-positive commerce strategies. As people have become increasingly more aware of how their shopping choices impact the planet, there has been a growing demand for transparency in how and where their products are made.

World of Good’s aim is to provide for the eBay community the resources they need to make socially conscious shopping choices that help to alleviate poverty and protect the environment by working with wholesalers and retailers who are working toward the same aims. The site supplies tools to help ensure that producers and buyers have access to information on how to support fair trade wages and improve the economic conditions of artisans and their families, many of whom are living off less that four dollars per day.
