Now I’m a big fan of Ebay, in fact for me it is positively addictive. Buying recycled goods, not having to fight the crowds in the city shops and having access to endless numbers of vintage handbags ticks all my boxes.
However, I have recently discovered a fantastic addition to the online auctioning world and wondered if anyone else has had experience of using it. Vegbay has the same buying and selling principles as Ebay but is specifically aimed at ‘the green community’.
Here is how they describe themselves:
“Vegbay.com is intended to be a friendly, enjoyable and useful experience for the green and veggie communities. We encourage environmentally and ethically aware shopping.”
What a great idea?!
I’m not sure how long Vegbay has been running but looking around the site there do not yet seem to be many ‘stores’ or items on sale. However it is free to register and to sell which has to be a bonus.
I’m not put off by the fact that there aren’t a lot of items listed on Vegbay yet because hey, with a little more exposure in the right places that could change. The types of things they’re selling show that they’re committed to their values and the fact that they have a handbag section is all good to me. Plus I can’t help but mention their adoption of Schilling the rescued cockerel.
Check Vegbay out and let us know what you think. If you’re already an Ebay seller then why not have a go with Vegbay too?
